First one looks a bit like the Porsche turbo engine... compact boxer layout with twin intakes. Probably completely wrong though.

the Thor looks a V6 Vtec but is that a Honda sign? don't looks like it or honda also makes a luxury brand, just like Nissan(infinity) and toyota(lexus) ...
But what new? car are they talking about to put those engine's in? lotus? or something complete new?

First engine is a V6.... most likely the NSX lump based on the rev limits and power outputs. It has been very well proven to very very high levels racing in Japan. The second engine is the Accura lump from the legend or whatever it's now called, so another Honda V6 but a narrower angle and not one I've seen very highly tuned in the past.

If it's a new car from scratch I'd guess a tubular space frame, like the Mosler, Prodrive.... etc....

So they both have maybe nothing to do with Lotus? but they talk about 2007...
So maybe the V6 goes into the Europa?
And the other in the new Esprit thats comes in 2007
Or they both are totally not Lotus related...mistery car from the dark site it is...

[bogie]

if they manage to fit an NSX lump in there then I'll be having one and sticking the JSRC on that - awesome

I was on the 280RR site and saw there is some news and picture's! of the building from the 280RR...280 horsepower and 220 pound feet of torque transforms the Elise into a true supercar with performance to back up it's exotic looks...sounds nice to me

It's an Acura symbol - The US Honda 'luxury' brand. The NSX is an Acura NSX in the states.
