Guess the overly optimistic speedo isn't a trait new to the Elise...

2.2L turbo and only 215hp? weak sauce. I thought it was at least 230-250hp.
Funny how the acceleration chart doesn't go all the way up to 100mph. Quote:

First, it's how much is under the power curve that matters, not just the peak. Second, back in the '80s that was doing pretty good. The "early days" of production fuel injection, and all the latest, complicated smog equipment. Modern day ECU's do a much, much better job of controlling emissions while making lots of power.
