The UK Garage (based in... Italy) and its Lotus Extrema has taken Colin Chapman's philosophy to a level the old man never could have imagined. Built atop a Mark I Exige, UK Garage widened the track, stretched the wheelbase and created a custom Mark II body kit to fit more rubber and make room for a range of mid-mounted engines.

On the low end of the spectrum, customers can equip their Extrema with a GM-sourced, turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 putting out 350 hp and tipping the scales at just over 1,800 pounds. A Superlight variant is also available, weighing in at 1,650 pounds and equipped with either a 2.6- or 3.4-liter V8, producing 360 or 450 hp, respectively. For those who want to go full (big) bore, the Extrema can be had with almost any GM-supplied V8, ranging from two LS3s producing either 420 or 500 hp, the 520-hp LS7 or the Corvette ZR1's 638-hp, supercharged LS9. With only 2,138 pounds to motivate, the range-topping Extrema is claimed to hit 60 in 2.9 seconds, blow through the 100 mph mark in under seven seconds and on to a top speed of 200 mph.

In addition to the engine upgrades, UK Garage can equip any model with a manual or sequential transmission, along with an Ohlins suspension, four-piston AP Racing brakes, roll cage and other safety systems. Both race-ready and road-legal versions are available with prices starting at €66,000.

damn shit is hot!

cdlong · 01-27-2009, 10:35 PM

nope, not cool enough for zilvia, wheel offset is too high.

seriously though, looks cool, though i can't imagine ever needing 638hp in a 2100lb car. the turbo V6 or any normal V8 would be awesome.

YoungGun · 01-27-2009, 10:54 PM

Awsometown!

ZilviaKid · 01-27-2009, 11:02 PM

that car would NEVER have traction equipped with an ls9..

6th gear burnouts? yes please!

*MisawaJason* · 01-27-2009, 11:06 PM

jesus christ those offsets make me want to throw up. But the power/weight ratio makes me think twice

*Flicktitty* · 01-27-2009, 11:08 PM

that is fuckin retarded.....i love it!

*Nismoknightska-t* · 01-27-2009, 11:15 PM

thats crazy!

see every car needs a lsX motor!

why not, civette's old news, mini's next

VROOOM · 01-27-2009, 11:26 PM

who cares about offset, that car is amazing

xdarkrune · 01-27-2009, 11:51 PM

not low enough.
not flush enough.

im sure this throws the weight bias on these off a bit. plus have 300-400 more hp AND weighing less than a standard lotus, this thing is prolly tail happy.

*theronin* · 01-27-2009, 11:57 PM

Needs moar stretch!!11!!!11

*future240* · 01-28-2009, 12:13 AM

Am I the only one who does not find these cars in the least bit attractive?

ESmorz · 01-28-2009, 12:15 AM

You are not alone. Amazing car, just not asthetically appealing to me anymore. I used to kind of like them.

I'd still rather have my gutted Elan with twin Hayabusa's...

I think thats a understatement. LOL

C. Senor · 01-28-2009, 12:32 AM

that's definitely pretty crazy. they can put some nice parts on the car, that's for sure. i like it. i wouldn't mind owning one.

ayuaddict · 01-28-2009, 01:41 AM

why do i have a feeling a stock exige with say...a supercharged K20 would be more fun and possibly faster in most occasions?

wow-thats-a-cool-car · 01-28-2009, 01:46 AM

put some work vs-xx on it that are flush and that thing would be sick as hell

what r the ofset on those wheels? the center is past the lip...+100 lol

JohnJohn86 · 01-28-2009, 01:53 AM

Those wheels are so gay, fenders are too big

BustedS13 · 01-28-2009, 01:54 AM

pff

who gives a fuck

i mean look at that wheel gap, that's obviously not a car of any interest whatsoever. there's probably room for the shocks to travel.

fucking fail

*cc4usmc* · 01-28-2009, 02:25 AM

zomg rhd !!!1!

*slider2828* · 01-28-2009, 10:29 AM

Sr20det!!! Sr!!!

*HalveBlue* · 01-28-2009, 11:28 AM

I'd drive it!

iTZ_Mik3 · 01-28-2009, 01:03 PM

that is one kick ass lotus
i would love to see how this car performs. (aka if it can handle the power)

BustedS13 · 01-28-2009, 01:13 PM

i bet it's loud
i wouldn't let that on my race track, it's too loud

Matej · 01-28-2009, 03:26 PM

Needs a BN wing.

Geno750 · 01-28-2009, 03:29 PM

*allntrlundrgrnd* · 01-28-2009, 03:31 PM

thats fucking awesome^

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 01-28-2009, 03:39 PM

This is bordering on the edge of actually being too epic!

I agree.

Sure the ls9 powered Elise is a cool thing in a, "I'm a car guy" sense.

But overall it's just a stupid and pointless idea.

There is a point where dare I say it, too much power in any platform just wouldn't be fun.
