With the growing number of Ferraris->ke252 and Lamborghinis->ke44 cruising their way through our streets, it's refreshing to see a Lotus taking its worthy turn at showing off. It's even better when this particular Lotus has taken part in a little tuning project of its own. Tecnocraft has taken a couple of Lotus models, including the Exige->ke525 and the Elise->ke1678, and has molded and shaped a good amount of carbon fiber for a product worthy of a little attention.

No official details have been given on the final product just yet, but these pictures show a classy combination of yellow and black for the exterior and the interior of the sports car. Considering carbon fiber was the way to go for these Lotus->ke49 models, we imagine that a weight reduction is definitely in order. Just how much weight has been schlepped off is anyone's guess at this point.

The carbon fiber sports seats being used in the Lotus model have already been showcased in Tecnocraft's version of the C63 AMG, but another new addition for the sport cars will be a news set of wheels to further decorate the exterior.

As a refresher, the standard Elise is powered by a supercharged 1.8 liter engine that develops a total of 217 hp and rockets the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The Exige gets a supercharged and intercooled 1.8 liter engine with 257 HP and a sprint time of 4 seconds.
