Lotus - Elite S - Sales Brochure - (1996)

The icon, re-invigorated. One of the purest, most engaging sports cars ever built takes a major step forward. Lighter body panels front and rear save 9kg and bring revised aerodynamics along with a fresh, contempory look. The new exposed gearshift is a work of aluminum art in its own right, now as precise and satisfying to use as it is to look at. Our acoustic engineers have added an addictive, motorsport-inspired exhaust note to perfectly complement the race car responses. Together, the upgrades combine to make the Elise Sport even more enthralling on the open road and even more natural on the track. Add further lightness with a huge range of beautifully-finished lightweight options to make your Elise truly bespoke and exclusive. Still the standard bearer for the Lotus approach to going fast, the Elise remains unrivalled and now more desirable than ever. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CHASSIS AND BODY EXTERIOR SPECIFICATION INTERIOR SPECIFICATION ELISE SPORT SPORT: All alloy, 1.6 litre DOHC 4 cylinder, dual VVT-i and Valvematic, 16-valve Lightweight, extruded aluminium bonded chassis structure Lightweight silver or black cast alloy wheels (16” front and 17” rear) Black leather trimmed steering wheel Air conditioning SPORT 220: All alloy, 1.8 litre DOHC 4 cylinder, dual VVT-i, 16-valve with chargecooled supercharger Fully independent double wishbone sports suspension with anti-roll bar Front Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 tyres 175/55 ZR16 Polished aluminum gear knob and leather handbrake sleeve Bluetooth enabled stereo plus two front mounted speakers Rear Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 tyres 225/45 ZR17 Technical fabric sports seats and part leather interior Sound insulation Servo assisted, cross drilled and ventilated brake discs, 288 mm diameter, front and rear Black leather trimmed sill covers Aerodynamically optimised black rear diffuser Driver and passenger airbags PERFORMANCE Max power ELISE SPORT 220 134 hp at 217 hp at 6800 rpm 6800 rpm (136 PS) (100 kW) (220 PS) (162 kW) 118 lbft at 4400 rpm (160 Nm) 184 lbft at 4600 rpm (250 Nm) 0-60 mph 6.0 seconds 4.2 seconds 0-100 km/h 6.5 seconds 4.6 seconds Max speed 127 mph (204 km/h) 145 mph (234 km/h) Max torque Fuel Consumption mpg (l/100 km) Mid mounted, transverse, rear wheel drive Exposed Aluminium gearshift mechanism 6 speed manual gearbox with sports ratios Electronic Differential Lock Urban 34.0 (8.3) 27.4 (10.3) Extra Urban 56.5 (5.0) 47.9 (5.9) Combined 44.8 (6.3) 37.7 (7.5) CO 2 emissions 149 g/km 173 g/km Lowest possible dry weight 798 kg 845 kg Dry weight 829 kg 877 kg Kerb weight 856 kg 904 kg Bilstein high performance dampers, front and rear Eibach springs, front and rear AP Racing twin-piston front calipers and single-piston rear calipers ABS system Driver selectable ESP modes Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) Black soft-top Clear sill stone chip protection film OPTIONS: EXTERIOR AND BODY Hard-top Black Pack (Matt black rear transom, roll hoop cover, mirror plinths/pods & front access panel) Red painted brake calipers PAINT OPTIONS Signature paint Metallic paint Engine start push button Tyre puncture repair kit OPTIONS: INTERIOR AND TRIM Alcantara® trim pack Leather trim pack Tartan trim pack Air conditioning Alcantara® trimmed steering wheel Alcantara® trimmed vent surrounds Alcantara® trimmed sill covers Full carpet Floor mats Interior Colour Pack (Red, Yellow, Silver, Orange or Black) An extensive range of customisation options are available through Lotus Exclusive futher information can be found at LOTUSCARS.COM/EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS: COMFORT AND COMMUNICATION Cruise control OPTIONS: LIGHTWEIGHT AND PERFORMANCE Silver or Black Y Forged Wheels (16" front & 17" rear) Silver or Black 10-spoke Forged Wheels (16" front & 17" rear) Lightweight Lithium-ion Battery Polycarbonate Backlight Glass Titanium Exhaust (Sport 220 only) Two piece high performance brake discs Sport dampers Carbon fibre hard-top Carbon fibre front access panel Carbon fibre tailgate Carbon fibre roll hoop cover Carbon fibre sports seats Carbon fibre sill covers Carbon fibre vent surrounds Carbon fibre HVAC surround Use of the vehicle on track or in a competitive manner is not endorsed by Lotus.
