There were no badges on this little yellow beauty, so I couldn't tell if it was a Caterham, Westfield or other "kit car" as they are classified over here. But no matter what it was, it's Colin Chapman's Lotus 7: the ultimate expression of performance through light-weight
I saw this one in Brookside, Kansas City, with a touch of Americana on this English go-kart by the addition of a hood scoop. The scoop takes away from the pure lines of the 7, but no matter what it looks like, it's keeping the tradition alive.
The scoop leads me to believe it might be a SUPERSTALKER, which I'd never heard of until I did a minute of research. According to their website you can build one for about $18,000. The cheapest Caterham is about $28,00 sans engine and gearbox and go all the way up to over $60,000 for the R500. So if this is a SuperStalker it's a relative bargain compared to the English versions.

Looks like a toy car sitting between these two modern cars
