My buddy Gil Smith and I did the video in Michigan where I bought the car, It was a week old when we decided to do the video and break it in. We didn't have a camera car. The shots are out of the side doors of a van during a Lotus meet. I brought the car back to LA where I tricked it out. My true mistress was my 1965 Lotus 26R. I had MWE (Don't ever use them) build a 2 litre injected Cosworth BDP with rally cams producing 262 BHP @ 8,500 RPM's.
another thing I want to mention is I saw a Exige that was a Targa.
The hard top was removed.
I think it was an exige cause , if i remember correctly the back engine was covered up with no rear window to see through. It might be an elise with a wing attached though.
Not that I want to waste my time with some punk on the internet but for anyone else reading this thread that wants clarification...
A huge detail I left out is that it is a 2005 (not brand new), BUT it only had 3800 miles on it!. It has both pacakges, so for 36K it was still a GREAT deal. Everyone thinks it is brand new.
Still don't believe me? Call Topline Auto In Burligame, CA. Ask for Jason (the salesman).
My point, Elise, lovers...they are out there and very affordable!

Thanks for the thunbs down dude, that was real mature, and for sayin you dont wanna waste your time you sure wrote quite a lot of details dont you think ?? enjoy your car kid im sure your made the right choice on your part of the decision
"Fucking Idiot", "Fucking Liar", and not getting your facts straight (you can't get a 1-3% loan unless it is a special through a dealership...exotics require bank loans and the best most can get is 6% otherwise) earn you a thumbs down, man. I answered to the masses so that they still realize the elise is an affordable and awesome car...not that I am a liar who doesn't know what he is talking about. That's all. Sorry about the punk comment. Later.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha dude relax kid im only messin with you,i know elise is an affordable car im lookin to get one but i have some choices i need to make first, either mercedes porche or lotus so and you can get a 1-3% interest, i used to for BostonSportscar a new dealership out in weston mass so it depends to the seller and the credit of the buyer but anyones dude i think its a great car so have fun with it ok, latter
was going to buy one,got a 230 hp RX-8 instead,because i need a car for every day,with a boot and back seats etc.someday though,when i can afford a car just for the weekends.....
I bought an Elise a month ago and LOVE it. Takes corners better than ANYTHING. It is so fun to drive and plenty fast. Not too mention it is one of the best looking sports cars ever.
Long story short...36K (nice price), I dropped 11K as a down payment. I have great credit and got a 7-year loan. I pay only 430 a month. Insurance isn't "that" bad but I can't tell you for sure how much as it is a group plan and I recently got another car.
As long as you have decent credit and buy a used Elise, they are MUCH more affordable than they look!
Not especially when their production costs are so high. Elise was good for its time but the car was not progressive enough. There are many cars that I see on the road and in competitive motorsports that are much capable than the Elise. I think people have to move on and change the 'performance through lightweight' motto to something else. Change a new car completely, don't make a new model with the same aluminium tub ie. Europa (which is a still born GT wannabe).
Actually 'C3POisgay' is quite right. I used to own a 111S, did my driver's training with Alastair, visited the factory, had a long chat with Clive Chapman, I find the company and the cars they make OVERRATED. Simply because of MONEY. When its parent company PROTON is in financial difficulties its not going to be easy for Lotus to come out with new models.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
At least they changed the engine but i have seen it on track days with evos, scoobys and souped civics. elise driven by a pro and it can't even keep up with these imports. we love our cars in the USA and all the BS lotus boasts about how good it is? Pick a copy of Import tuner mag March 2006 lotus shoot out with imports. friggin shit doesn't even come close to the imports on the track.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious - LOTUS hahaha why is it that lotus owners try to compare their friggin elise to bigger cars i wonder. must be the size of their johns! they're insufficient down there and try to pass the elise as a super car...which is not. the 111R still has the same alu tub from Hydroa Aluminium.
