Lightness is Key

2012 Lotus Elise Club Racer
As if the Elise weren't light already, Lotus have decided to make it even lighter. Say hello to the all new Lotus Elise Club Racer. It just weighs 876 kg (1,930 lbs.) and has only 134 horsepower out of its 1.6-liter VVT-I engine. 0 to 60 is done in less than 6.0 seconds on its way to a top speed of 130 MPH. That's pretty fast for a very light and small roadster. Of course, it won't be available only in Sky Blue as you see above you. There's also Saffron Yellow, Ardent Red, Aspen White, Matt Black, and Carbon Gray. Prices start at about £27,000, but no word if this car will make its way into the U.S. yet.
