Lotus Elise S Start Rev and Accelerate

[rokstar48]

had one of these for just over a year......a blast to drive, a real head turner and ok to use daily as its not that bad to get in and out of once you get used to it. However the engines are unreliable, head gasket went on mine and it cost me £1200 to get it fixed, so because of that I wouldnt touch a pre 2005 model with a barge pole

This is the sexiest car I've ever seen...

[Adrianwesker]

this is the only exotic that I can affort, sure the power isn't much but, the grip and lightweight makes up for it. sexy!

[marchettino]

@Adrianwesker Not so much power, but a great power/weight ratio!

[MrVideoRater1]

I love cars, and love the Elise, but their sound does nothing for me at all. Oh I so wish the Elise had a small lightweight V6 so it's sound quality matched the beauty and style of the car.

[sponge111111]

solar matallic yellow, about 140 bhp, as it is the S, with nio vvt, 111r is 198 bhp,

[gythwulf]

That would be orange, not yellow.

[Nugatron88]

@gythwulf That would be yellow, not orange.

[gythwulf]

@Nugatron88 I guess if I was color blind or had my monitor's saturation set incorrectly it would be yellow. The elise's orange is very light, but it's not yellow.

[Nugatron88]

@gythwulf Its a Golden color, I guess it could be considered orange, but theres a different color thats far more stand out orange.  I would consider this Gold/Yellow 4 out of 5 times

[fiveodude]

Barely a notch above a dune buggy.

[MetalCranium3]

4 banger right?

[Nicolicious91]

Bella!!! Ma il colore è Saffron Yellow o Solar Yellow?

[Prankcafe]

when you see one on the web, you think it looks fucked and you don't want one. But when you see one in real life, dyme.

[musicgamer10]

the first time i ever saw it was in real life and i thought it looked fucking awesome.

[Xbox360Player350]

Man I want to hear this thing in lift...

[gutaplayer]

tail lights dont dim while start. good

[VolvoForLiving]

That's because it's LED, it does actually if you look closely...

[wsbygt]

Lotus and Mini! Two go-kart driving like .

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

i consider elise "girly"

[WretchedDrake]

People say this shouldn't be your 'only car'. But I would have it as my only one if I could afford it. Not like I need alot of storage space in my car and if I do I get friends or family to help move things around.

[ItsRyanStudios]

@WretchedDrake people who drive it as a daily car say it really is fine, ya just have to get used to te lack of luxuries which i could do =D

[Gerberbaby922]

@ItsRyanStudios Im planning on buying an 05/06 Elise next spring and I was going to have it as my only car. But then I sat in one and realized that it would be very uncomfortable to make an daily hour commute in it. And putting that many miles on a car like a Lotus is not a great idea. Im still planning on buying one, I will just need to get a really cheap second car for a daily driver.

[Angel86huang]

@Gerberbaby922 it has a toyota engine, if u doubt about the liability, swap a honda 1.8 b18c in it, then it will be faster and more reliable. many lotus owner swap honda engine in it.

[Vangastl]

yup that rev up is my new text tone

[Lucarex14]

how many hp?

[marchettino]

190hp :)

[Lucarex14]

wow fantastic car!-Yeah

[Pyraziel]

No 135hp.

Elise S: 135hp

Elise R: 190hp

Elise SC: 220hp

S version isn`t in USA

[Pyraziel]

Elise S: 0-60 : 5.9 very good for small engine

[nhmcchw]

If you're going to post something, please make it right. Check your facts and nubmers again!!

[commerceskate]

dang dude, these things dont have that much horsepower...

[Pyraziel]

Yes

[nhmcchw]

Sure the horsepower is low, but do you know anything at all about this car? Do you know its weight?

[Racersbase]

@nhmcchw I still would have a go for the SC version, u can't have enogh power :-)

[2891john2891]

oh! imagine that!

[shadowscreecher]

umm dude? lotus's idea is that if they produce low weight cars with lower horses they will go faster.... and it's been proven. they just choose not to put more horses..... now a lotus with 500 horsepower will wipe ANY car you throw at it

[pojo205]

there's a video of a lotus almost overtaking a turbo vette. The lotus only had around 350hp and the vette had 700+ but the lotus can handle turns like a piece of art.

[hellzone100]

@pojo205 if it had a K20 it would have raped it

[cooldude1875]

@pojo205 and also it barely ways anything so that adds something

[ChristianChaos14]

@marchettino That's the same as my 1998 Nissan Maxima.

[liquidhelix136]

@marchettino Elise S has supercharged 2ZZ engine, 220hp

[Mirkofia]

[ExoticCarsHuntersITA]

[kevinmosleyI]
