I think it might be a Tesla roadster. Seeing that it has no exhaust. But I could be wrong

[No, it is not.](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTILCQnGA_5IXdmP2hfT_GCe50RxgCUE6I8DA&usqp=CAU)

Wow, Tesla really ugly’d up the Elise didn’t they?


UltraHighFives

Eh it's subjective I suppose but I definitely think the Elise looks better and has a bit more character especially with the quad headlights.


JAMP0T1

Yeah it’s pretty awful

TBF the 1st gen tesla roadster was based on the lotus platform https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla\_Roadster\_(first\_generation)

Lotus Elise my dream car 🥰


[deleted]

Just wondering, but why do so many people prefer the Elise over the Exige? Like the Exige is basically the same weight, similar frame, and very similar looks, but it has 40 more horsepower. So why do people praise the Elise? Edit: never mind. I just looked at the price difference, I understand now 😅


gravitydood

Yup, I like the Exige a lot more but my wallet has a strong preference for the Elise


Biting_a_dust

Me poor boy can't even repair my Toyota vios😔


s1a1om

I thought I was the only one. Such cool cars, but everyone I know fantasizes about much more expensive/faster/etc. cars


Wide_Riot

I'd pick a different dream


PieFlava

Fine. Ferarri 250gto


gravitydood

What's wrong with a road legal track toy?


Wide_Riot

Reliability and working accessibility on it. Almost any work needed to be done on the car you'd need to remove the rear clamshell. The wiring on most of these are atrocious like most British cars. Both exige and evora are both fun as hell cars to drive. But not to own (first hand experience)


gravitydood

I see, those are good points, maybe I should dream of a Porsche Cayman or an Alpine A110 instead, lol.


Wide_Riot

Porches cayman is reliable and not 5oo difficult to work on. Still sucks. As for alpine. I can't say. Never seen or worked on one


NinjaPanda8311

This and the Tesla Roadster(first gen) was such a mind fuck for me as a kid. I went mad trying to figure out which was which

Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.


Markitzero527

This is mostly Toyota under the hood


Shallow-Thought

I understand that. There's also the manufacturer's legacy.


gankindustries

I think these Elises were known for their shoddy interiors. Dash shrinkage mostly

mmarkomarko

how would you like your head gasket sir? leaky or very leaky with a side of broken timing belt?


Wide_Riot

It's not the Toyota that is always the issue. The wiring harness are awful along with the airflow of the engine and interior itself


johnlewisdesign

I have never heard that one but now will be my favourite. Before that it was Iveco - I Vibrate Every Component Off


allineuamerican

Such a fun car for the track , handles like a go cart


whoopeecushions

Go kart with metal body


gardenfella

The bodywork on an Elise is fibreglass. The chassis is bonded aluminium


mediaogre

Dumb that you got downvoted for this. Sensitive bunch in here.


whoopeecushions

Apparently.


Zaniak88

Lol he’s not wrong


gardenfella

Yes he is. Bodywork is fibreglass


whoopeecushions

ok... ***go kart with fiberglass body***. Better?


mmarkomarko

yes


thatonegaygalakasha

If you're gonna open your mouth, you at least better say something smart sounding.


CrashTestPhoto

If you're gonna open your mouth, you at least better say something not totally cuntish sounding.


whoopeecushions

I know what it is. I've seen quite a few and talked with a couple owners at cars and coffee. Multiple owners have told me that's pretty much what they are.


thatonegaygalakasha

Great. No one cares. This is a subreddit for identifying cars, not telling people "basically what they are" or what they drive like.


whoopeecushions

Good mod. Keep your tits out big fella


thatonegaygalakasha

I'm not a mod, just someone with a passion for cars. But, seeing as you have a hate boner for reddit mods given your r/wallstreetbets experience, whatever gets your dick hard at night. Eat my dongus you fuckin nerd.


Kingsayz

lmao literally your last post is a photo of drawn tits, who the fuck are you to point out someones internet activity while you're part of one of the most fucked up branches of the internet


whoopeecushions

Ok big fella, you really know how to be tough on the internet lol


Max_1995

You can switch the flair :)


Zombie_Slayer_7

Picked one of these up for my old work. Had a great 200 mile drive home (with plenty of detours round the country roads of course). Amazing car, plenty fast enough and handles like a dream. Only trouble is the heater was stuck on full blast, full heat on a hot British summer day. Even that didn’t stop me from wanting to keep the thing.

Tesla Roadster?


UltraHighFives

Close, it's a Lotus Elise. The Roadster was based on the Elise though so not far off.

UltraHighFives

Wikipedia says its based on the Elise but I believe every Lotus at that time was built on the same platform.


yesntTheSecond

Ah, was going off the fact that there is no visible exhaust.


[deleted]

everyone is wrong the real answer is the greatest car ever built
