| Description | Lotus Elise Cup 250 - Cold Start & Revs, Full In-depth Interior and Exterior Walkaround. The Lotus Elise is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined roadster conceived in early 1994 and released in September 1996 by the British manufacturer Lotus Cars. The Elise has a fibreglass body shell atop its bonded extruded aluminium chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension, while keeping weight and production costs to a minimum. It is capable of speeds up to 240 km/h (150 mph). The Elise was named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus and Bugatti at the time of the car's launch. In February 2010, Lotus unveiled a facelifted version of the second generation Elise. The new headlights are now single units; triangular in shape they are somewhat larger than the earlier lights. The cheapest version in Europe had a 1.6 litre engine to comply with Euro 5 emissions, with the same power output as the earlier 1.8 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp). The 1.8 litre Elise comes standard with a Magnuson R900 supercharger making 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp). The 1.6 litre version was discontinued in 2018. The 2011 model was the last offered for street legal sale in the United States when the waiver from the United States Government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for Lotus to build and sell cars in the US without smart airbags expired in August 2011. It was also the only Elise to use the Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine in the 2011 model year. At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Lotus revealed a high performance version of the Elise called the Cup 220. The Cup 220 is a more track focused and hardcore version of the standard Elise. It has the following specifications according to a 2015 Top Gear road test: Engine: 1.8 litre supercharged Toyota 2ZR-FE Inline-4 Transmission: 6-speed Toyota EC60 manual with sport ratios Power: 217 bhp (162 kW; 220 PS) at 6800 rpm Torque: 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) at 4600 rpm Acceleration: 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.2 seconds Top speed: 140 mph (225 km/h) Weight: 932 kg (2,055 lb) (dry weight) Downforce: 125 kg (276 lb) at 140 mph (225 km/h) At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Lotus revealed the high performance version of the Elise called the Cup 250. The Cup 250 is a more track focused and hardcore version of the standard Elise. It has the following specifications according to Lotus: Engine: 1.8 litre supercharged Toyota 2ZR-FE Inline-4 Transmission: 6-speed Toyota EC60 manual with sport ratios Power: 243 bhp (181 kW; 246 PS) at 7200 rpm Torque: 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) at 5500 rpm Acceleration: 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.9 seconds Top speed: 154 mph (248 km/h) Weight: 884 kg (1,949 lb) (dry weight) Downforce: 125 kg (276 lb) at 140 mph (225 km/h) In October 2017, Lotus unveiled a hardcore version of the Elise called the Elise cup 260. It is inspired by the two hardcore variants of the Evora and Exige line up, the sport 380 and the GT430 respectively. It features the double taillight units and rear wing from the Exige Sport 380 and the Lotus 3-Eleven respectively. Power has also been uprated and is now 250 hp (186 kW; 253 PS) thanks to a revised supercharger. Other changes include increased top speed, acceleration, low weight and high downforce due to added aero elements. The Elise Cup 260 has the following specifications according to Lotus: Engine: 1.8 litre supercharged Toyota 2ZR-FE Inline-4 Transmission: 6-speed Toyota EC60 manual with sport ratios Power: 250 bhp (186 kW; 253 PS) at 7200 rpm Torque: 265 N⋅m (195 lb⋅ft) at 5500 rpm Acceleration: 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.8 seconds Top speed: 151 mph (243 km/h) Weight: 862 kg (1,900 lb) (dry weight) Downforce: 180 kg (397 lb) at 151 mph (243 km/h) In March 2017, Lotus announced the special edition 'Sprint' models of the Elise. For the Elise Sprint, Lotus used several weight-saving techniques to cut the car's weight down to 798 kg (1,759 lb). To achieve the 40kg weight saving, some body parts are made in carbon, as well as the seats. The backlight glass is made of polycarbonate, and the lightweight battery is a Lithium-ion model. Wheels are the usual size, but forged instead of cast alloy. The Sprint can be had with either a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine, or a 1.8-litre supercharged engine, available for the Sprint 220 version. The former has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 5.9 seconds, while the Sprint 220 can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.1 seconds. Dampers are uprated, as on the Elise Cup models. The series 3 Lotus Elise first appeared as a design study alongside the Lotus Esprit concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show as the "Lotus Elise Concept" in the autumn of that year, and was set to be launched within the next couple of years. The car was heavier than the production model of that time, and had a considerably more powerful 2.0-litre inline-4 engine. The production model was then unveiled with many changes, including the downsizing of the engine to 1.6 litre and 1.8 litre (supercharged). |
