This car, i tested a few years ago. It was memorable! :) So the Lotus 111R is very impressive for me since then. :) Just like a go-kart with brilliant driving experience. :) Aluminium materials almost everywhere. ;) But don't tell more news of this car. :)

hes a beast of a driver

500bhp way too much, 300ish is about the threshold for a quick well balanced Elise/vx
-
@jespurrier seriously...you could also replace the engine with some japenese inline 4 or 6 and mod it up to upwards of 500 horsepower for not much more...it would be like owning a ferrari caliber car for under 25 grand
-
@redghost105 Yeah you know what, I would buy a vx220 turbo for that money. Thats a hell of a lot of fun for not that much cash!
-
@jespurrier they go an average of 8 or 9,000 pounds...pretty damn good for the money

Lotus is a better car had an S1 and will be going back to S2 shortly .. Put wider tyres on the front and it will reduce all that understeer and give a bit more oversteer.. Lotus know how to build a chassis and always have done.. Why do you think vauxhall get lotus to make the car for them?? Lotus is far better looking too!! Personal choice I know

VX220's are easier to mod, easier to service, cheaper to run, look for manly, cheaper to insure - the worst part is that they're built by lotus.
if lotus gave the car to vauxhall and they built it it wouldnt fall apart.
Getting my vx in a few months and i cant wait to hunt down all the toffs in their slow little lotus'.

The elise does have a better setup with it's wheels,
the vx220 has bigger front wheels and slimmers tyres, a good upgrade is to put the same wheels sizes on as the lotus, just as they intened vauxhall put the bigger ones on for looks...

Drove 'em both back-to-back before I picked my winner. Which was the VX220. It's much easier to maintain, I think it looks nicer, and being a Vauxhall it's not a "oh look at that idiot in his fancy showy car" - which is what my old Subaru was by the bucketload.
Plus if you know how to drive a VX, they're more than capable of upsetting a 111R on the track.
lotus is the supreme ruler of all cars (in my opinion of course)

Why are people so snobby about Vauxhall badges?!?!?!?! Since the Astra in 2004 they havn't built a bad or disapointing car since... Plus they are as reliable as anything out there and cheaper than the equivilant Ford or VW.
