Stay on the track damn you! Someday I'll own an SC K20 swapped Lotus, even if it looks like the driver in the video has trouble just keeping the power to the ground.

Thats the motor is should have come with. With a supercharger it looks like he was having trouble at half throttle geting it around that tight little track. Makes for a fun ride for sure!

Guess no one noticed it was a soft top that is removable???

Paddle shifters are kinda fun but call me old school I like to shift gears.

if he can barely keep it straight, you cant


You sure that is Tsuchiya? Cuz that's not his voice on the driver cam....IMO this video was a poor showcase of the power. There was a lot of understeer surprisingly for an MR. But I also noticed in the beginning of the video the A048R's had quite a bit of wear on them. Shoulda threw some fresh tires and retuned the suspension. Sounds tight for sure though and looks wicked quick.

I was watching an older Jeremy Clarkson video last night and they talked at great lengths about the Noble. Seems like a amazing car. Since it's a less popular car the resale on them is terrible.

I found several for sale used for around 40 grand.

Lotus handling with 400+ hp would be pretty fun.

Seems to me to be a great alternative. Plus I like the Noble styleing a bit better.
