MNboxster, do you have any insight on the Javan r1?

I am a HUGE lotus fan, and I am going to buy an elise in 07, but I just heard about this Javan R1 which is 500 lbs lighter than an elise, and uses a honda k20 engine (same one used in the s2k I believe) making 220hp.

It's only in England now, and is priced at the equivalent of $60,000 USD..

After hearing about this car, I am gonna have a tough time justifying the purchase of my lotus.

Any insight from you?
