	Lotus Elan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lotus Elan is the name of two convertible automobiles and one fixed head coupé produced by Lotus Cars.
		The idea of a front-wheel drive Lotus, powered by an Isuzu turbocharged engine and motivated by an Isuzu five speed transmission, was a brave concept and its cornering performance was undeniable (on release the Elan was described by Autocar magazine as "the quickest point to point car available").
		The M100 Elan used a 1588 cc twin-cam 16-valve turbocharged engine, sourced from the Isuzu Gemini (a third generation of this engine was later used in the Isuzu Impulse), which produced 162 hp.

	Lotus Europa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 4-wheel independent suspension was as minimalist as everything else on the car; for instance, the rear suspension consisted of two relatively large trailing arms, one lower link per side, and the axles; very similar to Formula type race cars of that era.
		The concept originated during 1963 with drawings by Ron Hickman, director of Lotus Engineering (Designer of the original Lotus Elan, Elite as well as inventor of the Black and Decker Workmate), for a bid on the Ford GT40 project.
		Lotus turned the engine and gearbox through 180° to accommodate the Europa's longitudinal mid-engined layout, inverting the gearbox's crown wheel and its pinion gear to avoid having four reverse gears.

	Lotus Elan - Modern Racer - Modern Classics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lotus debuted the Elite at the London Motor Show in October 1957 with the intent of selling them to the public, but, to demonstrate just where Chapman's priorities were, the first cars didn't go to paying customers but instead directly to the race track.
		The Elan was a motorcar, not a club chair, meant for exhilarating excursions across the countryside, not sedate sessions with cigar and newspaper.
		Perhaps the Elan wasn't everything it might have been, just as perhaps Colin Chapman wasn't everything he should have been, but there is no doubt that in both the good far outweighed the bad, and that is their legacy.

	Lotus Elan M100
		The Elan M100 has made its mark in history as arguably the finest handling front wheel drive car ever.
		The other reason for the Elan's notoriety is the fact that is was reborn twice.
		Many Elans can still be seen around the UK, with its sure footed handling ensuring that fewer have been planted in hedgerows compared with sports cars driven by more hairy chested enthusiasts.

	Lotus Elan SE Turbo Quaife ATB differential - Quaife Engineering
		Rather, the Lotus Elan SE Turbo Quaife ATB differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.
		The Lotus Elan SE Turbo Quaife ATB differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication.
		The Lotus Elan SE Turbo Quaife ATB differential is proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use, and is produced from Corus steel billets, and is CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards.

		His first race was in 1969, diving a Lotus Elan Plus 2, a heavier, 4 seater version of the sports car.
		He then bought Norman Cuthbertson's, well proven, Elan for 1971; this car proved successful and he won 7 races and took the Castle Comb lap record in 1972, writing—off the car at the end-of-season race at Silverstone.
		Comparing the rear end to the other Elans, it can be seen that little of the original bodywork is left, most of it having been removed for lightness.

	Lotus Elan +2 (Type 50) - Ultimatecarpage.com forums
		This was signified by the birth of the +2 in 1967.
		The Elan +2 was built to move away from the 'kit car' reputation of Lotus (and clientele, to an extent) and to allow them to compete with the likes of Jaguar (the E-Type) and Porsche (the 911) in the quality, factory-built sportscar market.
		Many Lotus enthusiasts view the 'Big-Valve' engine as little more than a marketing exercise (the argument being, Lotus could have easily produced the extra horsepower from the original engine) but the fact remains the 'Big-Valve' engine in factory setup brought a significant upgrade in terms of power.

		Former Team Lotus employees Peter Collins and Peter Wright organized a deal to take over the team from the Chapman Family and in December the new Team Lotus was launched with Mika Hakkinen and Julian Bailey being signed for the 1991 season.

		The Elan is sometimes referred to as the '1600' - this referred to its 1558cc engine capacity (later increased to 1596cc).
		The Lotus Elan S1 offered great roadholding and handling without the rough ride sometimes associated with sports two-seaters and this performance continued with the Series 2.
		The Elan was originally offered to McGoohan (see interview with Graham Nearn) to be Number Six's main car, but in the end only appeared in the episode "The Girl Who Was Death", numberplate LWF 120E (almost certainly a Demonstration car provided by Lotus), as the car driven by "Mister X" (McGoohan).

		As a Lotus representative allegedly put it, "If we sell one of these cars to Joe Average motorist, we're in big trouble!" For the price, there seems relatively little danger of this occurring.
		The lever is mounted on the high center tunnel (remember, the Elan frame is a huge, boxed sheet-metal "X"), close at hand, and shifts with an audible "click-click" of its detents.
		Visibility is excellent, except that a sideview mirror is a must, due to the proximity of your head to the left side of the hardtop.
