Lotus Elise
Overview
The 2009 Lotus Elise continues the tradition of refined motoring with a sublime sports car that handles and performs like a race car. The Elise has numerous improvements installed as standard equipment including a new Lotus Tire Pressure Monitoring System that provides instant warning if there is a puncture or if pressures fall below safe levels.
Other upgrades include a stylish new instrument display with a high-definition LCD message panel, clutter-reducing "hidden until lit" warning and shift lights and customizable display options. An alarm/immobilizer system is also incorporated with central locking functions into a new integrated ignition key design.
Performance
The Elise's pure handling and extraordinary performance has always been like driving a street-legal race car and that tradition continues with the all-new Elise SC. This multi award-winning roadster has been given a serious power boost with a specially designed M45 Eaton rotor pack non-intercooled supercharger.
In keeping with its role as a supremely fast road car, rather than extreme track machine, the Elise's throttle response is very progressive yet very direct, resulting in a measured and refined driving experience. The performance is astonishing - 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, 0-100 in 10.7 seconds. And the fuel economy is an equally impressive 26 mpg.*
