WESTFIELD MEGABLADE

The Westfield Megablade, a lightweight sports car, emerged from Westfield's pursuit of performance.

It utilized motorcycle engines, offering high power-to-weight ratios.

Its origins trace back to Westfield's established reputation for producing kit cars, particularly replicas of the Lotus Seven.

The Megablade catered to enthusiasts seeking an exhilarating driving experience.

Westfield later introduced models like the XTR series, which could be considered successors, pushing the boundaries of lightweight performance further.

A lesser-known story involves early Megablade owners experimenting with different motorcycle engine configurations. Some enthusiasts even tried fitting larger, more powerful engines than originally intended, leading to interesting handling characteristics and requiring modifications to the chassis and suspension to manage the increased power.
