The new power plant is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder sourced from Toyota as is the six-speed manual transmission. Lifted from the Celica GT-S, the engine is good for 187 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque.
Gawww...I guess I never saw an Elise with it's instrument cluster lit before. Definately not digging it. The rest of it though....
