scuzzer - 21/12/03 at 11:29 PM

Lotus Elise is coming to the US as a 2005 model. It has the same toyota (Yamaha) engine thats in the Celica GT-S except it has 190 HP. The chassis is bonded and riveted aluminum and weights 155 lbs. Curb weight is just under 2000 lbs. It's a work of art. Too bad its almost $40,000 :! Check it out:
