It's fitted with a 3.5 ltr Toyota Camry engine.They handle very very well too.Much better than the Elise, because there is more power you can kick it's tail out in the bends.They are a bit cheap on the inside, however the handling more than makes up that.
Cost about £50k.

Understood, thanks.

Has anyone driven them in anger or used them much?

Have a read of this -

It's certainly a car I'll be looking at in a few years time.

Took one for a test drive last Sat.

Fantastic bit of kit. Was driven by a Lotus instructor and could not believe the cornering speeds! It also looks fantastic....

Prices are a bit too high for used ones at the mo, but I'll probably get one when the price is right.
