Those seats like those old wool pants everyone used to wear. Itchy as all h$ll. Are those tires "thicker" than stock elise tires? I wonder if that also increases full efficiency? Solar panels on the hard top. Interesting.

Lotus is bringing back the 70's, wool pants and then when you take the hard top off, the electrics don't work, just like in the Lucas days. (I hope all I got all the references correct).
