I'm glad they got rid of the god awful inboard lights. The front end looks much cleaner. Wonder if it will trickle down to the non-strictly track versions.

@FrankRizzo: "The reviewer stated that by the end of his weekend with the car he had "a handful of interior bits that had fallen off"."

Ha, now I know it's fake -- the Lotus Elise only has a couple of interior bits anyways, and if they all fell off, that'd include the steering wheel. Which would probably be a pretty negative impact on the review, I'd say.

My favorite part of this article is the line "A product of Lotus Sport, Lotus's performance arm." That's like saying McDonald's has a "fast food arm".

Let us not forget Vickie Henderson's quote from Fifth Gear: Lotus stands for "Loads of trouble usually serious". I'm also reminded of a recent review of the US version of the Elise. The reviewer stated that by the end of his weekend with the car he had "a handful of interior bits that had fallen off".

I understand that after a few laps on the track that all that could be forgiven, but if the car has to leave the track "on the hook" what good is it?

I love it! It's finally given some 21st century styling to the Exige, which always (to me) had a styled-in-the-90s look.

But I find it odd that it would be artificially-limited to 160mph...
