The Lotus Elise revolutionized the sports car market 14 years ago when the small lightweight agile 2-seat mid engine sports car was introduced. There’s a point where sports cars are just too fast and too grippe to enjoy exploiting on the road. The base Elise had just the right gap between its abilities and that point. By ensuring that the Elise stuck rigidly to Lotus’ core values of performance through light weight, the Elise was able to produce super car performance with city car economy.
