The Elise 111R and Exige S2 have Toyota 2zz-ge engines (engineered by Yamaha lol). The Elise S1 and Exige S1 have Rover engines. The Europa S2 has a Vauxhall engine. The Esprit had a Lotus engine. The Elan m100 had an Isuzu engine. And the Isuzu Impreza had handling by Lotus. There was a short period of time in the 90s when Isuzu owned Lotus.

Isuzu made that cool little "wagonette" thing with the ,I think it was, "suspension by Lotus" badges on the front fender quarter at the knee line. Sort of a Saturn Storm looking thing. Saw one about a year ago.

I believe the first vx prototype had a lotus elan engine fitted with a compressor(or was it just with the same turbo)
Anyway this 1600 cc engine has a standard output of 165hp but can be tweaked at little expense to 210 hp.
There is a guy from greece on the elan forumwho's extracted over 300 hp out of these 1600 cc's!!!!!!!!!

Then we should invite the Lotus people as well and keep the excitment all in the family!
