The Sonic7 is a modern alternative to the Lotus 7 clone, using the MK1 Ford Focus as a donor. ​

The Sonic7 was designed by Stuart Mills to cater for customers of Mills Extreme Vehicles (MEV) Ltd who like the MEV Rocket but desired more bodywork and weather protection. The sharp modern styling created a stir in the kit car scene which, prior to the arrival of the Rocket and the Sonic7, had been dominated by 1960’s replicas.

The Sonic7 was designed around a bespoke lightweight tubular space frame chassis. Torsional rigidity testing revealed high levels of stiffness whilst the lightweight Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) body panels remained unstressed. The overall styling was based upon the MEV Rocket’s slow curves. The Sonic7’s curves run up and out creating a very sleek, sharp, pleasing and yet unusual design. The original wooden pattern or buck for the body was made on the MEV Rocket chassis hence the wheelbase and track width remaining the same, but the Sonic7 chassis is made mostly from square tube to simplify fabrication.

If you are looking for something contemporary, fresh and distinctive then the Sonic7 is the car for you.
