My Lotus Elise Exige Honda i-vtec K20

[dombou70]

@rogierjansen. It seems he is taking very odd lines through certain corners. The GT3 is late apexing like he should.

[rogierjansen]

Gt3 driver is more experienced and playing around. Elise driver should crush the gt3 in the cornered part of the circuit but lacked. Great fun though driving like this, but gearbox will be crushed with high revving downshifts like this...

[Godzillaismybitch]

He looks like he's got about 0.5-1.0 seconds on you by the end of the main straight, and it's all gone by turn 3. rofl. amazing car man, nice driving :D

[slckb0y]

my gosh he's butt raping that porsche in ever turn :x i already got the K20, need a exige frame now, WITH A SUPERCHARGER :P

[Rockit181]

Runnin down GT3s!!

[hondamueller]

nice battle! your lotus is awesome!

[son2forain]

light is right :p

[HeangKoing]

Great driving guys! Very impressive!

[MrsShadowBroker]

Dude, you should add vs GT3 to the title, you'd get a ton more views.

[sconfumberto]

Complimenti Celima!

[mattfinn]

Holy shitballs!



[654321yhtaeD]

i was like thats it? then i say the GT3..... thin it was like HOLY sh*t!!! and the driver in the GT3 has some skillz~!!! and so dont you mate

[antrax925]

Lotus was pushing the Porsche in the coners and then Lotus past him at the first opportunity , but then on the straight Porsche flew past Lotus like hi was stand still and that means Lotus had no chance , still Lotus guy put loads of pressure on Porsche and hold the fight pretty well!!!! Respect to Lotus driver and thanks to Porsche guy too for entertaining !!!

[moonraker09]

very nice driving skill. Would love to drive such a nicely built car!

[ribak1983]

uber driver,good job man k20 ftw

[andredc16]

window cracks at 4:06

[inakay99]

this is why I love K20. If you add a supercharger on it, I think that Porsche will eat dust.

[gnolhsobners]

Yellow GT3 probably thinks he is good, let's see him keep up,with you in front in the corners,, not gona happen.

[notisgt67r]

Fantastic car and fantastic driving for Lotus Elise and for the driver, Porshe had only power at straights nothing else

[rokjoke]

Looks to me like the Porsche is hitting better apexes before the straights (?)

[JoaoBasso10]

The Porsche driver was playing ruf...

[DJNJWATTS]

Awesome video,Awesome driving, If you had your six gear ratio lowered, there is no way the GT3 would pass you on the straights then!!

[ribak1983]

uber driver on k20! A+

[karkass4]

thats all about a dumbass in yellow Porsche

[DrBrainPop]

Voglio diventare bravo così anche io quando sarò grande! =')

[claudiovtec]

Grande guida e ottimo motore x la tua elise!!!!!

[ampoie]

you pretty much out-cornered that GT3!

[webboist]

Lotus as usual better on the corners you can't beat this car for handling. Porch faster on straights

[siba217]

Is that feeling that you just cant get away...

[rowler21]

Great battle, on the edge of my seat screamin for the porsch to die for 9.20mins!!! Great driving!!

[siba217]

kill the damn Porsh!

[starutube]

la dimostrazione che senza manico... anche una porsche con cavalli e tant'altro suda a freddo!

[phantom240]

@Audiosurfsup

I agree 100%. The H22 is the manly man of Honda four bangers.

[ItsRyanStudios]

what is the 0 to 60 time, and top speed with the k20 engine? thanks

[secchienafta]

Questa ripresa è una vera bomba. Il sound è fenomenale e la battaglia è sensazionale, avvincente. Confesso che quando lei ha superato la GT3 ho esultato. Non che c'è l'abbia con le Porsche anzi, m'è venuto di istinto. Complimenti per il manico e per il mezzo. Le Lotus sono delle grandi auto. Hanno il DNA di Chapman.

Ancora complimenti. Ciao.

[abnormalmindset]

nice battle!

[Theuf28]

Nice video, you cant pass it, but it cant rid of you hehe Honda rules.

[scanline580]

really! thanks for the comment

[scanline580]

rofLopolous @scanline580 ok mr. armchair driver.

I race regularly against porsches

[rofLopolous]

@scanline580 sure. trying to beat them off the lights in ur family car is not the same.

[ohnoes300c]

Guy in lotus is a sux driver. Why would you tailgate a guy that has more pulling power. 1 Reason...fear that cant keep the pace up. Its easier to follow someone than to set the pace. He needed to fall back let the Porsche take his bad driving lines, then look for an opening as he exits the corner faster than the GT3. Then let the GT3 get stuck behind all the traffic behind to buy him time on the straight while he gains even more time after more laps. Lotus Driver Choked.

