Lotus Elise SC

April 29th 2008 06:00

British sports car maker Lotus has released a supercharged version of the award-winning, iconic roadster, Elise, for 2008.

The Elise SC features an advanced supercharged 1.8-litre VVTL-i engine that bumps power up to 163 kW (up 63 kW from the entry-level Elise S) and 212 Nm of torque for blistering performance - 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds; 0-160 km/h in 10.7 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h.

Boasting a power to weight ratio of 189 kW/tonne (the Elise SC weighs in at a lightweight 870 kg), the track demon is also able to return a very economical combined cycle of just 8.5l/100km.

Aerodynamic improvements have also been made to the car with a new rear spoiler and unique alloy wheels complementing the original yet dynamic design.

With twenty standard and optional paint colours to choose from, buyers also have the option of two upgrade packages. The 'Touring Pack' ($8000) features a full leather interior; carpet set; auxiliary front driving lamps; noise insulation panelling and soft-top; interior stowage net; leather handbrake lever gaiter; trinket tray divider and aluminium retractable cup holder; padded leather door panels; leather trimmed centre console; and uprated Alpine CD/MP3 stereo with iPod connection.

The 'Sport Pack' ($7000) is recommended for track enthusiasts only and features a switchable traction control system; Bilstein and Eibach sports suspension; twin oil coolers; lightweight forged alloy wheels; and ProBax sports seats.

The Lotus Elise SC is on sale now from $104,990 (excluding on road costs).

Lotus' new entry level 2-Eleven

March 10th 2008 05:30

The original Lotus 2-Eleven with a supercharged 1.8-litre engine developing 188kW was launched at last year's Geneva Motor Show and also made an appearance at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney in October 2007.

Almost a year after its launch, Lotus has introduced a new entry level 2-Eleven to the Lotus range of pure-bred sports cars. Sporting a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine developing 141kW from the Elise R, the lesser-powered 2-Eleven still springs from rest to 100 km/h in roughly 4.5 seconds courtesy of its 720kg lightweight body.

The new entry-level model also comes with a list of options to enhance driving dynamics and performance on a racetrack. They include - two limited slip differentials (LSD), 70L bag fuel tank and a removable competition steering wheel (FIA approved), a carbon fibre tonneau cover, four piston front brakes and either an ‘Aero’ or ‘Sport’ accessories pack.

No word yet on whether this model will be available for Aussie enthusiasts but prices start from €34,695 in Europe.
