Amazingly fun car! I have owned the car for the last 25,000 miles and have loved every bit of it. Unfortunately for me, I have a baby on the way and bills to pay so toys have to go. This is no ordinary Lotus Elise. This is the Perrin Performance Lotus Elise that is turbo charged and puts 260 horsepower to the pavement. It is quicker than even the Exige S260! For those of you who want to know all of the technicalities about the turbo system, the complete build is documented online and can be found by searching for Perrin Performance Lotus and it should be the first link that shows. I am not a technical person, so it would be useless for me to even try to explain what the car has added parts wise. All I know is the car is fast and fun. The previous owner of the vehicle is the owner of Perrin Performance. This was his wife's car, until he started to fall in love with it. An easy thing to do, trust me. The boost is set conservatively at 8 psi, but even that is enough to put this light car in the races with supercars. The power to weight ratio is phenomenal. PERRIN Turbo Lotus 7.6 pounds per WHP C6 Vette 8.8 pounds per WHP 997TT 7.7 pounds per WHP Z06 Vette 6.5 pounds per WHP The car is a blast even if you never take it to the track. You feel like a rock star just sitting in it. If you have any questions about the car, you can call me at 502..330..1359 and I will be glad to talk. If I dont answer, leave a message. I work a lot and cant always get to my phone. I am not interested in any trades. Thanks. On Sep-13-14 at 18:31:25 PDT, seller added the following information: Amazingly fun car!

One scratch on the removable hard top, and one paint chip on the rear deck area. Both are minor. There is also an issue with the cluster going off. It is a common issue with Lotus gauges and can be fixed by soldering the back connectors. It is not a major issue and causes no drivability concerns. I believe in full disclosure so if you want pictures I can email you pictures of paint flaws. If you have any questions about the car, you can call me at 502..330..1359 and I will be glad to talk.

Even though the exhaust has been modified and there is an aftermarket ECU, there should be no issue with any regulations or emissions certifications. I am not interested in any trades. Thanks.
