Lotus Elise S Review
Lotus Elise came back with an entry level sports car is set to propel the Hethel based manufacturer of additional sales charts. The loss of the K series engine had temporarily created a hole in the Lotus portfolio "and loss of range was not good news for pure sports car lovers around the world. The challenge of" connecting the gap "has now been spectacularly addressed with the launch of the new Lotus Elise S - 6 0 under both - 60 mph sports car, available in an amazing £ 24K "on the street price." Lotus has shoehorned in a high-tech 1.8-liter 134 hp Variable Timing Toyota engine, which perfectly complements the phenomenal handling characteristics of the Lotus Elise. This book is a cracking new entry-level car, able to take you from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds just smile inducers (000-100 km / h in 6.1 seconds) and a top speed of 127 mph (205 KMH), the law allows! As a new entry-level car, the Lotus Elise S can not be the fastest or quickest Elise in the range, but the acceleration, performance and handling of the ruling class in the price bracket and belies the real substance of the cost and design a new vehicle - what is the sub-£ 24,000 roadster can reach 60 mph in 6.0 seconds under ? For the sake of comparison, the 2.0-liter Mazda MX-5 reaches the same speed in 7.9 seconds. Add to one of the lowest depreciation rates of all the cars on the market and purchase a new Lotus Elise S becomes one of the strongest retail proposals can be found. Lotus Elise S is built around the revolutionary and award winning extruded and bonded aluminum chassis with a lightweight steel rear subframe. casing itself weighs only 68 kg (150 lb) and the stiffness of 9500 Nm per degree. body design remains unchanged from the classic 190 hp Lotus Elise R - why change the winning aerodynamic package and an elegant Lotus design just for the sake of it?
Standard specifications of the car will also be happy, because nothing has been removed from the car to reduce the real value of money offered by a firecracker proposed new Lotus. Full Lotus Elise option menu is also available on Elise S, with the exception of a limited slip differential, ensuring the new car is very easy to customize the clients individual needs and preferences.
Driving experience
How to not only 134 hp (100 kW, 136 hp) gives phenomenal performance? First, the maximum power is reached close to maximum speed (rpm) from 6200 rpm and maximum torque (172 Nm to 127 lb-ft of honor) is reached at 4200 rpm. This provides a good combination of mid-range pull but also encourages the driver to operate the engine at a maximum speed of 6800 rpm motor. A red LED "change-up light" tells the driver when to shift gears, the point of illumination of the "red line" variable and depend on the speed selected. Implementation of any Lotus Elise is an experience like no other - and the Lotus Elise S is no different few cars can match the delicacy and accuracy of management, accelerator and brake Only Lotus has the relatively soft springs and firm damping to give control of the body .. tremendous experience and exhilarating driving and only Lotus can turn in such performance with such minimal environmental impact in terms of emissions and fuel consumption ..
It all comes down to a mild
Weighing just 860 kg, the Lotus Elise S is not only one fully homologated sportscars in the worlds lightest, but also one of the lightest cars in the world, period! Light weight has benefits for acceleration, the environment, handling, ride comfort and braking. Braking comes from AP Racing callipers at the front and Brembo calipers at the rear linked to 282 mm ventilated and drilled cast iron discs - you never can contact Elise under braked!
The system combines advanced ABS anti-lock system that is very disturbing and most drivers will not even notice its there - if necessary, of course, and even then the system keep a low profile smooth. ABS system is linked to a lightweight pedal box with steel arms and extruded aluminum pedal pads. This unit also has an electronic (drive-by-wire) for the gas engine response faster, smoother and more linear.
Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus plc, explains: "The arrival of our new Lotus Elise S is good news for lovers of Pure sportscars in all contracts for the profitability of the supply offered by the car is not the same and take the beautiful Lotus. Elise range back into the heart of the sports car market to the public. We now have a Lotus Elise to tempt the existing driver or self-MX-5 or MG is quite far from this offering more attractive. They now have the opportunity to get back in the car that is the essence of what we believe, a sports car concrete should be all! ".
