[@zonefox69]

thank god you didn't put any music for this video...

[@HUMC5]

Nice lap. And I love that supercharger whine!

[@mr-t1243]

IMO people who are into not just going straight the supercharger is a much better choice verse a turbo kit.

[@amirulzaimi3029]

Mr- T supercharger sound

[@gky3019]

the elise sc comes from the factory with a supercharger...

[@renevanderkraats3811]

Bright orange Elise, AND with the supercharger...envious! If I ever were to buy an Elise, it would have to be one like this.

[@thebikerepairshopformby]

Nice, smooth, fast, driving. Love the sound of the SC 👍

[@abetty9636]

Great video, lovely to hear the lotus singing its heart out.

[@alexburnside7838]

What have you done to your Elise for racing? I'm just thinking about getting into it so all I know for sure that many places require is a fire extinguisher and an emergency fuel shut off. Love watching your videos, I've always loved driving and would like to get into weekend racing when I can, can't drive like this on roads haha

[@harrycliors]

+Alex Burnside The car has been sold ;) I had no extinguisher and no emergency fuel shut off in the car, but I advise you to install it in your ;) I had just upgrades on my car. Only tyres (Avon ZZR), brakes (EBC Ultimax USR discs, Carbone Lorraine RC6 pads, and RBF660 liquid), and an ECU upgrade to 240hp ;)

[@allenchilaxin4322]

+Alex Burnside I have a 2005 elise for sale with 13,500 miles on it.

[@kai2go918]

@@harrycliorsHi, I also have a SC. Was the ECU upgrade to 240HP worth it? Noticable? Think about upgrading as well.

Sympa ce petit fight avec la Ferrari 458 Italia !!!

Wow!

[@Feluzion]

Wow man i love this car, the sound i have a video on my channel on asseto corsa running the nurburgring

[@unknownally]

I’m just here to make sure there was no LOTUS - lift off throttle you spin. Good job man

[@romeonazaryan1622]

The lotus is sexy.

[@lcsambo8275]

Hahahahahaha

[@psychoaceclap6402]

Amazing video till this day I love lotus! I already knew Ferrari was gonna be faster in the straight line but lotus at turning is way better and that’s where lotus catches up on the turns.

[@oscarzt1652]

i prefer supercharger whine to turbo whistle any day

[@davidbell-ij6qo]

what have you done with intake, my sc doesn't whine that loud!!??

[@matthewvalenzuela1441]

He might have a smaller pulley, making the supercharger push more boost, effectively increasing the noise. I noticed a difference on my mini cooper s.

[@harrycliors]

That's just the Cup Airbox with a TRD air filter which do that noise ;)No smaller pulley, you don't, it's bad for the supercharger ;)

[@motto666]

Is this all stock at 217hp? It looks faster than that?

[@ErectileSceptile]

Well, you have to consider that it also weighs only 2000 pounds. Relatively speaking in terms of speed it's probably around 400-ish horsepower in power to weight ratio.

[@skylinejdm3133]

That's supercharged sound? ? ?

[@harrycliors]

+Shichao Zhang Right ;)

[@hansdegeytere]

My Sport 220 (supercharged obviously) doesn’t make that supercharger sound ... did you change anything to your car ?

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

This is the older 2zz engined car. They are a lot louder than the modern ones.

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

And an extra passenger meaning more weight... nice driving

[@MrUrlawyer]

do you already have this car? Are you satisfied? Is it suitable for everyday use ?? ;-)

[@harrycliors]

No, I changed for a Caterham R300. I was really satisfied ! The only difficulty for using it everyday is to get in and out of the car. But you can do a lot of things with this car, more than a Caterham ^^

[@joao1999g]

Harry David May I ask why did you trade this for the Caterham then?

[@tofudeliverygt86]

Performance, driving, weight.. same reason he went for Lotus in the first place.

[@MohdAzylee]

wow

[@user-ow2fb6ji7s]

Good

[@BrooklynBear63]

LOL. Only 1 guy racing in this video.

[@icefishing804]

How much does a lap day cost there?

[@harrycliors]

Bronson Burch 27€ for one lap. More you take laps, less is the price.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

A million laps. Who is counting :D

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

Pretty good, pre-tty pre-tty good...

[@DAaaMan64]

jesus which supercharger is that?!

[@samueldowney2806]

Pretty sure that is a standard factory Magnusson MP45, but with remap and louder intake.

