Automotive News, Media & Press - 1.8L with 680whp in a Lotus *Video*

And it weighs 2150 pounds :chug:

I came across this today and wanted to share. It's an extremely built 1.8L force-fed by a superchanger and a big turbo. They say in the video it's a billet 6262 but not sure if that's what they ended up sticking with.

badass! lotus always has been an awesome little car, just needs more power!

I've actually considered getting an Exige S, but it would have to fit in as a DD in the warm months, and I don't see them being comfortable enough to be a DD. I love those cars though, and if I could afford a toy car that saw limited road time, it would be the Exige S.

It blows my mind how they just created this beast in that little garage. So much money was put into that car and the way they designed it all to work together is impressive. I mean, who uses isopropyl alcohol injection when they get into high boost? It works but it just seems excentric.

haha i've seen that car before. always ripping up the malibu canyons. pretty wild
