Lotus
Elise (North American Debut)
Called by Road & Track magazine “The purest sports car on the planet…,” the Elise is the newest minimalist 2-seater from Lotus. The composite body and lightweight chassis give it a curb weight of just over 1600 pounds, and with a 1.7-liter engine located just behind the driver delivering 190 horsepower to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission, acceleration is… brisk. |
