I also have another Lotus


So you don't understand motorcycles either then?

If you prefer to be cocooned in some cushy car, that is fine, but you are missing out on half the experience. A Seven makes a Lotus Elise feel like a school bus.


Personally, I don't like the styling on this Levante version (which is built/re-engineered by RS Performance, not Caterham) and think it is a bit ridiculous to have that much power in the car when 250-275hp will see off most supercars around a track


Here is a short first drive review of the car

Yes, I don't doubt it's a great ride, just not for me. I guess I prefer 'cushy' cars like the Exige, then.

No, I don't get motorcycles either, or convertibles for that matter.

Looks like a handful

I hate the headlights. The rest seems to be pretty ridiculous - in a good way

Could there ever be a thing as being 'too light' to handle that power? That thing looks scary fast and unstable.
