is this the same car i chased last night from ghazi chowk to khyabani -iqbal around 10;30pm or something?,,, nice pickup intially,, but i felt its loosing power after 80km/hr. it looks like a ferrari, from a distance at night, but it was way too small for a ferrari,, when i chased it and looked closely from rear.,, yea, i went there to petrol pump to fill some air in my car tires,, while guys in car were speeding on khyabani-iqbal.

lol,, i was wondering why my car is faster than a ferrari,,heh

@levin

Don't worry, even the engine it uses is also from Toyota...

salarzae: it doesnt have the right power for its looks.

Yeah it's the one they use in the MR-2, right?

levin (levin) 2006-05-07 09:30:00 +0500 #12

no way,, mr-2 turbo is way faster than my car, with 4th generation 3sgte.,,

this here is a little 660 cc turbo in this lotus if i am not wrong ,, if you pull a 2nd or 3rd gear in 20v,, you can easily catch this baby.

The Elise's engine contrasts sharply with some of the hefty engines in today's European supercars. The Toyota-made engine replaces the somewhat outdated Rover K-Series that has powered the Elise in Europe. The 1.8-liter, water-cooled, naturally-aspirated engine has an all-aluminum four-cylinder block with dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and an 11.5:1 compression ratio. It is placed in a mid-engine configuration, just behind the driver.

This engine is similar to the one found in the Toyota Celica GT-S, but with an updated intake system and exhaust and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) tuned specifically for Lotus (Road & Track, August, 2004). It's cranks out 190 horsepower at 7,800 rpm, producing 138 lb-ft of torque at 6,800 rpm. If you've been looking at the Ferraris and Corvettes of the world, those numbers might seem a bit low. Keep in mind that the Lotus isn't meant to be a roaring beast of a car -- it's meant to be incredibly agile.

ak9114u (ak9114u) 2006-05-07 09:38:00 +0500 #15

@ Kizzi : Thanku for clearing it up !!!! that 660 cc was a shock!!!

Oh!,,,,,well mrhot said its 660 turbo. next time i'll chk things myself,,lol
