It's been a while since we mentioned the Brazilian-made Lobini H1, especially since a fluctuation in currency has meant that it's not as economically viable to export the car to the US. Since we last spoke of this car it has received a slight redesign and, unlike the new Interlagos, the H1 is a car that's in production and features design from an ex-Lotus engineer, a 1.8T engine sources from Audi and a tax-induced price tag of about $96,000.

If the car ever does make it to export to the United States, the price will likely come down (original estimates were around $25,000 a pop). A cheap, Brazilian made sports car? Why not? [Lobini via World Car Fans]
