You have got to be kidding me. I wonder what happened?

I can beat that!

Yes, it's an Elise. I got the pick from www.infernoelise.com. I guess Aluminum burns at a low enough temperature that car fires will consume the whole thing.

No smoking in my car.

at least that picture in the link shows that rollbar everyone was looking for

black wheels !

I wonder if they were always that way

 

[KuroiSport]

Yeah, wreckedexotics turned my stomach the first time I looked at it. Look at a few pics before a spirited drive on public roads to calm you down.

Other than the fires, It looks like the driver/passenger cocpit stays intact in all of the wrecks shown in the Elise category.

There is a silver lining in every cloud.

That first one started out looking like this.....

Love the blacked-out headlights, cause you know, the Elise headlights are just too bright for me.

Regarding the headlights....

The S1 cars brought in by Lotus USA were "required" to have blacked out headlight covers as a further measure to show that the cars were not intended for street use.

For a time I had clear covers on my car, but I like the look of the blacked out covers so I put them back on. Since I don't participate in 24 hour endurance racing, my car will never be driven at night and therefore, I don't need my headlights.

Sometimes when loading and unloading the car from the trailer I use my driving lights to see where I'm going.

Somebody painted the car and then put the car in a paint oven to dry it.

Just kidding but I can't wait for the first idiot who tries.

I thought that one was a 340R?

The website says it is an Elise Sport 160, but I think I know the 340R that you're talking about. Similar pile of dirty ash and wheels.
