2 New Lotus models
Thursday August 17, 2006
Lotus Cars have gone back to basics with two of their latest models. The Lotus Elise S gets a Toyota 1.8 litre engine, good for 136 PS and a 5.8 second 0-60mph time. It tips the scales at just 860kg, remarkably light by today's standards.
The GM-powered Europa S provides a less raw Lotus experience, but still delivers plenty of performance. It features a 2 litre turbocharged mill with 200 PS on tap. The 0-60mph time is just 5.5 seconds, thanks to a very low kerb weight of 995kg. The gearbox is a six speed manual unit.
