This might not be a Lexus, but they'll turbo the V8 from an ISF for their esprit!?

I guess I need to same more for the next gen ISF. I dont mind having 600hp for DD.

Everytime I read about this new lotus I get pissed.......damn it were are our Toyota turbos

I think this is old. Lotus decided to build their own engines and their emphasis would compactness and light weight.

Check out the date on the article - September 2010. Subsequently they scrapped this engine idea and all but one (I think) of the coming vehicles listed. Unfortunately...
