Lotus Elan | Lotus For Sale

     The Elan from Lotus cars was first brought out into the automotive world in 1962 and remained in production till 1992. Although initially, it came out in the form of a roadster, a coupe version with a steel backbone chassis and a body made of fibreglass was introduced three years later.

The Lotus Elan was the one car that was lavishly endowed with a lot of investment, which led to several developmental features that resulted in remarkable performance combined with a unique style. And the most significant aspect that cannot be overlooked is that all these features are available at a very reasonable price tag too.

        A most noticeable factor of the Elan is its seating position which happens to be quite on the lower side. Initially, this remarkable car came fitted with a twin-cam 1558 cc engine that had an independent 4-wheel suspension too. But the 1990s witnessed advancement in the model of the original engine when it was altered to a 1588 cc 16 valve Isuzu Gemini engine that was turbocharged and had a power of 162 hp. The 0 � 60 mph mark was reached in 6.5 seconds and the car could go up to a maximum speed of 220 km per hour. But there is a general belief that the early cars were lighter, resulting in better power and speed than the later versions of the Elan.
