Looks good, but Lotus looks good anyways. Any online accessories shop can do that, add a spoiler, some chrome, large wheels and there you have a better looking car than the original. What is so special about this one? Huh..!

is it just me or does khan just put the same set of wheels on everyone of its cars and call them project kahn...

i think the same as well. this one atleast has some kit. the ferrari 599 and the audi r8 they did had nothing but the same set of boring wheels. wonder whats the point.

"car stand out from a possible sea of other Elise owners" - this must be in a country like Singapore where taxis comprise of the E class and 300C...

for once kahn hasn't made a car look like utter garbage. that in itself is an achievement

Putting the exhausts in the diffuser channels sure isn't going to help with the downforce. All show and no go.

Personnally, I think it looks like crap. The front spoiler doesn't blend in right.
The exhaust thru the diffuser doesn't help aurodynamics. Seems to be just bling added to a future classic lotus design. I bet a stock elise would tear that car up on a race track. P.S. I've never like that type of wing that lotus adds to the 2008's

horrible front lip. looks stolen from the honda s2000 parts bin. i don't even know what to say about that abomination of an exhaust system. destroy the functionality of the diffuser and leave the gaping stock hole in place. YUK! and what is the problem with those wheels? look more suited for a huge luxocruiser. what a turd!!!

What a terrible job! The side scoops are too boxy (all the other lines of the car are curved) and add drag to a car that is pretty draggy already. What is the point of the little crease under the side scoop? The rear 'wing' is clearly non-functional and probably interferes with the functional rear lip; at best the wing just adds yet more drag. How amazingly stupid it was to put exhaust cans right in the diffuser elements! Between that and the rear lip, they've killed all the rear downforce. They didn't even bother to fill in the hole in the center diffuser element where the exhaust tips normally exit. The front splitter and side skirts look like they might add a bit of downforce, but that puts the car out of balance, since they screwed all the downforce at the rear. And yes, the tires are weak. Pretty nice paint job in a great color, that's the only positive I see.

While this is undoubtedly some of KD's best work, that's like saying Zimbabwean national parks are quite nice.
That and this was released in August...
