The Lotus Elise

It's not how fast it can go. It's how your heart beats in a few seconds. Never mind that Lotus is one of the world's legendary sports car marques, or that every Lotus was borne out of ingenious, clever engineering. It doesn't really matter that the ride and handling of the Lotus Elise is outstanding, or that its sharp communicative steering, quick throttle response, precise braking and balanced aerodynamics all contribute to the Lotus experience of sublime performance.

What really matters is when you get that shiver down your spine. Or why all your senses just get fixated on one thing.

Try driving a Lotus Elise and you'll realise.

Elise S

Driving any Elise is an experience like no other - and the Elise S is no different.

Few cars can match the delicacy and accuracy of the steering, throttle and brakes. Only a Lotus has the relatively soft springs and firm damping to give superb body control and a truly exhilarating ride. And only a Lotus can turn in such performance with such minimal environmental impact in terms of emissions and fuel consumption.

Elise R

Addictions make your heart race and leave you breathless.

This one is no different.

The Elise R is the pinnacle of the Elise range. Its VVTL-i engine delivers 189 bhp and exhilarating performance in a blip of the throttle, pure communication between man and machine.

The finely tuned chassis harnesses the increased power effortlessly, while razor sharp dynamics embrace your every wish. It is this bond between you and your Lotus that brings every nuance in the road direct to your fingertips, taking you on the journey of your life, every time.

The Lotus 2 Eleven

The new Lotus 2 Eleven is the ultimate track weapon, engineered to tame the worlds' race circuits.

Designed with the most serious of track day drivers in mind, the 2 Eleven exhibits levels of acceleration, braking and cornering found only in a pure race car, whilst the rigid aluminium chassis ensures you will benefit from the same sense of security found in the Elise and Exige.

Lotus' obsession with low mass ideals is taken to extremes through the use of lightweight composites, forged alloy wheels, alloy dampers and a race battery. The result is lightning responsiveness reflected by the structure and aggressive exterior design.

The 2 Eleven is extreme, purposeful and uncompromised - all things that will mark you out as a true track-day connoisseur.
