So Speedhunters was out and about in the SoCal canyons when they came across this guy out driving his Lotus. The guy basically took apart his entire car and rebuilt it up from the ground up. It's running a Toyota 1.8L 2ZZ motor with 680hp!

It's turbocharged AND supercharged!
It does 0-60 in 2 seconds!
It only weights 2150 lbs!
tons of custom dry carbon bits

holy sh*t

it has a similar or higher power to weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron, and was built to be driven in canyons and mountains! I wouldn't say the wing is overkill
 
WOw! Simply stunning!

But why keeping the 1.8 liters toyota engine? A lot of Lotus ELise owner usually switch for a K20a (Integra Type-R 2002+) for a better engine.

680whp for a lotus Elise is a bit overkill for my taste. Especially for a little car like that.
