More about Elise…….

Here are more pics of my good friend Jimmy’s Lotus Elise. In fact, his baby is going to be featured in the next issue of Hong Kong’s Car & Driver Magazine.

After I took this batmobile for a spin, I was stoked ….. Check out my face in the pic above.

It felt like I was in a bullet & saying that this was “fast” is an understatement. The car weighs 750kg, much lighter than a standard Lotus Elise.  It was like driving a go-cart from hell.

Jimmy found a manufacturer in China that custom molded all the body panels & internal fittings of his car.  So everything & anything that can be replaced with Carbon fiber, was replaced with Carbon fiber.

Check out next issue of HK’s Car & Driver mag for more tech details, in the mean time, click here to check out more pics on my Flickr.
