Latest from Jay Leno's Garage...Lotus Elan 26R

One of the most awesome episodes ever! More power than the FRS but 1/2 the weight....gorgeous! Makes me want to go the cheap route and take a miata, remove the body and redo it with a custom frame bolted to the running gear to make a similar setup (there are bare frame Ariel atom/Catterham kits for miatas that do this, dropping ~1000 lbs off it).

Love the sound, it must be the unique exhaust cut out that adds to it.

Also the 6 speed sequential transmission. I love that gear whine...
