Beautiful cars, I agree. Is it just me, though? I think the Solstice looks more refined. The Lotuses look more like kit cars. Way to busy with all the scoops and wings, etc.
To each his own I guess. But I wouldn't mind having what's under the hood in any of these cars in the Solstice.

It comes with the Sport Suspension, wheels and tires base. The rear/front fascia are slightly different and as you can see it's a Coupe instead of a T-top style design. It also adds the rear wing to the car.

The Espirit yes, the Elise no. The Elise/Exige uses (what used to belong to before it was killed) a tuned Toyota Celica GT-S engine making 190HP but only 138 ft-lbs of torque. It's a very rev happy engine and you're going to sacrifice about ~30 ft-lbs of Torque to gain 13HP.

I agree. The Solstice is a beautiful car in the classic roadster mold. The Elise is more exotic looking with a far riskier exterior design. I love both.
