Admit it; the first time you looked at the photo, you thought the owner had some weird fascinations with tigers. How else do you explain this Lotus Elise->ke1678 Superlight in California that looks a lot like Tigress in the movie ‘Kung-Fu Panda’?

We don’t have too many details on the car but we’re thinking that with the way this Elise Superlight has been set up – notably the exposed rear engine - it’s probably got more power under its hood than a standard Lotus Elise romping around the streets these days.

You don’t find a lot of cars that can pull of the ‘ferocious feline’ look and get away with it. This one sure does and it also should help that it’s got the power of one too.
