You might recognise this car’s owner/builder… Quentin Boylan has been on our channel before; he is also the man behind the AMG Hilux we featured a few weeks ago.

However, in many ways, this striking yellow creation is even more special than the AMG Hilux which the internet loved so much. While it looks like a Lotus Exige, it is actually a completely custom carbon fibre mould. It is longer and wider than a standard Exige to accommodate the huge Mercedes-AMG engine and the transmission.
Quentin sourced an SLS AMG motor from the Netherlands, and basically built the car around the powerplant. Boylan and his team left it naturally aspirated, but even so, it’s touching 650hp or 478 kW in a car that weighs just over a tonne with the owner on board.
This is quite simply a yellow and black rocket, and we’re so happy to bring this proudly South African creation to you on our channel!
A huge thank you to Quentin for his time and generosity with his cars, and a big congratulations to him and his team for creating this one-off masterpiece.
And a big thank you to Stefan Kotze for producing and making this film. Enjoy!