Unless you've driven a Lotus, you really are in no position to comment. I've owned my Elise 111R for 2 years. Had NO trouble with it(due to Toyota drivetrain). I Had a 911 before that and the Lotus made the Porsche feel dull, heavy and slow-witted. I still get excited about driving it, in fact; I think I'll pop out for a blast now....See ya!
sportscar weight, lotus elise, means ALOT - some of the 3000-3500 sportscars, even though they have more horsepower, can't match with the elise feather weight of under 2000 lbs.
not only because of weight, but the Elise is purely in a class of its own
yep, the exige is the hardtop version of the elise. Because it has a solid body frame above, there's less movement in the frame, which means that the exige handles better. It also has a different rear, which includes a large spoiler. Also, the exige has more options, including the S version which has 220hp and the 111s version which is track only, and has 256 hp (it has a supercharger).
Its not chassis stiffness that MIGHT help the Exige handle better, its aerodynamics. They are both equally stiff bodies. The Exige body generates 100 pounds of downforce at 100mph. The roof and windscreen, in fact, can support very little weight. The sector111 katana supercharger kit can be added to the normally aspirated Elise to make up for some of the hp difference. These cars handle great and are still top shelf in handling.
What?! the cayman S is a POS, it's just the less ugly version of the bastard child boxter...tsk tsk. You should have shown him your mighty NA 1.8L I-4 by burning his ass with 100 less bloated ponies. Size only matters when your performance is shit.
Give it a break in period of 1000kms. Don't touch the high cam too often during that, keep it under 6400 rpm. Get an oil change at 1000, then slowly start running the car harder for the next 1000kms, inching up to 8500. At 2000kms you're good to go for flat out racing. Had mine at the track a few times now and it's just unreal. Just never let off the throttle in a wet corner, she bites. ;)
Cool, thanks. I'll check it out. Haven't felt the 'need' to join any forums yet, at least technical ones, due to the fact that this car actually works all the time. :) My old Esprit turbo was something of a different story hehe. Still an incredible machine though, timeless. That's the problem with Lotuses, after you've driven one nothing else ever feels right.
Nice Video, I will own one one day, for the time being I will just have to stick with my Rover Metro which has a Elise 1800 16v solid cam engine in it :D:D
I've owned my Lotus Elise for coming up to 2 and half years now and yes the Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious comment was something that was mentioned to me when I bought mine but I've only heard of problems appearing in this car if is left in the garage pretty much like anything and not driven regularly. I drive mine nearly everyday and LOVE IT still to this day. For the money there is nothing in its class.
I'm from the south, and I've only seen one in my city. I'm living in Japan now, and I've seen only one here. My dad considered buying one, but didn't, but I've pretty much decided that will be the car I buy when I get home. The combination of looks, power, and price, well, it can't be beat.
Lotus Elise unreliable? It's one of the best handling cars in the world, it's super fast, it's surper light, it has a unique chassis, and it's a hardtop :)
Don't bother with the S2k, my sister has one and it's just a slightly better convertible. The Elise though .. prepare to be seduced, as they say. Get the latter.
I Have drivin a S2000 and a Elise and its got to be the lotus anyday ok so no elec roof or windows no power steering but the way it shifts it has to be the lotus
from the reading ive done the elise has not had any major issues, the drivetrain is made by toyota so you would expect that to be good but so far i do not see complaints about the other components aside from the soft top
what a machine,obesity is the enemy,so true,thats why corvettes are so slow,and this thing could probably beat one round a track too,considering the exige beat a roush mustang,which had twice the power and was developed by an company that runs 5 cars in the nextel nascar series
Oh my god, that's such a great ad for the Elise! If that aired where I lived, there would be so many more on the road. And you can travel long distances in them. We took ours from Los Angeles, through Arizona, New Mexico and finally up to Santa Fe in a winding one week trip. It was the best trip I've ever been on. Truckers and motorcyclists seem to be the biggest fans of the car.
It's the most sincere car ever created. You know you cannot travel long distances, you know the trunk has enough space only for a cheeseburger and a coke and that your butt will ache like hell after hitting a bump. Even so you would still buy it. I know I would. Way to go Lotus!

The car segments make me think it's film from a Lotus meet - a real commercial would have better camera stability.
Still, awesome vid.
