Professionally, I am passionate about driving management and leadership excellence. I relish challenges in enhancing business performance and organisational adaptability in line with the dynamic and connected 21st century. Personally, I am a bit of a Car and Tech geek. I like cars and I am a true BMW fan. I love racing, particularly Formula One and do a bit of karting myself. I am a technology, Internet and science fiction geek. But I have taste too - I love great design, beautiful people and things. :)

The Lotus 2-eleven. I want.

Some raw stats of the 2eleven:

Performance
0-60 mph 3.8 secs (estimated)
0-100 km/h 3.9 secs (estimated)
0-100 mph 9.1 secs (estimated)
(0-160 km/h)
Max Speed 155 mph (250 km/h)
Max Power 255 PS (252 bhp / 188 kw) at 8000 rpm
Max Torque 242 Nm (179 lb/ft) at 7000 rpm

All this from a supercharged and intercool 1796 cc engine on a car weighing in at just 670 kg (1,477 lbs).

This is a car made for the track and the price is a very steep specialist US$97,000.

The KTM X-Bow – why can’t we have cars like these in Malaysia?

Oh yet another “naked car” like the Ariel Atom 2, the Lotus 2eleven and the Caparo T1. My mouth is already drooling. At a glance the KTM x-bow looks like an overgrown go-kart… and i am sure that it drives like one. These are the “less is more” cars that i want.

Some quick specs:

  • weight: 1600 pounds without driver
  • engine: an Audi 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbo engine (from the Audi TT and A4) with a whopping 240 hp and 300 ft-lb of torque
  • top speed: ‘only’ 135 mph, with a 0-60 mph in less then 3.9 seconds
