[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 1025, member: 1026"] For those of us who appreciate Lotus cars like the Elise, may want to know that a special Lotus eXige Sport was created for a "South East Asian" client!. It is race ready with roll-cage. Here are some high-lights:- Slightly modified Elise chassis and body panels. Created using low-temp CF curing process. Complete car looks like a sporty Elise or Exige.- Vaxhall Vectra 3 litre V6 engine (narrow angle) generaling 400HP at 8250 rpm, 405 Nm torque. (uncannily like the Renault F1 engine)- Hewland sequential 6speed tranny back mounted at the rear diff. (This probably cost a fortune!!!)- 6-point racing harness, FIA spec roll-cage, built-in airjacks, single nut mag wheels.- Motec ECU with Stac tach and racing spec circuit breakers (no fuse box!).I had pictures from Evo magaine (premier Philippine edition). Looks really sharp.Now, the speculation comes. Who is the South East Asian buyer/owner ?.It is race spec, so it will be intended for a race event, yeah!.My speculation is Malaysian owner and to be used in Merdeka Cup in Aug31!!!. Could it be Alex Yoong ?. I think likely or his or similar team. For those who has seen Merdeka Cup coverage last year, there are serious cars like Porsche GT2, Radical SR2, and plenty of Elises.This one, if it were for the Cup would be the one to watch this year!.Gross weight : 820 kg, which is 478 HP per tonne!!!
