History
Westfield Sportscars Ltd. is a British sports car and kit car manufacturer .Sports cars have been developed and sold by the company since 1983
The Westfield marque has gained an enviable reputation for superb handling cars.particularly based on the design of the Lotus 7 .
The Westfield ZEi is a low volume facory built car with its roots firmly in the days of the great British sports car tradition.In a world dominated by hot hatches and their convertible derivatives the ZEi brings a breath of fresh air to open air motoring.
The unique all - independent suspension set up of the ZEi is fully adjustable, and allied to the complex multi tube spaceframe chassis .
and is both safe and yet possessed with remarkable traction through bends that would have other so called sportscars struggling for adhesion. Braking is taken care of by four wheel disc brakes all round.
