    Default Ronin's 688 hp Lotus and other Lotus photos - by Larry S.

    Photos by Larry S.

    688 horsepower from a 1.8 liter Lotus engine.

    Ronin's brilliant machine. Bodywork and paint by SCC.

    Taken in the alley behind the new Specialty Car Craft building at 1862 So. La Cienega Blvd. and inside. You gotta see the place!

    Here is one of them...



    There are a bunch on youtube though, and I feel like there is one where he loses it for a little and gets pretty damn closes to wrapping that thing on a wall.

    Here's a photo and information from my friend Dirk:

    "One of Specialty Car Craft's first show-stoppers was this Lotus Exige Custom Conversion aka "Ronin."

    This car has over $80,000 of aftermarket customization including the one of the first Sequential-Manual Gearboxes in a Lotus Exige, as well as a full Compound Charged system (yes... that's right... Super AND Turbo Charged!) producing over 700hp.

    Every part of this car was designed by the owner and put together by Specialty Car Craft and this car is still in progress!

    For now, Specialty has just fixed some rock chips and gave the wheels a paint job that would give this car a little more POP! For more information, go to www.SCCBH.com."
