Fine tuning is mostly done by fine tuning bureaus. But sometimes car enthusiasts, as a Mexican Jorge Rios, make them by their own. His masterpiece is thoroughly upgraded roadster Lotus Exige S.
The body draws much attention. It was seriously rebuilt: on the front bumper and thresholds - plastic lining, and back - with inflated arches, giant antiwings and a new bumper. And a solid tail is perfectly combined with the fact that made the Mexican in the part of technology. Unless suspension is not changed, but compressor motor 1.8 received a package of improvements Komo-Tec. It includes a new intercooler, water radiator, fuel injection system and control program. As a result, instead of 220hp of the rear axle there are all 300hp.
This Exige S is capable of reaching 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds after start, instead of the standard four, and accelerate to 250 km / h instead of 240. Unfortunately, Jorge Rios does not report how much money was spent to finish the British rocket. We found only that the same kit, Komo-Tec S300, in Europe costs about 6500 euro.

So “Jorge” spent some cash at Pep Boys and “customizewd” his Lotus, eh? Great. Now even THOSE cars aren’t immune from the ghetto/riceboy treatment. I’ll bet you can hear this car coming two blocks away thanks to the kickin’ system–WHOOMP! WHOOMP! WHOOMP! Man. You can’t buy class like that.
