Lotus Elise (2010) first drive CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 19 April 2010 09:24

You’ll struggle to spot the difference, but this is the third-generation 2010-spec Lotus Elise. The basic chassis, brakes and dimensions remain unchanged, but the styling is subtly tweaked (the headlights are the stand-out change, but many of the panels are gently finessed) and the base model now has a 1.6-litre Toyota-sourced engine located amidships and a six-speed gearbox to replace ...

Lotus 2-Eleven (2009) n/a CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 26 January 2009 11:39

The Government hates the car, and whether that’s true (or whether they just like taxing the motorist), there’s no getting away from the fact that life on the road can be pretty hard. So we need to escape, yet supercars are big and unpractical and out of the reach of almost all of us. Thus the track car came into ...

Lotus 2-Eleven s/c (2008) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The 2-Eleven is the most track-focused road car Lotus has ever built.

There is a track-only version that does without lights, a horn, etc. but having driven the 2-Eleven comprehensively on the ...

Lotus Elise SC (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 10 January 2008 11:02

We’ve been subjected to some rather tenuous special edition Elises in the past, but this is a bit different. The fastest, most powerful production version of Lotus’s baby sports car yet, it’s essentially an Elise R (formerly the 111R, now renamed) fitted with a supercharger to provide an extra 28bhp. So it’s got the engine from the Exige S? If ...

Lotus Elise S (2006) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Angus Fitton, 31 July 2006 05:04

I'm stumped. It looks exactly the same as the Elise R, so why's it here? When Rover died the entry level, K-Series-powered Elise went with it along with a loyal customer base that couldn't stretch to a whopping £29,945 (in basic trim) for the Toyota-powered 'R'. Meet the 'S', the new entry level Elise. It's £6000 cheaper than the 'R' ...
