They probably did something to the engine because they are talking about 192 whp if I remember the article correctly. It is the second time they present that car in Sport Compact Car. (I also saw one at the Montreal auto show... sweeet)

Did you look at the Dyno? Looks like they could tune the VTEC point a little better. Lost about 4 HP on the crossover. Just my Understanding at least. What you guys think?

Re: Lotus Elise / Type R (austrian type-R)
the original engine found in the elise is out of a uk front wheel drive car called the rover 218.....this rover is based on the same chassis as the as the honda civic ek series which comes with a b16a2 which is basically a straight swap for a b18c5
dont know if it means its easy to fit to an elise though
an elise in the uk costs about the same as an itr
there,s loads of em here.....i drove 1 too.....nice.....never drove an itr though.....i got an itr engine 4 my civic though....jus wish i had an elise to put it in
