One of a total of 338 examples of the limited production, hand-built mid-engine targa coupe imported into the U.S.

Sports Car International
, Lotus has pulled off the perfect blend of race-level technology and street car comfort, creating one of the most exhilarating cars ever to be unleashed onto public roads and racetracks alike, that look[s] like a race car that somehow got a DMV exemption. (ISSN 1042-9662, March 2006).
If you are looking for the sort of head turner that only a limited production sports car can bring, with the performance chops to back it up, this is the vehicle for you!
Will put a smile on your face just standing still, but let 'er loose on the open road and you will be making excuses to take the long way home.
Endlessly fun to own, and painstakingly cared for, as the original owner, I personally did all of the modifications myself (once out of warranty). Mechanical and body mods can be taken back to 90-100% original spec, which I will include for a buyer preferring a more stock arrangement. In north county San Diego (since new).
With very few exceptions, you will not easily find a cleaner, lower mileage example anywhere!
