Description

  • We fitted it with a VVC engine in 2013, which has now covered just 12,500 km. This makes it a particularly fast and sporty Elise. The Lotus Elise is a lightweight open-top sports car built by Lotus. This innovative sports car was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1995 (initially under the project name M1-11) and proved to be Lotus’s salvation. The car has a bonded aluminium chassis, which is very rigid. The bodywork is made of polyester. The car’s low weight (initially around 700 kg) ensures high manoeuvrability and rapid acceleration. Initially, the Elise was fitted with a 1.8-litre Rover K-Series petrol engine producing 88 kW (118 pk). Later, other variants such as the Sport 135, Sport 160 and Sport 190 were introduced, all offering increased power through engine tuning. In 1999, the first Elise, the 111S, was launched, featuring a Rover K-series 1.8 Variable Valve Control (VVC) engine delivering 143 pk and boasting slightly different specifications, including wider tyres.Accessories

  • Radio with CD player and MP3 functionDoor ons in 2013 voorzien van een VVC motor die nu nog maar slechts 12500 km heeft gelopen. Dit maakt hem tot een bijzonder snelle en sportieve Elise. De Lotus Elise is een door Lotus gebouwde lichtgewicht open sportwagen. Deze innovatieve sportwagen werd gepresenteerd op de Frankfurt Motor Show van september 1995 (aanvankelijk onder projectnaam M1-11) en was de redding voor Lotus. De auto heeft een gelijmd aluminium chassis, dat erg stijf is. De carrosserie bestaat uit polyester. Het lage gewicht van de auto (initieel rond de 700 kg) zorgt voor een hoge wendbaarheid en snelle acceleratie. Aanvankelijk werd de Elise voorzien van een 1.8 liter Rover K-Series-benzinemotor met een vermogen van 88 kW (118 pk). Later kwamen ook andere varianten zoals de Sport 135, Sport 160 en Sport 190 allemaal voorzien van meer vermogen door middel van motortuning. In 1999 verscheen de eerste Elise, de 111S, met een Rover K-series 1.8 Variable Valve Control (VVC)-motor die 143 pk leverde en een iets andere uitrusting kende waaronder bredere banden.Accessoires
