Didn't it used to have an RX7 engine?

Well, no.  Not by Lotus standards.  It was about 1800 pounds.  Call us back
when it gets down to 1100.

Of course, they may have changed it since I last looked.  I recall that
MotorWeek gave one away in a contest.  They showed it being built (it was a
kit) and showed it being delivered to the winner in the Florida Keys.
