K.07: Japanese Lotus Elise

While Ken Okuyama may not be name that auto enthusiasts will readily recognize, there's no doubting that nearly anyone who loves cars knows of his work. The man who penned the Maserati Quattroporte and the Ferrari Enzo while at Pininfarina has released his latest creation, the Lotus Elise-based K.07.



Looking something like a cross between a Formula Ford and a Classic Lotus 7, the car brings a uniques sense of style to the trackday set. The car will have more power to motivate its lithe 750 kg weight since it's powered by larger 2.0 liter motor, of the same type as the standard Elise.

Proving once again though, that you must pay to play, the car will be priced at an eye watering ₤102,000 ($186,517).

Our take? There so many other cars that could be purchased at the price point that offer similar levels of style and substance.
