The Lotus 2-Eleven, unveiled just prior to the Geneva Motor Show, recently hit the track for the first time. Apparently the results were good -- very good, in fact! AutoCar ireports that acceleration for the 1474 lb speedster is already beating initial projections, with 0-60 taking just 3.9 seconds and 100mph arriving in 8.9 seconds from a dead stop. The £39,995 track-only version will start rolling off the line at Hethel next month.

Fantastic, but still loses to the Radical SR8

Is this thing street legal? If not, give me a vintage can-am sportsracer for the same money.

this is what happens when an elise, a go-kart, and the F430 get to makin some sweet lovin'. that back is such a rip off of the 430. granted, it does look good, and it is most certainly a result of form dictated by function, just like the ferrari.

Dang, mooj, I've heard of cars being mated and producing a child, but a threesome???? WOW! just kidding....
Anyway, this would be the ultimate track weapon if it were street legal. Having it not street legal kinda puts in in another league and as Castle says, a Radical is a better deal for the money.

A street legal version will be available in the UK. US status is unknown.

Is that thing powered by the Toyota 1.8 liter or something else with a bit more power?

The 2-Eleven uses a supercharged Toyota engine.
