Very cool. :idhitit:

I've driven a few Elises before at autocross. What a blast. This thing will rock with the added structural rigidity over the Elise, and the extra oomph. Everything about these cars shouts "purpose built", like anything except drivability is secondary.

ksfrogman · 03-07-2006, 06:52 PM

Oh man, this one will be fun to have.

JackMac · 03-07-2006, 08:25 PM

Awesome car! I like these cars more and more.

Here is an Elise, owned by a friend of a friend, and it is his daily driver! Hope you don't mind if I add it here too.

ward · 03-07-2006, 08:40 PM

great car, even greater if you're shorter than 5'8"

I'm 6'2" and would not drive the car with another guy in it with me, too small..........

I would however like the car with a 98lb anorexic girl

The passenger seat is about 3/4 the size of the drivers seat in these cars, so 98 lbs is about right.

Best suited for track duty.

Please add your Lotus, maybe we can make this into a Lotus thread if more people add their Lotus pics.

From a local meet last weekend...

Those are incredibly great toys to take from side to side. I saw 3 of em in a furniture parking lot following each other super close and doing cool stuff like donuts, etc. I'm pretty sure they had to be the owner's kids...

ALPINE6SPD · 04-14-2006, 07:08 PM

Thats sick. I love the elise and exige. I will have an elise one day when I buy it pre-owned in a few years.

Small world. Here is one more pic of his car. And, one that my 4 year old picked up last week just for fun.

Exiges are hot.

I'd have this for a DD though:

JackMac · 04-28-2006, 03:23 PM

The Caterham is OT.

Shim, can you tell me what style BBS rims are on the matchbox?

BMW F22 · 04-28-2006, 04:15 PM

Im not liking it as much as the Lotux Elise. Fast car though.

Ghunger · 09-20-2006, 12:31 PM

Was searching for a new wallpaper and came across this the Sport Exige. Looks awesome and I bet it's fast as hell. 4.68 lbs/hp
