Lotus introduced the Elise in 1996 just after the preliminary plan was showcased in 1994. The Elise is actually a rear wheel drive, two seater roadster using the engine within the middle. It has an aluminium chassis having a fibre glass entire body bonded to it, this helps retain the weight of the Elise to a minimal and also lowers production prices.
The Lotus Elise was named after the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus in the time on the car's launch. The 1st generation Elise weighed just 725kg, It was resulting from its light weight that it could obtain a 0-60mph time of just five.eight seconds, bearing in mind it only had 118bhp engine this time was a real achievement.All through its six year lifespan Lotus released restricted edition designs of your Elise which include, the Sport 135 (1998/9) with approx 145 bhp (108 kW; 147 PS), Sport 160 (2000) with 150-160 bhp (112-119 kW; 152-162 PS), and Sport 190 (190 bhp (142 kW; 193 PS)).
