VX220/Elise/Exige
Been playing Forza on the Xbox, and it got me thinking... i know these are essentially the same car chassis-wise, but what engines do they have in them??
AFAIK the Lotus has the 1.8VVTi Toyota unit in it, but what is the Vauxhall running? Is it the 2.0/2.0 Turbo out of the old shape ass-tra ?
Has the Exige got the same engine as the Elise then?
......and i thought that "vx220" was a shit name.... but we should count ourselves lucky, as the vx220 in Forza is called the "Opel Speedster"
