	Lotus Elise - Wikicars
		The Lotus Elise is a roadster conceived in early 1994 and released in September 1995 by the English manufacturer Lotus Cars.
		The 2005 Lotus Elise was the first to be sold commercially in the United States, in the summer of 2004.
		The next-generation Elise, due in 2007, will be required to comply with the rules unless Lotus gets an exemption extension, like it did on multiple occasions with its previous USA distributed car, the Esprit.

	Inside Line: Full Test: 2006 Lotus Elise - The affordable exotic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		To broaden its appeal, Lotus is also presenting a wider array of performance and comfort option packages, and eight new colors join the list of 20 available hues for the composite body panels, including British Racing Green.
		Lotus says 0-to-60-mph times in the sub-5-second range are achievable, but we couldn't get any better than a 5.6-second sprint, and the quarter-mile was run in 13.9 seconds at 100.19 mph, well off what we think a healthy car could run.
		Another way to personalize the Elise is with the Premium Pack ($695), which requires purchase of the Touring Pack and includes a leather shift knob (what, lose that marvelous aluminum knob?) and handbrake gaiter, stowage tray pad and divider, upgraded Alpine stereo and an extruded aluminum cupholder.

	Lotus Elise 111s
		Although quite obviously of the Elise family, it was always the intention of Lotus engineers to make the Elise 111S a very different car to the standard model, and for it to appeal to a different type of buyer.
		An essential addition to the VVC K-Series in the Elise 111S is a new set of internal ratios and a modified final drive for the five-speed manual gearbox.
		Lotus chassis engineers worked closely with Pirelli to develop a rear tyre specially for the Elise 111S, and although that tyre retains the P-Zero name, it has a modified construction and rubber compound compared to those of the 205-width tyres supplied for the standard Elise.

	Lotus Elise 111R - RSportsCars.com
		The Lotus Elise 111R is the latest addition to the Lotus stable and introduces to the market the most powerful and highest performing production Elise.
		Links between the Elise and the track have always been strong, and the ambience of the facia and trim with the chassis tub sides provoke a strong sense of being seated in a racing derived but comfortable cockpit.
		For the Elise 111R, the Eibach coaxial coil springs and Bilstein high pressure monotube gas dampers have been retuned and optimized to maintain the Elise’s trademark agility, body control and poise while improving the isolation of both smaller and larger impacts.

	Lotus Elise: Technical Information
		The Elise has double wishbones at each end and to save money the system uses the same wishbone bush and outer hall joint for all four converse The suspension is tuneable like a racing car's and is designed to be dropped by 50mm with different dampers.
		The headlamps of the new Lotus Elise are borrowed from the most popular French car of all time...the Renault4.

	Lotus Elise Mk1
		All Lotus past models such as Seven, Elite, Elan, Europa and Esprit are all considerably lighter than their competitors, thus handling and acceleration are remarkable in spite of smaller engines used.
		The Elise is the 111th car (including racing car) developed by Lotus, although few of us know this.
		Lotus said it is destined to race track, but I think its achievement is well beyond that.

		Lotus' future was, once again, full of doubt.

	Lotus Elise 111S - Forbidden Fruit - Sport Compact Car Magazine
		But by 2000, when the second-generation Elise was introduced, Lotus needed to appeal to a wider audience, many of who demanded creature comforts.
		The introduction of new gear ratios also helps its cause and the Elise pulls cleanly and consistently from just 2500 rpm, growing in strength and intensity to the rev limiter at 7000 rpm.
		When Lotus introduced the second-generation Elise, it made it easier to drive quickly, without diminishing its lithe responses or the tactile quality of the major controls.

		By 9:30 the tension in the Lotus Booth was palpable, you could sense the sheer energy of anticipation from the staff manning the presentation.
		This is not to speak any less of the other Lotus Team people who did not take Christmas Holiday and instead chose to stand for ten to twelve hours, day after day, greeting Press and Public until they grew horse answering questions in the dry air of the Convention Center.
		Except for Lotus no one has ever come to the market before with a simple light weight machine that could meet and exceed current supercar performance standards at a price that would appeal to a the average middle-to-upper end sports car buyer.

		At idle, this ripped and fueled Elise is mellow, but once on boost, the whining turbo tells everyone this is no stocker.

		A word of advice from the boys at Lotus: the first chance you have, remove and stow the soft-top.
		Having just 10.4 pounds to move with each horsepower enables the Elise to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds on the way to a 13.5-second 102.9-mph quarter mile.

		The Elise redefines the sports car genre by blending the traditional Lotus values of light weight and superlative handling, with innovative engineering and a generous helping of fun.
		At the heart of the Elise design is an exceptionally light, but enormously strong spaceframe chassis, constructed from extruded anodised aluminium components and bonded together with a special epoxy adhesive, a first for a production road car.
		At the beginning of the Elise development programme, the brief to the engineers and designers was both simple and extremely difficult — create a new Lotus which reflects the genius of Colin Chapman.
