Lotus Exige V10
Discussion
I saw there is also a RSW Evo on sale with V8 and SC with 520hp, but it looks a bit od? seen prettier RSW models.

that red example looks a bit odd against say their anthracite? looking car>

they go up to 600 bhp so it seems and have some wider track and a bit longer wheelbase I suppose.
most important/interesting (I find) that the engine lays longitudinal and not transverse, thats what I would like in a sports-car.
not that you can make a say normal elise/exige not fast enough![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
but those type of Lotus based cars with their longitudinal engine are pretty rare too.
I would love to see that Lotus did this also with their Elise/Exige cars, like say the old Europa's s1 and s2 etc.

those RST engines also sad in some caterhams I believe? but very expensive and I guess not so long living?
Forgot about this Lotus the Motorsport lotus, which does have the engine longitudinal
but sadly they only made one I believe? and was also very expensive, although very nicely made.

and of corse some GT1 elise's with V8 and longitudinal engine lay out, but those are also a bit way of market (or how you mane such car) and very rare and ow expensive too![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

the end-pipe surely make some different.
say like the old days when you put such Italian? exhaust on your motorbike with a very small tube![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
also the bore of the endpipe makes different, could be dark/hollow when you make it big bore, or high toned when you make it small bore, so the tone can sound different.
just for fun you take a very big bore PVC (plastic) tube say 25mm bore and about 1 meter long, put that on your cars end tip and listen how it sounds different.![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
