Lotus Elise passing Lamborghini at Miller Motorsports

[derdiddo]

if you want to drive fast on a straight, buy a lambo

if you want to drive fast in corners, buy a lotus (w/o lsd)

that's it.

[soccerdude3721]

P4horror your right. The Elise way 900 killos. Which is just under 2000 lb

[p4horror]

They don't have a lot of horsepower but they're so small and light (I believe they're less that 2k lbs.) they take off like a little rocket. For a very exotic looking car it's very affordable. I'm surprised I don't see these on the roads. (Although where I live in Los Angeles, it seems no one has passion about what they drive anymore. You only see millions of Altimas, Civics; etc. I'm one of the few inhabitants of L.A. holding the torch for people who care about the cars they drive. L.A. sucks.

[wavsunlimited]

basically the elise has better handling ( so this happens with a good driver)...but in a drag it wouldnt be a race

[compmaster1337]

your proboobly not gonna try tp accelerate to 140 on a turn in your 300,000 car, the lambo driver sucked balls and the lotus driver must have been awesome

[ilikmustar34]

YEAH nick!

[PentruRasaAlba]

Hahaha, how embarrassing for Lamborghini XD

[MerlinofChaos]

That's a murcielago... lol :P

Well I reckon the driver wasn't really driving it.

[Bomchilaka]

I'm thinking the lambo driver was like What the....how can he/she pass me with that beeping lotus...

[andrewesquivel]

i rode in a lambo. so fun. i have a video of it on my account, but its only like, 30 seconds...but i still like Lotus more.

[arfurdaly1970]

I work in Pharmaceuticals not Pharmacuticals Warhead3000 !

[Warhead3000]

I am sorry if I offended you I did not mean to but get real, lighter cars wil always be quicker and you lied when you said that the lambo was a little bit heaver "by twice as much" I respect your love of Lambo's ( I prefer them to Ferraris's) but the reality is that I work in Pharmacuticals and am worth over 3 million so no matter what your 15 years of educatiuon brings - bad english I will always be better than you and richer. sorry but they are the facts. live long and prosperer.

[jayseppie]

I am worth over ten million. So I am better than you. Are you kidding? So ignorant. They are just cars.

[Warhead3000]

NO, but I do have to offer ther world other things than crap statements, I work in pharmacuticals research and have been involved in the discovery of the H Pylori bacterium (that casues stomach ulcers, which have saved so many (we are talking millions) lives. what the fuck have you done than said full of shit statements based on nothing.? twat

[Warhead3000]

Also Jayseppie why do you have an opinion if they are just cars back it up with facts than a comment bassed on your own attitude which is based on what? nothing.

[jayseppie]

You have a lot of anger inside you. I hope things get better for you.

[Warhead3000]

Don't worry Jayseppie, I am not angry I just dislike statments that are made for the sake of them without even backing them up with facts or even a rational. Plus persoanlly things are great for me so don't lose any sleep over it.

[ronnysoeberg]

Hey Warhead3k, you come off as the biggest douchebag I've seen all week. I say all week cause there are quite a few douchebags like you out there, so you don't really even rank that high.

I award you [The Run Of The Mill - Full Of Myself - Douchebag Award]

Hang it on your mantlepiece!

[Spartan890]

Do u want a medal? and learn how to spell prosper

[Warhead3000]

Think what you like you funk dipshit I have been involved in the pharma industry for over 14 years so fuck you twice you utter wanker. Mispelling somtimes is called a typo everyone does them (plus it does not need any brains to use a dictionary and try to correct people after they have written text), we are not machines. Plus I 'm rich and living have a great life, whilst you will always be a utter fucking cunt so go fuck up and die soon, very soon

[Warhead3000]

Also you fucking retard, I love fast cars because I drive them and own them which is why I commented on this clip. Youre a fucking dick because you just want to take the piss out of people without any technical comment on the clip which just shows you for who you are a complete waste of sperm and space, so just fuck off and troll somewhere else. Funny I love the American's because I spend a lot of my time (New Jersey, home to pharma) but you are fucking letting your country down motherfucker

[Sahadi420]

dude, no one believes a fucking thing coming out of your lyin faggot ass. Don't get all huffy puffy cause your a liar and EVERYBODY is callin you out. Don't hide behind the "typo" line. You spelled the same word wrong, twice, the same way. Thats not a typo, that is you not having a fuckin clue cause your an idiot. I love how you call it pharma now cause your afraid you will spell it wrong again!!! Seriously dude, if you were in my shoes, would you think your lying??? Yes, you would.

[Warhead3000]

No one, sorry only you, you fucking twat, and to be honest I have much better things than prove myself to a wanker and homo like you. Also work in the industry and then know what to call it cunt, before trying to make judgements you fucking moron (do some research) or read some books that spell out life for you before commenting. I cant be bothered to reply anymore especially when you do not comment on the video so go away and die you utter cunt shit moron.

