The Elise which forms part of the next generation of sports cars that Lotus is lining up for a 2015 launch has got some more light thrown on it by way of the new promotional video that its makers have made available.
Specs wise, its not something that can exactly be termed earth shattering though there is also no ruling out, the new Lotus Elise does mean business. The sports car derives its power from a 2.0 liter four pot engine that churns out a total of 320 HP of peak power along with 330 NM of torque. The engine incorporates the latest start stop technology and can propel the car to 60 mph from standing still in a quite respectable 4.3 seconds. The sports car can reach a top speed of 167 mph.
Speaking of the Elise, Dany Bahar, CEO at lotus has this to say: “The design of the Elise 2015 is perfect for the target market, it’s young, strong, confident, verging on ruthless, it mirrors the engineering and technology. It’s the next generation Elise for a new generation of Lotus drivers.”
The Elise was only just revealed at the Paris Auto Show and will carry a price tag of $55,000. Further details of the sports cars is expected to be revealed during a later date! So keep watching.
