Lotus offers supercharger for Elise and Exige

Lotus Cars has announced the availability of a new Lotus factory engineered, warranted and 50-state legal complete Supercharger Kit for naturally-aspirated Elise and Exige models sold in the United States.
These Lotus Supercharger Kits use the same supercharger and integrated intake manifold unit as fitted to a production Elise SC and can be installed on any naturally aspirated Elise or Exige powered by a Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine. The compact supercharger and integrated intake manifold, working in concert with new high-flow fuel injectors and a re-programmed engine management control unit, increases horsepower from 189 HP up to approximately 218 HP and torque jumps from 133 lb-ft up to approximately 155 lb-ft. More importantly, the increased maximum torque is available at a lower 5,000 rpm instead of the naturally aspirated 6,800 rpm, offering a much broader and more flexible power band.
The Lotus Supercharger Kit is available for purchase and installation at all authorized Lotus dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
