That car is simply unbelievable. It looks absolutely scary. I'd be terrified to hit the throttle in that at 65mph.

Niceee! That yellow one is a lot nicer looking than the red one my ex bf raced against. I was trying to find what exact company makes it but I couldn't find it. Looks like a Lotus so i'm assuming its a BA Lotus

Harnessing this power is a chassis that is a far cry from the Lotus Elise from which it'* derived.
So its derived from a lotus but not actually built on a car currently available
