Costin Sports Roadster

Costin Sports Roadster

The Costin Sports Roadster is a lightweight mid-engined sports car that was intended for initial launch in the mid 1990s. A prototype test bed chassis was finished in 1991 at Costin Ltd in Wales.

It was designed by the aerodynamicist Frank Costin. Costin had previous associations with Vanwall, Lotus, Maserati, and DTV for race car chassis designs. Another car was finished in the mid nineties with revised body styling but was not road registered until recently. In total 6 chassis were constructed and 2 bodies. The company Costin Ltd went into liquidation following unsuccessful attempts to find funding for the venture.
