Kevin Fennell and his company FASTx Autosport<\/a> built this Lotus Elise for a customer to train in before competing in a Ferrari Challenge<\/a> race car. The Elise received a supercharged Honda K20Z3 inline-four capable of 450+ hp (330+ kW). The motor features a TTS Rotrax supercharger, TTS intercooler, and FASTx custom exhaust manifold. The electronics system included a Motec M150 ECU, Motec PDM30, and Bosch M5 ABS. Power is sent to the rear Hoosier A7 semi-slick tires through an EliseParts six-speed sequential transmission and FASTx custom axles. The work resulted in the Elise reaching 160+ mph on Circuit of the Americas and a 2:20 on the Installation lap. <\/p>\n
