Default Lotus

Below are quotes taken out of articles:

-Weighing in at just 1,477 lbs with 252 hp on tap at 8,000 rpm
- Peak torque of 179 pound-feet comes at a similarly high-strung 7,000 rpm.
-Zero to 60 mph takes just 3.8 seconds, while the sprint to 100 mph is over in 9.1 seconds.
-1.8 liter supercharged engine from the Exige s.
