2011 Lotus Elise

2011 Lotus Elise show

Slightly re-design, a basic cost of the new Lotus Elise is now twenty-seven thousand four hundred and fifty pounds in the UK. In the U.S., a new Lotus Elise is a more powerful car, but the price from forty-seven thousand two hundred and fifty U.S. dollars. Before you go, and that £ 27.450 approximately equal to 40,000 dollars in the United States, consider this: the British have the ability to buy a Lotus Elise around the same price as the Nissan 370Z. If only the same is true for us. British payment less a simple Lotus Elise than a BMW 135i - the reverse of the story for the U.S. consumers.

I do not care about the reason; the cost of manufacturing and sales, manufacturing shipments in the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom before the larger open boat across the Atlantic to sell some widely disseminated dealers. I just want to .... I wish the Lotus Elise is a high value proposition here, it is there.

Compare a Nissan 370Z and the Lotus Elise is not so different comparing apples and oranges. Japan's V6 engine is the engine of a brutal, driving pleasure in a "I'm the boss" kind of way. The other is designed in Hethel and at the base UKDM form, using only the 1.6-liter 134 horsepower. Lotus Elise a project, the road as unindicted co-conspirators weaving flow and peristalsis and dexterity; allows its drivers to feel every crack in the asphalt. In fact, the user can select different UK driving environment at the same price for North American consumers should be green with envy.

Green, you say? 2011 Lotus Elise 1.6 only 155 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Using U.S. gallons of fuel economy with the EU cycle, the Lotus Elise 2011 38.3 miles of cars. So enter the ring as a lightweight, Lotus Elise, even if "only" 134 horsepower, less than six seconds to accelerate to 60mph acceleration. Yes, Nissan 370Z faster, but still far less efficient. EPA ratio manual transmission 370Z 21 miles per gallon.

But I must point out again that this is not a comparison test of the Nissan 370Z and 2011 Lotus Elise 1.6. Both cars seat two. The internal Z-axis with the necessary technology; Lotus would rather you do not require luxury. Claim by an external source, the Lotus Elise is the best handling car in the world. Nissan 370Zs handler, yes, but so much progress with the grip, with soft little manipulation.

Imagine back to back test drive to know the monthly payment, will be almost the same. Lotus will use less fuel, 370Z will make you feel comfortable. Nissan 370Z to power, are you out of the corner, such as the airship is 332 horsepower, Lotus's Elise can lead directly through the bottom with the throttle.

Lotus has no plans to demonstrate Toyota's 1.6L engine, its North American lineup of Elise. Hard to blame the small Malaysian-owned company. Its sales drop in the bucket of our coast is what challenges need to install a complete establishment of the North American sports car. A miracle, but in the strength of the market may be reliable, evoke, badged with the high price of British exchange certificates and efficiency side.

Lotus Sports Cars Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar

Proton-owned and British-based sports car maker Lotus has announced the Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar (pronounced One Twenty Four). Based on the Evora road car, it is powered by a mid-mounted Toyota V6 powerplant. The engine is race-tuned and can output over 400PS, depending on race regulations. The power unit is linked to a 6 speed sequential transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. It can weigh less than 1,200 kg, again depending on race regulations, thanks to an aluminium chassis, very strong lightweight forged aluminium wishbones and lightweight composite and carbon fiber panels.

Lotus Sports Cars Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar

The Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar has been developed from the award-winning Evora road car and is built to FIA regulations and safety standards. Based on the standard Evora road car, the Evora Type 124 (pronounced One Twenty-four) will make its 24 hour racing debut at the ADAC Nurburgring 24 hours race. According to Lotus, the Evora was designed for racing from the start and this made it very easy for the team to convert the Evora into a racecar, thanks to the mid-engine layout, stiff bonded aluminium chassis and lightweight forced aluminium wishbones for the suspension.

