probably but not very effective. when lotus locates a one inch tall test driver, they'll probably have to modify the deisgn.

Good to see that Russell can still pull off an amazing design. Very Lotus. The renderings behind the model look like Crijins' style though.

muttpep · 10-30-2007, 10:33 PM

Yuck, don't like the back wheel wells from the second angle. Imagine the rock chips on those babies!!

(watch Zoolander and clue in)

And I thought the Elise was hard to get into. Lotus just keeps getting better and better don't they?

Where's the cup holders?

Webwire says it was Steven Crijns that designed it. Definitly his design influence if its not all him.

The reason I liked the design of the Elise in the first place was because it looked like a Hot Wheel.

Sign me up. I'll take one!

The real question is where do I get one of those 1/5 scale models!

shay2nak · 11-01-2007, 09:02 PM

wow the model is awesome in the 2nd pic!

JimK · 11-02-2007, 06:30 AM