[rofLopolous]

@ohnoes300c you miss the point. you fail. the vid shows how much better the lotus/k20 is at corners than the porsche, and that in the straights where the porsche has more power, it wins.the lotus driver tried to take the lead, but when the straightaway came up, the porsche took it back. so STFU if you dont know what ur talking about. peace.

[ohnoes300c]

@rofLopolous no the driver is fail. Why the fuk would you tailgate the porsche if your faster into and out of the corners? All you do is gimp yourself by following his lead. Fail driver. Everyone knows a lotus can handle corners, everyone knows how kick ass K20s are and watching this vid, everyone knows this driver is fail.

[inakay99]

@ohnoes300c

2 liter 4 cylinder engine IS NOT EQUAL to 6 cylinder TURBOCHARGED engine

[ohnoes300c]

@inakay99 Are you going to be the first honda lover to admit theres no replacement for displacement?

[poop4256]

@inakay99 well it does in this video

[dude2106]

@ohnoes300c He do try to overtake overtake a lot of times, but the porsche is just faster on the straights and yes you can see how the porsche driver always goes wider through the corners, but it's just not enough. You can't take some random line into every corner to overtake, because then you will loose a hell of a lot of time and then you will never be able to overtake.

[TheMorgs202]

That's some awsome driving from both cars!

[wideopen704]

another thing people are forgetting is that Honda K-Series gearboxes are tremendous, MUCH better than Toyota

[TFSmash]

put a turbo on that k20 and the gt3 is done

for a quarter of the price :]

[91DAintegraB20]

@TFSmash or a rotrex SC :)

[scanline580]

The lad driving the elise hasnt got a clue, he could get round that porsche easily if was later breaking and stopped changing down gears too early, what a cock

[rofLopolous]

@scanline580 ok mr. armchair driver.

[triptastic82]

nel sorpasso al GT3 ho esultato!!! :D

gran bel video!

in quanto giri cn la lotus senza "tappo" davanti? :)

[kokujine]

very nice battle.

nice drive as well.

it is more complicate to push a gt3 at its limit than a lotus and the driver makes a bit big difference.

what a combo k20, lotus and a driver.

Brillant!!!

[citi0rhythm]

the Porsche driver have no track manner whatsoever.....

[ybl8gok]

damn gt3 sounds like the hand of god .. nice vid k20 ftmfw

[darkhorus80000]

Heureusement pour la porsche qui y'a la ligne droite ...love honda

[tommyMR2]

Nice driving! Nice car too

[rbsmontemor]

Perfect driving and perfect car!

[HAIONSTRESS]

awesome driving

[earthstick]

If lotus had used this engine instead of the Toyota their car would have been a serious giant killer. What a missed opportunity.

[seroyer2]

Honda makes the best I-4's in the world no one a touch them (Period). when it comes to small displacement, big power. I really wish they would make a V8 sports car the engine would be a masterpiece.

[natable1]

hahah Honda i-V8

[Janusha]

@earthstick

They ended up with the Toyota engine because it was already emissions approved for the american market. A market Lotus was desperately trying to get into as soon as they possibly could.

[Dart00Z]

lotus + honda = win

[HacK500]

damn yellow porsche... what a moron

[iansojdm]

superb driving! and k20 ftw

[tdroesch]

nice split at the NSX, a-la michael and mika at spa 2000? Well, not quite but we can dream can't we? :)

[Dajirushi]

E bravo celima..

[375civic]

trasformala turbo e vedi che non ce auto che puo starti dietro!

[stivnico]

In allungo la porche gt3 ti lascia dietro XD però cazzo nel tracciato gli fai le scarpe!!!Bella lì..

[larrieun]

So great Celimat to see yur drives and battle

again ! again ! again !

[Kirbynessness]

FUCKING PORSCHES

[crazyhugs]

sounds like a beast

[pepposole]

fucking gt3... levati dal cazzo

[k20HEAD]

0:43 need for speed no2

[cdaviesaz]

Fantastic! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time (rooting for the Lotus).

[tuvok79]

High revving Honda engines sound like motorcycle engines. Makes sense since Honda started out as a Motorcycle company, and it still sounds like them to this day. I love their indestructible K Series engines, the car body will be long gone and rusted before that engine will die.

[ballance1991]

doubt it as the body's made of glass fibre :D

[bradley081]

Yeah however the K-series is a Rover engine designe for the MG. Most advanced version found in the MG TF160 (like mine:) and the Lotus Elise 159.

Yes it is a hell of an engine!

[mil6es]

huh? the Rover K-Series engines are poo

[toniorv78]

fucking 911! Is fast!

[IlyaSpez]

Bellissimo Video.. Mi ricordo ancora La prima volta che ti avevo visto a varano.. con la Esse Grigga!!