[Sahadi420]

Well i dont work in "the industry" but I know HOW TO SPELL IT, unlike you. And I dated a girl who worked for merck, and never ONCE heard her say she was in "pharma" you lyin sack of shit. Enlighten me, whats your work email address, what region do you work in, what FUCKING COMPANY DO YOU WORK FOR. What a looser in life you must be to be so caught redhanded being a fucking liar and all you can do is try to insult me. Are you so busy lying that you dont notice I AM COMMENTING ON THE VIDEO MORON

[lillenkill]

haha dude... You ACT like a 6year old kid whit good spelling.. hahaha

[Sahadi420]

Oh yea, and your just as smart "whit" your good spelling. Sorry, I couldn't help calling out someone claiming they're in an industry they can't even spell!!

[n18n18]

lotus exige as the highest power/weight ratio in the world....its not only about horsepower...its about power/weight , handling, responds....stupid ppl all they think about is horse power.....skilless and knowlageless ppl...

[zelibober]

Tell me start guy that Lotus will bit the Best of Lambos and make me leaf

[Warhead3000]

Sorry Zelilbober but you are talking utter crap and you should stick to "FACTS" you state that the Lambo weighs a little bit more than the Elise let's look at that

Lambo Mycelargo weighs 1650kg and max power 570bhp = power to weight 351per ton (over 2 time as much as the elise)

Elise MK2 r weighs 800kg and max power 190bhp=power to weight =268

the fact that the lotus will corner quicker due to the lighter weight, why the fuck do you think that F1 cars are so light. stop flag waving

[mike52307]

i dont want to get into this but i couldnt help it LOL "MYCELARGO" LOL

[Warhead3000]

So the Lambo weighs twice as much not "a little bit more" as you state. let's be honest your english is rubbish so you are most likley Italian which means no what facts are presented you will maintain that you Italian car is better what a load of crap. AS mentioned before F1 cars are so light becasue of better responses and quicker cornering, they don't go the route of very heavy but powerful cars. check out the top gear lap times and you will see a Zonda is quciker than a Veryon.

[zelibober]

you are totally don't know what you talking about :) you want facts here is facts for you

watch?v=buwSxnFZH-g

They do it on track and every supercar pas this Elise cus 190 horses can not be competitive with 640 (you show wrong horses).

[Warhead3000]

first try english, then look at facts you muppet, trucks can boast over 600 BHP but get passed by lighter quicker cars. stop talking crap and refering other rubbish on youtube, take the whole tap into consideration not a passing move, why do you think again that racing are so light answer that one.. and not weigh 1.7 tons. get a life and go back to school because it seems you need it

[zelibober]

If you are arguing with an idiot then he's probably doing the same :)

I don't get no profit of this conversations so lets finish it. You think Elise will win ok no problem good for you, but i think different. Cus i don't wont this conversation go ferder to swearing on each other and else.

Buy the way English its my third language what about you???

I spend 15+ years in school and universities i am even now in one so don't worry I'll live better then you for sure :)

[lotus1boy4life]

owned in the face

[martycochrane]

haha i wouldnt be too happy if i was the lambo driver

[silntinsnty]

on a straight lambo definitely has the edge over a lotus, but around the corners, the lotus is flawless.

[zelibober]

Probably NO. Lambo is All wheel drive so it will kill Elise on any track strait or corners. It just didn't race in Vid.

[n18n18]

you have very limited experience with cars...a lotus can own that lambo anytime in a track...if its a Super Leggera.....maybe lambo can win...but not the muchi for sure

[zelibober]

n18n18 - My rfiend Superlegera its Galardo and in video we got Morcielago the fastest from Lamborghini. You have no idea of what you saing if 200 something horses Lotus can win with 400+ horses Lambo Galardo SupLeg or 600+ horses Lambo Morcielago. So naive

[godverdepilukus]

lol a lotus would pull a lambo off on a track anyday... the lotus power to weight ratio is better thn the lambo which results in better performance... a lambo might cost more... but doesnt necessarily mean its better..

[zelibober]

Man you are funny, lambo weight lil bit more then lotus but it got three times more power, more speed, its wider and got better handling. It cost more then lotus not because they said so, because it is a great piece of work. Don't be funny, Lotus is a good car but its not even close to Lambo Morcielago. Lambo do theire car to be best on track not on drag so lotus out of the class

[godverdepilukus]

dude a lotus would outrun the lambo on a twisty track no problem... if its mainly straights it would win as the lambo has a higher top... but lambo is really overpriced just because of its name.... look at the vettes nowadays... cheap and they are great rivals for things as the lambo... theyr overpriced.. and there not made 4 circuits as much as lotus or ferrari

[zelibober]

no bro, Vette got 600horses to be like Lambo, if Vette was with middle engine rear drive it would cost then over 200K to cus of expensive technology. But any way i choose to stay on my point cus i use to drive Lambo and feel like it much better then Elise.

