Other information The Lotus Elise is indeed the worthy heir of Colin Chapman and his motto "light is right". It rings even truer here in its first edition of the wonderful Elise.
Tipping the scales at just 760kgs, it's powered by a beautiful engine that's both supple and torquey.
Completely understressed in this car, it revs up indefinitely, in the way of its Honda-Rover brethen at the time of its conception.
The design reminds me of the Le Mans prototypes of my childhood, pure unadulterated sport and with an unexpected and welcome bonus: the confort of its suspension!
