Scottish Elises

R500 replaced with a new more extreme 7:

spurt

Three Hundred and Eleven??

Wow

I did smile at "The 620R will have spawned a slightly less hardcore model, the 620S by the end of the year"

So that'll be windscreen, doors and hood, padded seats, and a heater

I read the title expecting to see this:

WANT

Never really thought the R500 was fast enough

Dayglo Yellow, aero, tillets, ZZRs, those alloys - jobs a good'un.

Was popping down to the bank this morning - could be dangerous......

If they build that with a 1.6 turbo with 300bhp for 35k, i am having one.

I suspect they wont.

My thoughts entirely, 35k won't even buy you an R400 and there's no development costs there (and as for KERS at that price )

This week's Autocar they have driven the 620R

It's getting rave reviews and can hit 60 in 1st gear

Lovely little toggle switches with shrouds, not unlike modern Minis, but I did notice they've ditched the Stack dash, meh.

I'd have one in a heartbeat even with a minor windfall

Would love a trackday in one of them.

I wonder how often the engine needs rebuilt on that one???
