A lotus was in a crash today at the Australia day rally, I don’t know if it was a Elise or an Exige nor do I know how badly the car was damaged, but it certany was more than a scratch.

The rally went off into 2 convoys, the group it was in went north into the Lota area in Brisbane. I know a Lotus ain’t no supercar like a Lambo but it’s really upsetting to know that.

The 2 eleven in the background is so HOT! It even looks better in real life. What a car. Pity its not roadworthy in Aus.

I feel so, so sorry for people that buy a Lotus because they think it’s another Ferrari or Lambo. These cars are just for racing against each other like in the Lotus Trophy.

While the 211 is a stripped out track car the Elise and Exige are entirely practical every day cars for people who don’t really need more than two seats. They are also surprisingly cheap to run. While not cheap, the lower spec models are not particularly expensive with a starting price of $70k

My only concern is that Lotus is putting more features into the road cars.

Idiot Klink. This is a stripped-out car designed for the track, nothing like an Aston.

Lotus did do a good job with the eye candy, the car and the girls. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Exige and Elise, I know they’re wildly impractical and expensive, but they are just so crazy that you don’t care about all the impracticality.

Wonder how long it will take people to get on here to talk about this car should have options included as standard like recent topic on Aston Martin. Hot car and curvy; bit of a chick magnet. Nice colour too!
