@NMoulana with some new cams, valves, exaust, port and polish, heads, ignition, induction, flywheel, and tranny the 2 eleven would make a bugatti look like a civic. and still weigh nothing.
This car is awesome a friend of mine has one, and he took me out in it. at about 100 mph, I had so much helmet lift my head was about to come clean off, I got a areo kit for it after I rode in his car.
I wish you were right in saying "this is what people want." You are right about the car being perfect but it is not at all what people want. The average car enthusiast, even the ones who belong to the upper class, are not willing to spend that much for a car that is basically a road legal track car. If someone wants a great handling, fast car for the same price they are well catered for with cars that actually have a boot. At the same time if i had 80 grand i would buy one. in a second
Well it is impractble like alot of unbeatble cars but if u want something that can deliver pure driveing exotement with near unbeatble performance for not that much money you'd be crazy not to take this an option gt-r worshipers brag about how well it handles and it pisses me off the gt-r is nearly 2 tons the lotus 2-11 is less than half that wieght and its just so pure i mean the key to haveing a good handleing car is makeing it light not giveing it a computer systm & driver aids like gt-r has
Purely meant for fun...but I would like if it had all the comfort options(stereo, aircon, navi...),doors,a roof (with a functional air scoop intake),and a merc 430hp engine (more power because of weight added by options), think about it, it already looks like a full size supercar...
then you may as well get a ferrari 430 scuderia. All the things you mention add weight and weight is the killer in terms of performance and handeling. everything is compromised. ...... but yeah this car is epic fun!!!!!! :D
Question: Why can't lotus put this version of the engine in the Exige S? The Exige S with 250 HP would be a serious upgrade against the stock 190HP Elise. 220HP Exige isn't all that much power. It's similar to a BMW Z4 M or M3.
supercharged ariel atom hits 60 in 2.7 seconds. This does it in like 3.8 or so I think. So straight line I'd say supercharged atom but I can't comment on any other aspect like around a track.
Err have you even watched the vid? They're talking about the Lotus 2-Eleven, not the Lotus Eleven.... the 2-Eleven is built upon the Elise Exige bonded/extruded chassis... which is far more advanced than the Atom's chassis. This has nothing to do with the original Lotus Eleven, which you speak of.
Try again chief. The 111 and 211 are built off the same bonded/extruded chassis as the original Elise (updated I'm sure). Try using google once in a while... it'll keep that nasty foot taste out of your mouth.
and is faster round a track infact it came last against the 2 eleven and the caterham r500 check out the drivers rupublic vid on the 2 eleven and caterham r500

This is exactly what I want, a light weight car with a standard engine. Not some 7000 pound super car with an equally monster engine.

wonder how it would do against an ariel atom....
dewfish 4 years ago
The Atom has 50 years worth of drive train development. It is built for modern tires. It has modern welds, bits of carbon fiber, modern shocks...
The Eleven has tiny little tubes for a frame, and a portable fire pump engine for a motor.
