I was watching a 2 hour long episode on Streetfire about the development of the Lotus Elise... And found something rather disturbing yet interesting about its manufacture. Did you guys know the Elise frame is GLUED together? Its frame is also entirely made of extruded aluminum... Pretty impressive to me... Just wanted to discuss it since Ive never known of a car with a bonded frame made of extruded aluminum... They say altogether it weighs in at 690kg and is structurally stronger than welded... can someone translate that into pounds? Isnt that like 2200lbs?
Heres the link if you have 2 hours to kill and are as obsessed with cars as I am
