Elise 111 No longer deliverable
The Elise 111 range uses the K-Series 156 hp Variable Valve Control (VVC) engine
and is controlled by the Lotus-developed K4 engine management system.
The engine management system has been specially tuned to give maximum power
all the way up to the top end of the rev range and combined with the Elise’s
lightweight design gives CO2 emissions of just 163g/km. The new 156 bhp VVC engine derivative,
coupled with the Elise’s extraordinarily light 806 kg weight further
enhances the supercar-crushing performance of the little Lotus. In performance
terms reaching 0-62mph (100km/h) in 5.1 seconds and 0-100mph (160km/h) in an astonishing 14
seconds and a top speed of 132mph (212km/h) this powerful new version of the award winning Elise
should prove all but unbeatable, even by sports cars costing several times as much.
Despite its awesome performance the Elise 111 remains civilised yet fun to
drive on motorways or when cruising around. The newly developed Lotus
gearbox ratios have been created to maximise the power and torque of the 156 hp VVC
engine giving excellent in gear performance and maximum driver enjoyment whilst
offering an ideal cruising ratio.
To accompany the new engine and increase in
power and torque, the Elise 111 also features a number of important changes.
One of the most distinctive features are the new light weight 8 spoke nickel
polished giving benefits through reduction of unsprung mass, and the addition of a
new F1 style three element rear diffuser improving the overall aerodynamic performance.