The Type 124 (pronounced One Twenty Four) Endurance Racecar is the next step in the evolution of the Evora. The car will make its 24 hour racing debut at the ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours which provides a great test for the Evora’s performance, efficiency and durability under tough and demanding endurance race conditions.

The Evora gets a race-tuned version of the Toyota V6 mated to a 6-speed sequential paddle shift racing gearbox, and it now produces over 400 PS which is well over the 100 PS per liter ratio. I wish they’d listed out more specifications as to the specs of the engine – I dig this kind of stuff. In stock form, the Evora makes 280 horsepower from its 3.5 liter V6 engine, but even for the road car its said that a supercharged version could come later putting out over 400 horses.

At the heart of the Lotus Evora are fundamental racecar elements: mid-engine layout, high-tech and super-stiff extruded and bonded aluminium chassis and very strong lightweight forged aluminium wishbones. All these elements mean that it is a natural evolution from the road going Lotus Evora to a competitive endurance racecar.

From the outset the design team had intentions to take the Evora racing and the chassis was designed with this in mind. Endurance races are the perfect events to showcase the efficiency, handling and durability characteristics that have been fundamental to the concept of the Evora.

The Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar has a race-tuned version of the mid-mounted Toyota V6 engine, with power increased to over 400 ps (depending on race regulations). Vehicle mass is expected to be reduced by up to 200 kg, bringing the weight of the racecar to less than 1200 kg (depending on race regulations).

Further changes for the Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar include a six speed sequential paddle shift racing gearbox, full FIA specification roll cage, FIA-compliant 120 litre ATL fuel system, FIA fire extinguisher system, competition carbon fibre rear wing, diffuser and front splitter.

The racecar is fitted with AP Racing 6 piston callipers front and rear, with a race-tuned Bosch ABS system, 4-way adjustable dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars. The racecar runs on 18” rims shod with Pirelli racing slicks and the wheels widths have been increased over the roadcar to 9 ½ J on the front and 11 J on the rear.

Loads of goodies are added to the car – AP Racing 6 pot brakes on both front and back, a race-tuned Bosch ABS system, 4-way adjustable dampers, adjustable anti-roll bars, 18 inch wheels (nice and wide 9.5 from and 11 at the rear) with Pirelli slicks, a full FIA rollcage, an FIA 120 liter ATL fuel system, FIA fire extinguisher, yet weight is cut down from the production car to under 1200kg depending on race regulations. This is thanks to the use of carbon fiber extensively in the rear wing, diffuser, font splitter, and body panels.

The aerodynamically efficient Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar body design, made from lightweight composite and carbon fibre panels, remains predominantly unchanged from the road car, with the only modifications being to the lower sections of the front and rear clamshells and the side sills.

Luke Bennett, Director of Lotus Cars Limited, said, “Motorsport has been in our blood ever since our founder, Colin Chapman, built the first Lotus back in 1948. We are proud of our motorsport history, which includes victories in Formula One, Le Mans, saloon car, rally car and sportscar racing around the world; more recently, we won the British GT3 Championship in 2006 with the Lotus Exige. The Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar is from the same unique stable and we expect it to be a competitive racecar when we enter various endurance races next year.”

Roger Becker, Vehicle Engineering Director for Group Lotus Plc said, “Every Lotus car is designed to be at home on the race track as well as the road, and the Evora is no different. Designed primarily as an everyday road car, the Evora’s lightweight and stiff structure, its aerodynamics and performance means that it is perfectly suited to taming race tracks around the world, and we are looking forward to seeing the new Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racecar line up on the grid for the 2010 season.”

The racecar is expected to compete in a number of endurance races in 2010/ 2011 forming part of a factory-supported race program. The races that are targeted are: The 2010 ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours (Nürburgring Nordschleife, Germany) in May 2010, Merdeka Millennium 12 Hours (Sepang, Malaysia) in August 2010, BritCar 24 Hours (Silverstone, UK) in October 2010 and the Dubai 24 Hours (Dubai Autodrome, UAE) January 2011.