[NeVeN213]

driver > car

[jikorenjya0217]

Good.I hope this car beat that 911.

[louiek20]

NICE BATTLE , i like the part on 7:20 when they went heads up greate race i enjoyed it ... theres nothing like the rumble of a k20 type r

[Flatty013]

c'est surprenant et fantastique a la fois !!!!!!!

[ek4vtec]

great video!Nice driving!

[Fckmller]

Questa macchina è stupenda, il suono e le prestazioni sono di uccidere! congratulazioni!

[yoshidoshi]

VTEC K20 POWAA + GM glued-chassis = KICK ASS 4 cylinders

[metaljar02]

at min. 8:07 I thought It was a van lol

[Briskturtle]

Frustrating to watch, but think how the driver felt. "Almost there!" "Nope"

[steamedturtle]

At 6:25 I cheered. At 6:57 I booed.

Brilliant driving, sir.

[MADMattDieselpower]

should of taken him out

[simonyzer]

dude, you're way too kind with that prick :P

But that's some good driving and awesome engine swap you did though :) That baby sounds nasty!

[metaljar02]

was it a lotus with a k20 swap?

[yoshidoshi]

k20 FOREVER

[whitedragonjack]

FRUSTRATING TO WATCH!!!!

[s2kadz]

I agree! The GT3 should be far behind the Lotus if he played fair and stopped holding the him up on the straights!

[whitedragonjack]

lol, GT3 couldn't drive to save his hide. HORRIBLE line.

[LitoNBAShorty]

1st the porsche driver sucks big time

2nd the Elise has a k20 engine :P:P:P

[jackal2513]

don't bother turning up to any trackdays in the UK ... neither of you would last 5 mins.

[DrivenMind]

I bet the GT3 driver thought he was getting away every time he hit the straight.

K20 in an Elise is an awesome idea. Put some individual throttle bodies on that thing and you'll never have to screw with it again.

[B4tt]

A V-Tec engine ...... in an Elise ..... i seriously have to rethink my whole life to handle such an awesome combination.

[ozmo69]

Porsche driver is pissing me off.

[risquexp0sur3]

wow that Porsche driver is a DICK!! soo many blocking and cutting offs.

[gd3gt]

Porsche get outa way!!

[svtcobra271]

Swap the porsche driver with lotus driver and the original Porsche driver would get his balls ripped off.

[flyingrape]

what?

[scorpio1066]

dog fight - love it

[sunson2004]

thats impressive!

[CANAMFORD]

hey just wondering.. whats the K20? i know the i-vtec is the honda engine but what is the K20?

[dumkopf]

4 cylinder 2 liters 240 hp in it's most potent form. Redlines at about 8000 RPM. In the current Civic Type-R and DC5 Integra Type-R

[CANAMFORD]

DAMN that porche sure didnt want the elise to pass eh?

[hoodedwonder]

Listen to that vtec scream.  Lotus's should come out standard with that engine

[mazzo99]

Awesome video!. Thanks for posting.

[optfree]

much better lines than the GT3,faster car than yours,but slower driver than you!

Bravo!

[yellowkahuna]

Totally. The Elise dude is one hell of a driver. The Porsche has poor track manners.

[colinsubaru]

Musica per le orecchie!!!!

[bizarrezedy]

good run

[mathewtsab]

im speechless, two words, SIMPLY INCREDIBLE...

[elfgixxer]

that looks like so much fun with some pretty expensive toys.

[GurgenDzya]

is the engine modified at all? you could get a bit more oomph to lay waste to those pesky porsches on straights.

[turbodsm7]

you sir, can drive.

[kdawghomie]

that gt3 had some impressive straightline speed... after you passed him he came outta nowhere to pass you back on the straightaway. Very nice ride though... i wish i could see a pic of your ride from the outside =D

[debonair1234]

thats a very impressive car u have there. can u imagine what it would be like if it had the 300hp supercharged kit

[audigod]

id like to know wat the fuck a lotus elise exige is..... its one or the other lol

[ToraxXxBS]

The Driving Car....with the Camera is the Lotus

[ajcstunna]

no its like the race version, like m-series to bmw, like type r to honda... must i go on?

[PernellDD]

good driver and very nice car aswell...

[raidacaipo]

turbo charge that k20a then it will be a fair match.. that elise woulda smoked him.. hes keepin up on the cornerings

[aznlonewuff]

i'd supercharge it and shorten all my gears but the 6th "higher top speed" and BAM!!! game over

[tokyosmash]

The guy in the GT3 was following the proper race line, I wouldnt sell a near 400hp boxer short...

[raidacaipo]

if it wasnt for lack of horsepower that elise woulda left him years ago... its quicker on the turns also..

