I know Porsche chassis and suspension engineering is in a class of one: no other company comes close. But I also know what the Lotus Elise was like to drive: a missle, despite the modest hp. 1600 kgs...the Turbo is an awesome car, but that is a lot of mass...but at 1350 kgs, what could the car be like...????
