Strange korean car, made by license from Lotus... If anybody has more and/or better pictures, please post them!

It's the Lotus Elan M100.
Don't have anything on the updates for the KIA construction, but if you google on the m100 you'll find all about it's heritage and lots and lots of pics.

The Elan was under-rated as it was the BEST FWD handling car in existence and felt more RWD :D

Lotus built it for a while, gave up on it, and Kia picked it up, in lamens terms.
