Speedster Photosession - LotusTalk

JawZ · 12-28-2008, 03:48 AM

Here are some photos of a Speedster (also known as the vx220 and the type116) from a photosession this summer in Gothenburg, Sweden. The front needs to be lowered a bit since fitting 16" wheels on the front but havn't got round to fitting öhlins yet

Hej Jens,
Snygg bil och mycket bra bilder

My brother live in Karlstad and he has a silver Speedster. I drove it last summer, very nice car, just a litle longer wheelbase than my Elise.

Looks very nive in Gul as well

Tack Mats

I have a friend in Karlstad with a white Speedster with a Saab turbo engine in it and many aerodynamic tweaks. It's really really fast

actually one of the fastest street-legal cars at the Emmaboda Superstage track.

Maybe they know eachother

swede · 12-28-2008, 01:31 PM

I will call my brother tomorrow and ask him, smakk town so it is possible.

Love the car. But, you should get lighter wheels. Those are the heaviest wheels available. You will easily feel the difference with light weight wheels. Ohlins are the best too!

texige · 12-28-2008, 02:37 PM

I like the exhaust.

Some photos from a recent trackday in Sweden

That thing is gorgeous! I wish they sold them here in the US.

I really like the angular styling treatment this car gets, as compared to the more rounded elise/exige. Given a choice, I'd take one like this. And JawZ - that looks like a really fun track, with just enough walls to excercise the sphincter.

Kevin M · 05-11-2009, 03:16 PM

Am I the only one that thinks it looks like someone mated an Elise with a Pontiac? Gross.

I agree, pretty fugly. That interior brace looks like it was built in a shop class.

badzy · 05-14-2009, 10:11 AM

Beautiful ride! I saw an orange one of those on a train ride last year from Prague to Austria. I was pointing and yelling to my wife like a little kid, but she didn't get why I was so excited. They look like angular (almost robotic) cousins of the Elise.
