2015 lotus elise

3 Attachment(s)

Just found this today, sorry if this has already been posted but i want able to find anything when i searched for it. Basically lotus is completely redesigning their cars. This is the Elise which is going to be the least expensive of their line up.

2015 Lotus Elise Concept at 2010 Paris Motor Show - KickingTires

The attached pictures are the new cars
Lotus Elan
Lotus Elise
Lotus Esprit

beside it being the least expensive, the elise is the only lotus in the line up to have a manual transmission.

If Elise is going to be 45k I would actually consider trading my Z in for it. Better mpg and performance, might be worth the extra 15k.

Very lambo from the front and has the rear arches similar to a 458 italia. I like.

Sweet looking cars. Unfortunately you will still have to trade comfort and practicality for performance. If they add all the standard creature comfort, they loose their edge. If they keep it Spartan, they loose a big segment of non enthusiast. In the end its all about making money. I hope they find a good balance.

that's probably the elan you are talking about (the car in yellow-orange) because i don't see the resemblance.

below is the elise.

If they got rid of that sheitty toyo engine I'll get one.. If it wasn't for that celica engine I'd have one today. Hopefully the wised up and are putting a K20 in there.

I thought there was that option? I used to have a civic si, and I remember on that forum there was an article about an elise that had a k20a with a supercharger.

Ya Ive seen many owners swapping out for the k20. Makes it a lot quicker. But these new once should have something better I'm guessing since they got heavier and faster. The Elan and Esprit should be hitting around 190mph so I'm doubting they will be ruining the celica or k20 on those.

Built, that motor can handle plenty of power... my buddy has a twincharged Lotus with the 2ZZ putting down over 500 whp.

The C-60 trans is what turned out to be the weak link, and he had to go for a custom fitted MR2 trans.
