I am STILL waiting for someone to change out the Japanese motors for something more substantial.

I want to see stuffed into the Elise/Exige/Circuit:
1) WRX STI turbo 4
2) EVO Turbo 4
3) SRT4 Turbo 4
4) Lotus Esprit 4 cyl (or v8)
5) GM Ecotec (they have been pushed as high as 1500hp, I would settle for ~500hp)

#14: I guess it all depends on price, but yeah I’d take the american release of the ariel aton with GM’s supercharged ecotec. I just dig the no-body look of it a little more, and the passenger seat doesn’t hurt either.

Very Cool.

Question though, given the choice. This car or an Ariel Atom with S2000 powerplant?

I am 100% sure that this will not be street legal in the United States. Even the Exige S couldn’t pass emissions in the US and this won’t either. I do think it’s the coolest thing since the 340R… another car that was not street legal here.

Bottom line: I love it and am furious that it won’t be street legal here…

I’d love to lay my grubby little hands on one of those, especially with the cancellation of the VW GX-3. This would be quite the rocket, and loads of fun too.

Just hope it doesn’t rain…

Street-freakin-legal go-kart… BAD-ASS!!! I wonder just how much (little) it will weigh, and which powerplant it will use?

I’ve got $23.67 on it… oh, and since GMRules doesn’t like anything but GM, he’s not aloud to drive it either.

Close. I mean we should buy a fleet and just race ‘em. Or even open a racing school! Now that’s an idea! I got like 20 bucks on it.
