IIRC there is (or was) an Alfa V6 conversion available for the S1 Elise, so it can't be that difficult?

A nat. asp. 3.2 litre Alfa would almost be enough to make the Europa desirable...

Check out the latest Evo - lead article on Lotus. They had a sneak look at the Eagle 2+2, due to be announced at the London Motor Show next year. Evo speculate a Toyota 3.2L V6 under the hood.
