So, who is she then? Well, Elise is the successor of the lightweight Lotus Elan, which sets the prime example of Lotus' key philosophy where they value aerodynamics and lightness first before anything else. She has a fiberglass body shell atop her aluminum chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension and apart from that lightweight body work, the 1.8L Rover K-Series engine mated to a 6-speed manual, despite its low power output of 118hp, made it capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in less than six seconds and onwards to 150mph. In her time, the Series I Elise has spawn numerous variants right up to the Sport 190 which produces 190hp of power from her 1.8L engine.
Although Miss Elise doesn't like telling her short biodata, she wants to see how much of a car she has left after her stint of being the heroine of a winter season love story. She might have jet lags but she can still go like rocket-propelled grenade and with that, it's show time.
Job well done, there's nothing else I can say about it.
Enjoy your new ride.
