Found in Monterrey, Mexico, this custom Lotus Exige S is a sure bet to getting some Latina eyes on you. Running on a supercharged 1.8 liter DOHC engine supplied by Toyota and known as Exige Scuderia, the car features a custom body kit with rear diffuser and a huge wing, and a KOMO-TEC S300 Phase 3 intercooler upgrade kit that takes power output to a good 300hp. It’s a great tuning exercise, but too bad, we don’t have a price for the final version. [via gtspirit.com] (Photos by Jorge Rios)

If you are planning to gift yourself a Lotus Evora or you’re just another plain old car fanatic with no popular claim to fame, then forget about it. Lotus’ most proud production since Elise 133 years ago, Evora has a host of celebrities lining up to get behind its wheel and take the baby out on road. The list includes names like, Daniel Craig, Dave Grohl, George Clooney and London mayor Boris Johnson. The car can hit from 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 mph, yet it is its ultra-cool styling and that Lotus feel that makes it unique and special. Only 2000 of these will be built each year, so just get behind the line mate.

Lotus has built a reputation of creating beautiful cars with fine tuned engines and low weight. It seems they want to kill us with something that’s even lighter, which should consume very low amounts of fuel – EcoElise. First place to see it is going to be the British Motor Show.

This new jewel will be 32 kg lighter, and will use Toyota’s  good old 1.8-liter engine that develops 134 bhp. Along with the weight reduction, Eco Elise will have body panels, seat and carpets made out of natural fibres. Lotus wants to show us they are overgreen, so they’ve even put a green shift light which will help drivers drive in a fuel-saving way.

The Eco Elise is not for sale but it can be if there will be a high public demand. Most people don’t care if their sports cars are eco friendly, as long as they’re loud, fast, hot and gets them women

What will happen with the Eco Elise? What do you think?