[itr835]

Way to go! Great way to stick it to a Much more powerful Porsche, Hahhaha!!! Great Job carrying HIGH CORNER SPEEDS to keep the Porsche at Bay!!!

[mgbond]

Great drive, got to love the elise Honda.

What I will say though is if that was a track day those guys should have more respect for others. Don't know the rules over there but overtaking on both sides bullying people out of the way.... not nice

[triggerfingas]

nice run ma dood keep it up

[tpoulton001]

Sweet driving dude!

[lumenz]

Great driving, clean lines.

[TheEgo1nz]

la grandiosa pta! como brama el maldito k20a :adorar: HONDA! cierto en una chassis d 700kg pero aun asi le quedo mejor que el 2zz-ge

[travman1979]

That was awesome!! I own a K20 and it makes me proud. That is great to see an all motor 4 cylinder holding ground with a car of that caliber.

[selamsize]

but porsche car bloke the lotus .this is not fair race

[Soffex]

Wow, i can't stand watching you get blocked by the Porsche, aggrivates even me.

[chiQiboy]

Defo an N/A honda by the sounds of it,no way the porker would be pulling away on the straights if he bolted on the S/C

[TonyC1968]

Good clean fun, good driving both. Track days in Italy look a real blast. Health & Safety wouldn't stand for this in UK.

[giovagt]

grande celima, fantastico 'sto video!!!!!!

[glockpoppin]

nice run,clean driving on both parts.

[eugenekim87]

stupid lotus and their corporate ties with Toyota, WORTHLESS!

HONDA RULES!!!nice car, awesome driving,

simply fantastico

[Tommy89vik]

Coppia vincente il peso del helise con un motore come il k20...in curva è un mostro!!!e fa un rumore stupendo..vtec the best!!

[Lafsdave]

yep the exige driver i a lot better and more aggresive than the gt3 driver... let imagine the swap between the two drivers i predict the exige driver in the porsche would get away pretty fast aggresive as that... but the exige k20a is incredible i want one

[69DC2]

The Exige is much more easier to control than the lardy battle ship GT3 in corners, but i have to agree with the K20 Exige is indeed incredible!! me want one too :D

[77and]

EXCELLENT

[soccerdude1239]

nice take at 6:30

[Nauaudis4]

The Exige driver is way better than the GT3 driver. The GT3 driver could not keep it smooth, and braked way too late in many corners. When the GT3 driver did hit an apex right and did the right combo of brakes/acceleration into and out of a corner, the GT3 would pull away hard. Nice driving, and your exige sounds hot!

[travisdt]

exige handles better at the corners as always

[Euphorica]

sweetness!

[momak100]

Wow man,I watch your videos with s2k,those are beautifol,but this package Elise+k20 is awesome. That Gt3 couldnt do anything in cornering.Thanks for video.

[ApexIXMR]

That Gt3 couldnt do anything in cornering...

Neither would the Elise if it were up against a 500lb GoKart.

[raidacaipo]

fucken gt3s are too fast.. not even the k powered can keep up..

[shaohaok]

simply magic

[FetidToecheese]

You showed a lot of patience there, he should have given you the position after he got caught in traffic. Great vid!

[stickyrice209]

honda motors are underrated..

[4Dcardriver]

Forgot to say, this is the best clip on youtube I have seen so far. It brings me joy, deep joy!

[4Dcardriver]

The Exige bodied Elise was just playing with the porky porker around the corners. GT3 still has it down the strait. Supercharge the mofo K20 and destroy the Porsche!!! Or better still swap that Honda for an Audi 1.8 TT lump, 400bhp in a tuned form with less wait onboard.

[joralex]

k20 rulz!

[skittsso]

wow that was fun. k20 kicksass.

[YanFU]

amazing how fast the elise closed the gaps in the corners. I'd bet the elise has a better lap time. It just kept getting held up by the big fat porsche in the corners and didn't have the grunt in the straits.

[raidacaipo]

fucken gt3s owns but much respect to the lotus wit the k series :]

[webus777]

lol these people thinking about the name brand and reputation before their thick heads can calculate that every vehicle has its potential. look at how WIDE the GT3 had to pull away from every apex. and look how clean the K20'd elise took every turn!

not to mention the porche looked/sounded like it had VERY light modifications maybe some track mods like a camber/lowering kit. but the lotus had a well-built honda engine so you would think that it's driver knew what they were doing on that track.

[raidacaipo]

dam elise against 2 gt3s.. grazy!

[Shorby99EK]

i would love to see this car with a supercharger on it.

[gyrenejoe]

Further proof that it's not about the car, but about the driver!

The Exige driver clearly outdrove the GT3 driver, good job!
