The product revival happening at Lotus is nothing short of spectacular. Recent new releases and introductions have all lead to a rebirth of the sports car company. The Lotus motto performance through lightweight' certainly shows through in cars like the Exige S and the forthcoming Esprit. Now what is the best way to put a crown on all of your achievements? Why not build a track car? Well that is the plan for the circuit race car you see here. As equipped, the circuit racer will get the 1.8L supercharged and inter-cooled engine, aluminum frame and composite body panels. All told, the vehicle weighs in at less than 1200 pounds. The base engine (non-supercharged 190bhp) should provide a 0-60MPH sprint in less than 4 seconds. Expect these cars available from you local Lotus dealer in 2007, starting around 43K dollars.
