Lotus Elise Perfected By Project Kahn

it's beautiful~

wot a high ass

dont like a chick with a hot a55? lol

LOVELY!!!!

sweet looking car....

i dont mind a chick with a hot ass....as long as her ass isn't 'tongeng'

these Project Kahn, or Gembala or whatever they call themselves, do they really have the expertise on bettering cars up?

not to be rude or anything, but Lotus spend millions creating that model and yet, this Kahn with i dont know how they do it, can do better?

or they just try n error by putting those pieces into the car? put something. then run. measure. good, then ok. if no good, dismantle. put something else. run again. bla bla bla.

is that it?

so no engine mods?

helo ~
i quite have the same thinking with drM
but sometimes a lot of car have a lot of room for improvements

that is why i think some there are still mod done on exotic cars

but not often , coz its like we have no taste to change the etc like especially exterior and interior

an example > i have seen some , whom i call ' blind owner '
he or she own a classic 80's porsche
where then add some very un melodic changes to it
an air vent , exactly same like EVO IV side air vent
and some scoop like impreza but smaller

coz the designer back then already did a good job designing the car
why ruin it ??

another example ,
lets just say ferrari is da vinci if you don't , he's a famous painter
then ferrari make a car , da vinci make a painting
satisfied with the result maybe fall into hands of so called owners
who then feel they have a mind of their own
n put some ' thing ' else to make it more nice ~

will be bullshit for me , except it is very nice

but i don't think it the elise featured here look bad ,

oh yea , if anyone is reading this

i cannot get into your site laa
zero to hundred !!!

can only reach here
anywhere further
cannot view at all ~
like forums or marketplace
all also can't

there is always room to improve a road car suspension
bcos a road car is tuned for both road and track
so the tuner can mod the suspension to be better on track
but on the road sure too uncomfortable

These tuners are customizing the car to cater to a niche market. Try not to think of it as a 'better' design to the manufacturers but rather diifferent for a different market.

Car manufacturers are constrained in their design. Their one design must appeal to the needs of various markets and at the correct price for the targeted market. It it costly for them to invest in the design of a new model and they must produce cheaply enough so the volume and profit is there and still meet future emission and crash safety standards.

Product design decisions are influenced by marketing decisions. So for instance, soundproofing though adds more weight is important for the car to appeal to a wide market. Another example is power. Why put a 900hp engine when a 650hp engine will do because the nearest rival is doing 630hp.. They also have to have one engine durable enough that can run both in the deserts of Dubai and in winters in Sweden for 100,000km without major problems. This may mean tuning the engine to produce only 600hp when in bench tests it can do close to 700hp without problems.

So you can imagine the amount of 'compromise' that goes into a production car or sportscar

Tuners have a freer hand. They don't have to invest in hundreds of millions to come up with a new car design and so don't need to think about ROI for that investment.

Having said that, the established names mentioned Gemballa etc (I guess Project Kahn too) are highly experienced engineeering outfits. They do proper engineering, testing including wind tunnel tests. So no 'engineering short cuts'. They're not chop shop stylists. They offer usually a lot more power, styling, handling etc at much much higher price, in very small numbers and at the expense of other things like comfort, emissions maybe some durability. They cater to clients who 'want to be different'.

not bad..
like the paint job but the back of the car makes it look like an elephant stepped on the roof causing the back to warp

Actually i think the rear end is standard elise. They just added the rear spoiler lip to accentuate the raised arse look. Even the colour think is standard Lotus Elise, if anything slightly varied.

A bit difficult to look past the perspective angles of the shot. Artsy brochure images

" To build special vehicles for a small circle of people who have the taste for exclusivity and the finer things in life" - kahn design slogan... if you'd just go to their website first before blasting nonsense, you can understand why...

phew.. lucky i didnt blast any nonsense. thanks for d help doppelganger.
