'Accidentaly' releasing CAD renderings and magazine-ready views of the prototype sounds more like clever marketing than anything. I like the car though, CTSVs are quite fast.

Dude, you totally don't get it, Lotus isn't as much about the looks (although I think the Elise is pretty cool looking), they're just supposed to be insane sports cars. If nothing else, Lotus is the one car company I can think of that's legitimately devoted to keeping their cars lightweight (IIRC, it's the only modern production car in North America under 2000lbs).

As for that Camaro, I kinda dig it, just because Chevy got the whole retro design thing slightly better than Ford did. Although, it's hardly a major disaster that these pictures were leaked, it's just more press (and what, it's a surprise that it's on the CTS platform - yes, CTS, the V is redundant, because it's the same damn car with a bigger engine - how many RWD platforms does GM have that it could realistically use?).

The new Europa's heavier than anything else in the Lotus line :/

Anyways, interesting magazine scan I found-

Rotary Miata?

Looks more like a really good photosop job

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 12 Dec 2005, 04:07

I'm thinking Miata coupe (like the MGB GT or the BMW Z3 coupe). I remember reading something about that being proposed or something in Road and Track.

*Edit* I just noticed the RX-3 headline, so, uhh, yeah, probably a rotary Miata.

No I haven't.
The most powerful Smart that I know of is this:

BrabusSmart Roadster BiTurbo (170hp)

Lola T70
Its the car built buy the company that designed the Ford GT. 0-60 in 3.9 and 218 predicted top speed. The design is from 1969, and never went into production.

Now it is, with a price tag of Â£155000. Without the 5-litre Chevvy motor, which the customer must get custom-built

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 21 Dec 2005, 15:50

Wow... Can you put a peace of paper under it? Car is so low.
But overall ugly.
