It just rolled to a halt , the driver got out and then up it went , much to his obvious chagrin. It's a pretty hot car! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t have the same side profile as any 911/918/CGT etc. look how the front lamps bulge out. It looks more like one of those bodykitted Toyota MRS/MR2 abominations that I’ve seen for sale. Its a Porsche Cayman ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, the USA the land of opportunity welcomes immigrants from all over the world and many of those immigrants still like to drive foreign vehicles. I don't know why, but many entrepreneurial, and wealthy people from all over the world choose the USA to go to and not a country like Germany or Thailand. Also, Los Angeles is home to many people in the sports and entertainment world who make very large sums of money and look for outrageous conspicuous ways to spend it, especially the sports and music industry people. Rappers like Killer Fudge, Mr. Finger, Sir Chunkalot all drive German imports. or German vehicles assembled in Mexico and which are then customized in the USA. Thailand does not attract the same wealthy people nor have the advanced technical capabilities to offer local vehicles of the same calibre.

I still think it’s a body kit on an MRS however. Sure looks like an SC S3. Door details, rocker panel, ... but no lower front air vents.

It’s the front bumper picture in the article that leads me to believe it is some sort of kit car. I can’t find a picture of a similar one online. From what I understand, Lotus uses a Toyota engine in the Elise which I wouldn’t expect to be going up in flames. I’ll bet it would be fun as hell to drive though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll bet it would be fun as hell to drive though! Maybe the front bumper is a home-brew repair after a fender-bender? What looks authentic is the curvature of the door edges and the setback from the front wheel, the fender and where the pieces line up.
