About the Westfield SEight
The Westfield SEight is the ultimate evolution of the company's Lotus Seven-inspired design, distinguished by its wide-body chassis and the installation of a Rover V8 engine. While most Seven-style cars rely on high-revving four-cylinder units, the SEight offers a distinctively muscular character with effortless low-end torque and a deep exhaust note. The 4.0-litre variant provides a balanced power-to-weight ratio that makes it devastatingly quick in a straight line while retaining the agile, independent rear suspension handling Westfield is known for. It remains a cult favourite for those who find the traditional four-cylinder Seven experience too frantic.
