The machine, as they say, is built around a heavy engine, and a tiny cockpit is located almost above the rear axle. Thanks to the so compact layout of the Cheetah with proper settings, the fighter is maneuverable. But there were also a lot of constructive minuses, and the project of the super-lightweight competitor to the legendary “Cobra” as a result did not have time to really develop – in all, no more than three dozen cars were produced, road and racing.
