Here's a nice time lapse on a project assemly. An aluminum Type E. It looks very well done. I like these and a lightweight version is all good.

In fact, in terms of cognitive load the LWE draws more power than just about any car I’ve driven lately.
I’m pretty sure that is the point.
The LWE is nothing less than an indictment of modern supercars and their diminishing returns of driving pleasure.
There’s no electronic safety net to keep you from looping the car under power or flat-spotting the front tires by locking the brakes. You rely on your own resources as a driver, such as they are. It’s a hell of a lot of fun. Life-affirming, even.
