Have a Lotus, can confirm.

Are you a troll or just too opinionated to realize that a $41k car with a 93 mile range IS innovative?
The i3 is not a glorified Prius! It's extremely innovative, bringing a CFRP chassis to a much lower price point than ever before. I generally don't like BMW but they did something amazing with the i3. Yes, the XL1 is amazing in other ways, but it doesn't have the potential to radically change the marketplace like the…
The i3 doesn't ask the user to change how they use their cars, other than plugging it in occasionally. The XL1 requires great sacrifices in practicality, space, number of passengers, etc. That's why the i3 is a better fit for the award.
You can actually buy the i3 in many countries and use it as a normal car.
No, that's entirely true. They don't hate creating jobs (what politician honestly wouldn't want to create jobs for their constituents?)
In for all the older generations talking crap as if the generations before them hated them any less.
Still hate it.
If it looked like, say, the Maserati Ghibli or something equally beautiful and exotic, I'd love it. This is why I have a cheap DD and a nice second car.
My car randomly stalls pulling up to lights because of that awesome Lotus quality... No less embarrassing, especially in a car that looks like that.
You know you're vastly oversimplifying the Venom, right? I'm not suggesting the level of engineering is even close between these two. It's obviously two entirely different classes of engineering. But both fit their original designs, and were engineered accordingly.
There's also the option of the next gen Mustang, which looks much nicer and will be ever closer in performance.
It's a practicality question now. If I wanted another 2 seater, the Corvette with tons of options is an incredible value. If you need back seats, the M4 is likely the sharpest tool in that price range.
Sounds like you have a great plan for it. Good luck and enjoy!
The Katana2 is an excellent kit that shouldn't destroy a stock engine for a very long time.
So far my car has only done 14k miles, all on the street, so the engine isn't being pushed for long even with a large 10 psi running through it. I just hope it lasts a few years, long enough for me to overbuild a spare engine…
I went with the Vision Function stage 2 kit. At 10 psi it's probably going to destroy the engine within the next couple years, but my Elise is a street car and extremely well maintained. We'll see.
The amount of power is immense in a car like this. It really makes it a ton of fun (no pun intended)!
Thanks... I try :)
No, it isn't the same one. Same color - Chrome Orange - but a lot of small differences as well.
This is outside of Philly, where everyone drives like an asshole. Many of my colleagues were going the other way to get to work and saw the wreck. They did say the conditions on that road would go from wet to icy almost instantly, so people were going too fast for the bad parts.
I think you're missing out on the fact that all Ferraris and Lamborghinis should catch on fire
