I was under the impression that the current 111R would leave a Porsch Boxter for dead never mind a new model, 0-60 4.9 seconds, 150mph, at Autocars 'Best habdling car of the year'issue, i beleive the 111R beat the Boxters time by about 4seconds???

The Elise has a long way to go to compete with the Boxster in terms of creature comforts. I think this is where the next level of competition is aimed.

Creature Comforts??, like traction control, Sat nav?, Full leather interior?, Twin & side Airbags?, electric memory seats?
No thanks you can keep them, give me speed and road handling anyday, and anyway Lotus doesnt know how to build creature comforts without them falling off or goin faulty or looking like "add ons" from your local boy racer shop. Keep it Real.
