Toyota, do not listen to the naysayers. Listen to me. You have crafted a true supercar; for that I salute you. Above a certain level of the fantastic, the differences are academic. 550 hp is a poor, soulless definition of the potential to make vision blur and thump open the valves of the heart on each beat.
But mere control over this potential pales compared to a connection that could transfer even a taste of this energy through our fingertips. We do not want command and obedience, we want to capture the scream of 9000RPM with every sense and be able to call it back at any time.
Any car is ultimately defined by the experience. You have applied this lesson well in your legendary dealership experience. Give us the same focus and intensity, give us passion in your bread and butter, day to day, and we will adore you.

The Tesla Roadster can make a sprint to 62 MPH in 3.9 seconds, and they've produced over 900 cars.
carbon fibre is used extensively to compliment the exterior theme
("Exterior theme, you look marvellous" - Lotus means "complement"). The Tesla Roadster is the cheapest car with all carbon fiber panels, and looks better.
$75,000 is a lot cheaper than $109,000, but Lotus special editions make the Tesla seem almost reasonable as a sports car. Go USA! #lotusexigescura

Both Caterham and Westfield offer a lowered floor option. #caterham

My old normally aspirated Superlight would turn 3.9 0-60 times while sounding like ripping silk. Got a problem with that?
I have driven a turbo-Miata'd SV (thanks, Skip!) and it is very fast as well, but I found the turbo spool and wastegate noise to be distracting compared to the above.
The new old Seven will have Webers, original to the car. #caterham

google Caterham vs. [INSERT ANY FAST CAR YOU WANT HERE], and there are plenty of good videos. Vs 911 Turbo or GT3 or something on 'Ring is pretty good. #caterham

I know that it's partially staged for TV, but a good David vs. Goliath illustration. #caterham

The CSR is based on the SV (widebody) model of the Seven, and has an inboard front suspension.
I guess they make this 2.0 liter version for the folks that don't want to get the 2.3 liter Duratec.
I personally would just get the R300. #caterham

In my ideal world, I would love nothing more than a final-year 1953 Indian Chief, a 57 GMC 1/2 ton, and a Caterham.
The realities of age, family, work, and finances, however have left me with a Saturn.
If you'll excuse me, I think I'm undergoing a pre-mid-life crisis crisis. #caterham

Excellent choices sir, I tip my driving cap to you. #caterham

TBH, though, it would be interesting to see when this car outperforms Ferraris. IF it does. #lexuslfa
