...all you need is a supercharger and a Lotus Exige.:)
This car is making 285whp/185ft-lbs of tq @ 8500rpm with a hondata program.
Had a meeting with Doug at Hondata and he was playing with this when I got there, enjoy.

I saw a video of that racing a stock Lotus Exige...that thing is WICKED! Smoked the stocker like it was nothing. And redornin22, I don't think the stock Exige come with the Celica motors, they come with a Rover K motor.

The new Elise gets the Toyota motor, the Exige won't be coming to the US. It doesn't have a Honda motor stock. Also, the Toyota motor has more power the most Elises in the UK, and the same as the higher end Elises, so it may not be the motor you want, but it will still be FAST!

Why does that car have so many engines used in it? IF that is possible.. lets put a Ford Mustang Cobra in ours :-) hehe.. j/k please don't flame me.

British sports car, eh? Lotus.. sounds like some sort of bug. Reminds me of locust :) The fast flying bug that eats crops in swarms.. or the insecticons which were decepticons on The Transformers! Woot Woot!

Forgive me, i've had little sleep :-) I am still drueling over that Supercharged K20A. ^_^ I wouldn't mind having a garage full of those clean motors all sooped up so I can show it off.. but I can't do that.

WOOT WOOT!!:'(

My understanding is that the Lotus Elise we're getting has a 190 hp Toyota engine. It's supposed to weight under a ton too. I think they're on sale soon and I want one. I think it would look nice next to my EP in the garage. Oh, would anyone like to donate to my Get This Poor Bastard A Lotus Elise Fund?

40gs. dayam nice car and it would rape most cars on the track. =-)
wonder why toyota doesnt make a 180 hp mr2 spyder? 2200 lbs and +180 hp might do well vs a s2000.

No it doesnt come with a GTS, it has the same 170bhp engine as the 340R with option to upgrade to 190bhp.
