A 435 cc engine was introduced at the same time to replace the 425 cc unit; the 435 cc engine car was named 2CV 4 while the 602 cc took the name 2CV 6 (a variant in Argentina took the name 3CV). The 602 cc engine evolved to the M28 with 33 hp (24.3 kW) in 1970; this was the most powerful engine fitted to the 2CV.
The car consists of a fibreglass body mounted on an un-modified Citroën 2CV or Dyane floorpan and engine. Later a steel tube chassis was introduced. A Lomax is usually an open two-seat roadster. The original 1982 prototype had a bespoke four-wheel chassis which was specially constructed, and of shorter wheelbase than the donor car, a Citroën Ami.
A Burton roadster at Motor-Sport-Museum Hockenheimring. The Burton is a Dutch kit car produced since 2000 by the Burton Car Company. It is a custom two-seater retro-style fiberglass body on a Citroën 2CV chassis and components, and can be built as an open roadster, a hardtop with gull-wing doors, or a custom convertible.
The Ami is a rebodied 2CV with certain mechanical upgrades (particularly a larger engine than the 1950s 2CV), to compensate for the added weight. At launch all the cars were powered by an air cooled 602 cc two-cylinder flat engine which would also be offered at extra cost in the 2CV from 1970.
The Citroën 2CV (French: "deux chevaux" i.e. "deux chevaux-vapeur" is an air-cooled front-engine, front-wheel-drive economy car introduced at the 1948 Paris Salon de l'Automobile and manufactured by Citroën for model years 1948–1990. [1]
The Citroën G Van was the 1948 prototype built by Citroën of a small truck which looked like a scaled down version of the H Van, and equipped with an enlarged version of the 2CV flat twin enlarged to 475 cc. Front suspension was akin to that of the 2 CV but with twin suspension arms, while the springing medium was by torsion bars front and rear.

Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.
