Post Lotus announces factory-developed supercharger kit for Elise and Exige

Lotus Cars USA has officially announced a factory-engineered, warranted, and 50-state legal supercharger kit for all Lotus Elise and Lotus Exige models powered by the Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine.

The kit utilizes the same supercharger and intake manifold as fitted to the production Lotus Elise SC. Along with revised engine management and new high-flow injectors, power climbs from the stock figures of 189 hp / 133 ft-lbs of torque to 218 hp /155 ft-lbs of torque. Peak torque also arrives earlier at 5,000 rpm compared to the naturally-aspirated motor’s peak torque figure at 6,800 rpm.

Hmm. The numbers don't seem too impressive, but I'm sure you can feel it on a car that light!

Oh yeah, you can feel it alright. My friends dad just got one for his Lotus Elise. The car is already fast, and fun around the autocross, and then their Lotus Club had a group by for a supercharger. Talk about deep pockets!