[joshAheathfield]

um.... no, try comparing the specs

[MakuthePOtHead]

either the lambo driver wasnt in a hurry or he isa complete driving disaster

[blablabla983]

guys thats not a ferrari.... its a pickup truck! dont u guys know anything?! jeeeez. noobs !

[Colton9414]

if you had that much of an expensive car i dout you would push eaither lol

[bilbobutter]

U have to remember that this is open track day, you can't touch cars, go off track, you have to respect the other drivers etc. The guy with the Lambo was just playing safe.

[SiteCop]

What The fuck?? As much as i love lotus but wow, haha lambo was being a pussy. What a cunt.

[dideldidudadada]

lambo didnt push

[baxtercunningham]

Ya... you'd have to be a VERY good drive to pass a lamborghini in a Lotus! lol

[ldpldsldv]

not really... the lotus is not such a bad car...

the acceleration is extrem...

but lambo rulez...

[borderlands4]

i have to say i like lotus' better even though lambos are way faster, but like you said the accel is incredible and plus they look cooler :D

[jcadlols]

@borderlands4 Not difficult to make a lotus way faster than a lamborghini. Drop a k20 in the back, supercharge or turbocharge it... bye bye lambo. ;)

[foxracingobsessed114]

@jcadlols , i agree with the k20, my friend has on in his '07 civic, it was supercharged or turbo, or maybe both. its street legal racecar and can EASILY get to 200 mph. thing has so much power it cant handle it, crazy shit lmao so if i ever get a lotus, thats what ima do(:

[bichuco007]

El menor peso del Lotus, a pesar de su menor potencia en comparación a la del Lamborghini, le ofrece la posibilidad de un paso por curva a una velocidad mayor. Aparte de que tiene menos 'inercias'. En el mundo de la competición la mayor ventaja no es la disponer de una gran potencia, sino tener un peso contenido (entre otras, claro). Un Exige GT3 le hubiera dado una pasada detrás de otra. Y frente al Ariel Atom de 300 CV... No hubiera tenido oportunidad.

[bichuco007]

Además, un coche ligero como el Lotus, a la hora de llegar a una curva y frenar, lo hará mucho más tarde a diferencia del Lambo u otros coches más pesados. Lo que le da la ventaja de recuperar (cuando los demás están frenando) la distancia perdida y hacer así mismo una trazada más cerrada, la cual le da la posibilidad de adelantar por dentro (como hemos visto) y no tener que abrirse mucho (menos inercias) además de acelerar, a la salida de la curva, mucho antes que el resto.

[ThatOneKidThatSkis]

@baxtercunningham really dude, lotus's have better handling by a long shot than a lambo, and about the same accelaration, so its close coming out of a corner

[tigertic1]

@ThatOneKidThatSkis You think a Elise can out accelerate or even keep up with a Murcielago? One tops out at 160 mph the other is 200+mph car. The lambo driver was barely giving his car throttle, tahat v12 under full power is very loud.

[ThatOneKidThatSkis]

@tigertic1 Are you serious, Im talking acceleration, top speed honestly doesnt mean shit in this situation

[tigertic1]

@ThatOneKidThatSkis Think about it, an elise does not have the power to weight ratio of an atom. An elise does not have better acceleration than a Ferrari 355 or Corvette C5 Z06, against a 580 horsepower Murcielago it will get walked everytime.

[carl206rc]

@tigertic1 even a stock lancer evo can beat a murcielago on track because the lambo weights 1800kg

that's too much weigh for a supersport car

[tigertic1]

@carl206rc Only on Gran Turismo, people that say they can't handle because they have never been in one and just repeat things they hear. That being said the murcielago platform is more of a straight line roller coaster than a track car but it is a very stable car, with it's second evolution being an even more stable supercar.

[carl206rc]

@tigertic1 check on youtube topgear murcielago vs evolution and you will open your eyes, murcielago is only look, even the lambo gallardo is faster on track with no long straights

[tigertic1]

@carl206rc Top gear is a reality tv show with cars, hell on that show somehow they only managed to get top speeds of under 190mph for a Zonda and Koenigsegg while they got an LP 640 to 207 in the rain on that same 1.5 mile stretch, lol.

[scottydangerous]

Lambo wasn't pushing it at all...

[bubutay]

it would have been a different story ?..maybe...but it would have been a different story..if UR gallardo...is getting owned by lotus EXIGE ;)

with lotus exige...u will beat lambo porsche etc. m3 ? alle these cars have no chance (:

[kjz28]

ON a road course the Lotus would beat that lambo. That lambo is a straight line performer. IF it was a Gallardo it would have been a different story.

[vinbon63]

i dont reall think the lambo was giving it, sorry, but sick car northeless.

[maxawong]

Unbelivable, but it's awesome... love'n it

[KooLaidblue]

That is one quick lil elise on that straight away

[NullnV01d]

I'm sure the pass didn't last long ;) Nice pass though.

[tsmith616]

owned.
