While this car is not new, I like the fact that it can be modified down-the-road with the supercharger. They make a great point in the article that you can learn with the basic car for a season or two and then modify the car when your experience catches upw tih the cars capabilities.

It would be great if we could get this version state side even as a track only car.

Personally I would rather do my own force fed system on the car, that goes for the suspension as well.

For what they charge you can do a much better aftermarket solution, and save a few bucks.

I don't think Lotus has built any of these cars and I don't think it will come to the USA.

It's cool, and nice pricing idea, but if I wanted a great track car, I could buy a SRF, or any one of a number of Formula cars for far less money, get a faster car and have more places/entrants to run against. The only way I'm interested in this is if its streetable. Period.
