Lotus Elise

Elise
The Elise continues the tradition of refined motoring with a sublime sports car that handles and performs like a race car. The Elise has numerous improvements installed as standard equipment including a new Lotus Tire Pressure Monitoring System that provides instant warning if there is a puncture or if pressures fall below safe levels.

Other upgrades include a stylish new instrument display with a high-definition LCD message panel, clutter-reducing "hidden until lit" warning and shift lights and customizable display options. An alarm/immobilizer system is also incorporated with central locking functions into a new integrated ignition key design.

The Elise is powered by a 189 horsepower 1.8 liter, mid-mounted 4-cylinder engine with DOHC and VVTL-I (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Intelligence). Maximum power is 189 hp @7800 rpm with maximum torque 133 lb.-ft. @6800 rpm. Power reaches the road through a 6-speed manual transmission.
