Rover K-Series, 1.8 litre 180bhp. Newer ones have the supercharged Toyota Engines. In a car that weighs less than most peoples pubic hair, thats more than enough.

They might be 'small' there, but they're not that small!!

The new Elises are not supercharged, but they do use the Celica's 4-cylinder engine (2ZZ-GE). There are turbo kits available however: http://forcedfed.com/elise/turbokits.html

I love the Elise's. Quite hard getting used to driving, it's more like a motorcycle than a car, you have to be defensive because people wont see you. I think that picture actually makes it look larger than it is, Next to my Supra my friends Elise looks like a toy.

there's some guy in boise that has an elise with a motor swap. i think he put a b18 honda motor in it. i'd rather see a 3sgte swap but thats my $.02.

I thought the Lotus came with the Honda engine from factory.

IIRC, he's doing a K20 with forged internals and going the turbo route.

His Elise is also a first generation, not the current one.

Here caddy's are down on 14 / 15 inch wire rims, not 24's, 24's on caddys look like the ghetto meets the country, gangster hicks.