[@opheliemeichelbeck9068]

[@Kentworlds]

Great driving. im new to the lotus family add me

[@177SCmaro]

[@hadescorp1475]

The camera that your using is so shitty, but I like the video that you made though

[@harrycliors]

That's a Drift. My first broke, and I received this one in warranty which is at the end ^^ I don't recommand this camera.No problem with my Gopro 2.

[@johnlabu6974]

[@peyshafril6352]

Haha

[@davidecamuffo3757]

Ma e normale che una tp con motore centrale sottosterzi tanto specialmente in entrata di curva? Scusate l'ignoranza ma con motore centrale l'auto dovrebbe essere stra' bilanciata e al massimo partire di retrotreno o no ? Sterza come fosse una ta o 4x4 invece...

[@92CUCA]

+Davide Camuffo dipende da un sacco di fattori, bisognerebbe analizzare ogni curva e conoscere meglio le condizioni della macchina... il comportamento "intrinseco" del veicolo è quello di sovrasterzare (dovuto al fatto che il baricentro è spostato verso l'asse posteriore), ma questo non significa che non ci possa essere del sottosterzo

[@robbie_mc_rae]

No, il motore e posteriore non centrale ed e normale avere piu aderenza al retrotreno visto che il peso del motore grava sulle ruote posteriori tenendole attaccate a terra, per ridurre il sottoaterzo bisognerebbe diminuire la deportanza positiva con un estrattore, uno spliter e delle minigonne. Sulla elise ce altro poco da fare.

[@pierpaoloprastaro7379]

Ho avuto un'Elise e aveva sottosterzo nelle curve lente. Con gomme semi slick scaldandole bene la situazione migliora a, ma è una macchina con la quale devi sempre tenere giù, sia per caricarla davanti sia per tenerla in traiettoria compensando il sotto sterzo con il sovrasterzo. Il punto è che quando lo fai sei sempre al limite ed è facile girarsi. Sembra facile guidarla al limite ma non lo è, ci vuole molta sensibilità. Sul tracciato Trento - Bondone, per tenerla dentro davanti pizzicavo il freno col sinistro sia in entrata che in uscita, e allora era veramente veloce. Auto non per tutti, ma se hai manico e sensibilità è un osso duro, soprattutto sul misto guidato.

[@davidecamuffo3757]

@@pierpaoloprastaro7379 dopo tanto anni ho avuto modo di verificare da solo... Di mio mi trovo bene solo con le traduzioni anteriore che sono più "facili" per andare veloci, la traduzione integrale sulle prime sembra la migliore ma ha limitate "reazioni" per giocare e cmq per farle "correre" serve molta coppia e potenza le trazioni posteriore con motore centrale/posteriore bisogna come dici te usare spesso il freno per caricare le ruote anteriori e dare più o meno freno motore a quelle posteriori x il carico "io finisco x andare piano" viceversa vado meglio con le trazioni posteriore e motore anteriore risultano più "facili" però in ogni caso su strada il tutto avanti è sempre efficace bagnato asciutto ecc..

Sounds like its crying

mosquito sound

[@GethinJames]

Don't you know how to rev match?

[@edlingja1]

MrFunk and you're Keichi Tsuchiya or whatever lol

[@domdegood5376]

The noise is the turbo :)

[@another3997]

Supercharger, not turbo.

lotus is interesting here but too slow.

[@BossHoggJDH]

Ferrari 💩

[@ZachCanPlay]

learn how to heel toe dude

[@harrycliors]

+Zach Berse It's done if you listen ;) No need to go to 8000rpm. If it's well done you have no jolts when you shift down fast, and it's what I do ;) Just go to the right rpm when you shift. 30.000kms and no problem with my gearbox ;)

[@otsegobob]

+Harry David damn right! really no point downshift to 8k rpm. wear on trans + higher chance of over rev during some heated moments trying to clock personal timing... been there done that. :(

[@ZachCanPlay]

You don't down shift to redline.... In SCCA and PCA, NASA.... you're not even allowed to instruct or be a tracking student if you're not properly rev matching. You can lock up the rear wheels... and its down right bad to engine break. Your whole power train hates it. That Toyota power plant is a tough one. But I wouldn't ant to put extra stress for no reason. I'm not here to argue though!! Great color for the Elise man!! My favorite color. :)

[@zhbvenkhoReload]

Malaysian Engineering vs Italian Engineering

[@another3997]

No, all the engineering is done by Lotus in the UK. Always has been and hopefully always will. Lotus Cars and Lotus Engineering are both run as separate companies, based in Hethel, Norfolk. They're not owned by Proton these days.
