Lotus teamed up with Project Kahn to build a special version of the Elise for its 60th anniversary celebrations
Enlarge PhotoThe exterior is upgraded with a full bodykit, including new wheel arches, side skirts, and intakes, as well as spoilers both front and rear and silver mesh over the engine bay. Inside, the cars are fitted with new leather seats embossed with the Kahn logo on the headrests, center console and steering wheel.
Performance is not ignored as the vehicle's air flow system is enhanced with the addition of a Kahn sports exhaust and the suspension is lowered with a 28 stage dampener. The cars are now on sale exclusively though Dream Machines Lotus in the UK.
Lotus is also organising a variety of events at its headquarters over the coming months to celebrate its 60th year of manufacturing sports cars. It’s hard to imagine that it was back in 1948 that Colin Chapman built his first race car and came up with his trademark slogan of “performance through lightweight.”

Lotus cars are some of the best looking cars on the planet.

They made that Lotus look horrendous because the back of that car look super tall

The back of that car looks very strange. It's just weird.

The exterior is indeed beautiful however the interiors are spartan - even for a lightweight sportscar.
Did anyone here fit the widebody kit for this car in the game NFS:Undercover? That one is better, much better!
