Oh man that looks so badass with the block hanging out the back skirt with the Lotus logo on it.

To anyone the wiser, that says "Ferrari 360CS who?"

Wow , that's nuts. But I'm not sure if that little chassis can handle that much power, I think it's more suited for a smaller engine.

yeah, the picture of a taffy pulling machine comes to mind. This is old news though, isn't it? Hasn't this been posted here before?

isn't the elise a transverse powertrain (like a fwd in the back) vs this one being a longitudinal (like a rwd with no propshaft)?

Ya the Elise is normally transverse. Audi engines are big though, and in such a small car I can see the need to re-engineer a few things.

414hp in that little thing is like putting a Chevy 350 on a go kart.
