some pic of the new elise, what have they done to it

look how skinny that front tyre is

looks shit

 

thats clearly a test model, very much doubt its the final product, lotus aint gonna sell a car with tyres that thin

spy pics aint they.. check out all the black tape over the bumpers and badges.. i think it looks nice.. refreshing change to the current model

 

i know its the test model.........but the back end is shit with the new engine cover like that. the current model looks alot better

 

I like the look of it. If it's a testing car, for wind noise/wipers/seals then it may have whatever set of wheels they had to hand.

 

i like it.. but whos to say its gonna be the final look

 

The VX220 uses front tyres like that. Its a safety thing apparently. makes the car more understeer more rather than oversteer. Safer for the type of people they were marketing the car for apparently.

 

Nice understeer

 

I spy a turbod vauxhall engine under that bonnet.

Is it deffo the new Elise and not the new VX220Turbo?

Where them pics come from?

 

The Elise will be using the Toyota engine I presume, so you could well be right there Steve........

 

Im a muthafuckin genius, see

With it being a test car, AND being built on the Elise chassis, it could well still be a Vauxhall.........

 

Ford Wheels too!!!!!
