2011 Lotus Elise 2011 Lotus Elise Preview By Nelson Ireson Car Expert February 16th, 2010 Track-day wonder, fuel-sipping daily driver and one of the most affordable bits of exotica on the road--the Lotus Elise seemingly does it all. All except carry much in the way of luggage space or creature comforts, that is--though the 2011 model year updates bring it a bit more toward the comfy end of the spectrum, with the addition of cruise control. Other updates are primarily superficial, with a new look that's modeled to closer align the car with the new Evora 2 + 2. A new front bumper, lower splitter and reworked headlights with LED running lights give it a fresher look. At the rear, a new bumper and engine cover continue the updates. Fuel economy is improved thanks to reductions in drag provided by the new bodywork, meaning emissions are also reduced. A new 1.6-liter entry-level engine is also offered in Europe, though it's not clear if that engine will make its way to the U.S., where 1.8-liter units are the norm for the range. Other updates include a pair of new alloy wheel options and a new six-speed gearbox for the 1.6-liter engine. Official details and info will be revealed shortly, but in the mean time, we have the photos to pore over. http://images.thecarconnection.com/l...00306566_l.jpg http://images.thecarconnection.com/l...00306565_l.jpg |
when Jeremy, test this he'll say. "Just like Porsche the laziest designers EVAR!" |
meh ....weak, it needs bigger engine and more power |
he looks happy |
the clean lines makes it more sleek and elegant. I like the subtle changes. |
front looks cleaner, but i think the 'bug eyes' was what really make the elise unique |
is it trying to complete with mazda to see who has the biggest smile? |
