Mostly it's because Lotus is finally going back to the late, great Colin Chapman's original thinking: Make it simple, make it light, and it will be fast and handle like a champ. That car, in US trim, only makes about 160HP, but it weighs next to nothing so the power to weight ratio is incredible. Gary, I'm sure you noticed the interior is not exactly what you would call "luxurious" by any stretch of the imagination. I think you can just about stack two of these into the back of a PT....with our back seats of course.[8D]
