Lotus Article in "0-60" magazine - LotusTalk

mopho · 11-13-2007, 12:45 PM

The magazine should be hitting newsstands about now. I helped produce and photographed the piece which is featuring Serebo1's Elise, my Elan, GMendoza's Esprit V8, an 84 Esprit Turbo owned by Ron Shramm (not sure if he is on here), and an Exige S supplied by Lotus
There is also a photo essay from Hethel's 40th anniversary, a short on an turbo Nissan powered 7, as well as an interview with Peter Stevens.

You should be able to find it at Barnes and Noble or similar newsstands

That's awesome, I'll have to pick this up.

Nice shots, i do find it a tad ironic you're doing a piece for 0-60 though

because I don't put much weight on performance numbers?

TimMullen · 11-13-2007, 12:55 PM

I'll bet the photography is outstanding...

Hopefully there are lots of photos of the Elan...

I guess the real irony is that 0-60 mag does not do any performance testing. Why they named it that, I don't know

I have not seen the issue yet

Put out by AARP?

I hope so on both accounts

Not sure how much space they gave to each car yet. Hopefully my issue will show up today

mopho · 11-13-2007, 01:08 PM

If anyone is interested, Ron did a behind the scenes write up over at the local OC Lotus club forum

I'll post up some more photos when the magazine has been out for a bit

I bought and read this last weekend. Good article.

jasond · 11-13-2007, 01:27 PM

I'll see if I can pick it up... I always love to see awesome photos of Lotuses

Is this the first time Serebo1's Elise has been featured in a magazine? If so, all I can say is, "It's about time!"

0-60 is the worst and least useful performance stat in the industry. And it's the first one anybody talks about. Not happy to see this magazine's name.

Sweet. This is a great magazine. Very entertaining regardless of subject matter. I will go look for it today.

That flat black Elise looks really cheap...

Bavarian Motorist · 11-13-2007, 02:50 PM

Hey, you're assuming they're talking about timing a '0-60'. For all you know, they just like going from 0-60 or something. No, really, I doubt I'm right.

I had a hard time telling which was the Elise at first because of the wing on the Elise, but I finally noticed there's no hood scoop on the hard top.

Beautiful pic. What does the magazine write about? Not for this article, but in general?

This is only the second issue. It is a car mag, but more about experiences and less about technical details. They have a great writing style that expresses emotion and makes for a good read.

You said they don't test the cars and offer performance numbers, so I wondered what they do talk about.
