Elise 20Th Anniversary

Panoramica Caratteristiche Esterni Specifiche Opzioni

The Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Special Edition celebrates the unveiling of the iconic sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1995. 20 years ago, the Lotus Elise revolutionised the sports car world, setting the benchmark for handling, purity of the driving experience, lightweight and efficiency. Its pioneering and advanced bonded aluminium chassis was a market-leading technological innovation at the time and over the years has improved and evolved and remains core to the Elise’s exceptional performance today.

The Elise 20th Anniversary, with its lightweight aero-optimised, composite body, is powered by a 1.8-litre supercharged engine. It reaches 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed of 145 mph (237 km/h). The benefit of this light weight is that the Elise 20th Anniversary consumes just 5.9 litres / 100 km (47.6 mpg) extra urban and emits just 173 g of CO2 per km.

Weighing just 914 kg, 10 kg less than the Elise S, the Elise 20th Anniversary is the sports car that both enthusiasts and newcomers to the brand will desire. Lightweight, efficient and totally pure in its driving experience, its benchmark in handling remains the envy of the sports car scene. Additional equipment compared to the Elise S comes as standard and is designed to reduce weight, including lightweight matt black forged wheels, lightweight centre console in body colour and lightweight sports seats in leather or Alcantara with colour coded stitching. A sport mode is also included which increases throttle response and alters the traction slip thresholds allowing the driver enhanced control before intervention.

The car provides a choice of four classic exterior colours - Classic Blue / Green / Yellow / Silver. Stunning matt black forged alloy wheels. Unique interior represented with body coloured, lighter weight interior centre console and with the choice of Black leather or Alcantara, colour-coded stitching on seats and door cards. Lightweig sports seats with colour-coded seat belt eyelets. Matt Black distinguishing exterior trim is avaialbe, with Auxiliary driving lights comes as standard. Unique Elise 20th Anniversary decals externally and on dashboard stereo blanking-plate. Sport suspension makes it a trully track-ready weapon for a weekend.
