They must be getting pretty popular around here, because I've been seeing them around quite often on my commute. This one I thought was the coolest by far though.
That guy I know has an orange one. I wonder if it was him. Skinny guy balding with a big nose?
Couldn't tell...went by me fast. If I'm not mistaken, he was Black. He's got a slick ride, I tell you that. Too small for me though...I wonder if 6 footers are comfortable in there?
It's a Lotus Exige. It took over for the departed Elise. Here's a couple pics...
Departed? The Elise is still being sold. Same motor, platform, etc. The Exige, however, weighs about 100 lbs more and is not a targa top. I believe they are supposed to be 2 differnet version of the same car.
Yet it manages to run similar quarter mile times to LS1 f-bodies... not sure why you're rolling your eyes.
Anyway... very cool cars... gotta be a blast to drive too.
Ironically, it is not designed for dragstrip duty. It is a wicked handling machine on a road course. The light weight combined with a very well designed and working suspension, it handles simply like a dream. It will carve your lunch in the twisties.
