Hi guys,

I thought this would be the best place to ask, as I've tried google and it came up with nothing. I've just had a little blast with a dark green S1 with a yellow '150R' badge on the back, along with a red and black 'Raceline' or something similar below the exhaust in the middle.

It performed the opposite to I imagined an Elise S1 would, I thought as he was in front, he'd pull some ground through the corners, and I'd pull back some ground along the straights. In fact, it was quite the opposite, I stayed with him on the bends and he pulled 4-5 car lengths on the straights. I was quite surprised how quick it was through the gears compared to mine.

When we approached the village, I gave him a thumbs up and he returned the gesture out of the roof (poser )

Does anyone know what this model is? Just wondering what it's specs were, and what engine it had.

Cheers

Mac

Never heard of a 150R (probably 150bhp with suspension and tyre upgrades) but then I'm now driving an S2 156R which no one knows about either



Edit to say that anyone who can identify the 156R font, and can point me at a free TTF download will earn some sort of thank you prize.

I'm guessing that it had a Raceline tuning kit, see Here and decided to display the supplied stickers, aftermarket cams etc.

Personally I'd go for the wolf in sheep's clothing look.
