The lightweight English sports car builder Lotus has just set free a whole new kind of animal onto the presentation car market, taking Colin Chapman’s original philosophy to a whole new level in order to make a 257 HP supercharged hard top Lotus Elise that can go from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4 seconds. By employing items like a lightweight ’motorsport’ battery, ultra-light five spoke bogus alloy wheels, revised rear engine sub frame with lightweight coating, lightweight fly wheel, lightweight composite bulkhead panel replaces rear window as well as alloy supercharger U-bend pipes and by erasing pointless items like carpets, face mud flaps, battery cover, internal mirror, sunvisors, back tailgate gas strut the Lotus plan team has been capable of shed almost 250 pounds from the compact sports car.
