Ivan, really enjoyed the Fifth Gear Elise S1 video. I want one...

I liked these two:
Veyron and Elise. hehehe. The Veyron seems to have a problem in corners.



and this one. hahaha! Yeah, S1 again.


Can someone tell me anything about the Purple Car in the beginning of the video? I love it? Is that an Elise or Exige or what? wow oh wow!!

What is this? It doesn't look like any Elise I have seen. Whatever it is it is beautiful and swoopy. Is it a Lotus Sport Elise of some kind? The camera is obviously focusing on it as Clarkson is talking...

It's the first generation S1 Elise. We have the second generation body style here. I like the S1's bod as well... the Dino influence is very apparent.

When I first watched the video, the sunglasses hinted Rachael from her old avatar. But when she kinda bent forward to tie her hair I didn't notice any tatoos......

Well, after reading the rest of the posts it became pretty clear who it was LOL. Nice vids.

Haha, you can see the tattoos. At least I can! They're nothing special, just something I put up quickly for some friends.

Just picking on you, I have called out more than my share of students who turn the wheel with the inside grab and don't return the hand to the wheel between shifts!!!
Great soundtrack BTW

I didn't have much time between shifts. It wasn't a.. casual drive.

Would it shock you to know I got a perfect score on my drivers test?

When Lotus announced earlier this week that its intends to bring three new models to production over the next few years, we began day-dreaming of the myriad of possibilities that may come about.

As good as the Elise and Exige are, and as good as the Europa and new Esprit hope to be, some of Lotus' more intriguing offerings were vehicles that weren't developed from the ground up by the boys in Hethel.

Stateside, the Ford Lotus Cortina has been hailed as the original sport compact. Introduced in 1963 and sold in limited numbers, the Cortina benefited from the staple Lotus tweaks, namely suspension upgrades and lightweight materials. When compared to the Lotus Carlton, however, it seemed pedestrian, at best.

The video above is a vintage episode of Top Gear, with then host, Tiff Needell driving one of the most controversial vehicles ever to be offered in Europe. The Lotus Carlton was based on the Vauxhall sedan bearing the same name and was stuffed with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter inline six, developing 377 hp and 419 ft/lbs. of torque. All that power was channeled through a six-speed manual transmission pulled from the Corvette ZR1, sent to the rear wheels through an LSD, which then catapulted the stately sedan to 60 in 5.2 seconds. All of this before we even broke into the 90s.

Since part of Lotus' plan for the future includes helping to develop vehicles for other manufactures, we hope that the standard set by the Cortina and Carlton may inspire upcoming collaborative efforts.

Two Lotus Circuit Car videos!

The first one is sadly too short:


But the second ... oh dear, this one could make you wet your pants. Zoom!
