The Elise, manufactured by Lotus Cars, came into production since 1996. This two-seater roadster with a fiberglass body and bonded and sturdy frame was created with the intention of keeping the production costs as low as possible. Its unique combination of light weight plus performance has made it an extremely desirable vehicle of recent times.
Available in a single trim level, this mid-engine roadster is powered by a 1.8 litre inline 4-cylinder engine that outputs around 190 hp and is capable of speeds up to 240 km/h. The brakes of this beauty are handled by A.P. Racing and have Brembo calipers, which turns out extremely responsive when required. With a six-speed gear transmission and a power of about 7800 rpm, and a torque of 138 lb-ft, the Elise with its Toyota engine that also features an intake and exhaust parts along with a pinched engine controller is just perfect for that sporty, no-fuss ride.
