    Exclamation Lotus Elise Paddle Gearbox testing!!



    Today i have spotted this Lotus Elise. I was surprised when i saw the interior, it had a paddle gearbox! The guy told me they were testing a new gearbox, so i suppose this is the SPS (Serial Precision Shift) gearbox that will be presented at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show!
