Supercar Spin Archives - Lotus Elise R

A new side feature for Supercar Spin, the Supercar Spin Archives! We have spent quite a bit of time experiencing some great sports and supercars over the past few years, so we decided to delve into the Archives, dust off the footage and bring it to you mid monthly.

This month we bring you the Lotus Elise R. This is the most powerful naturally aspirated model in the Elise range, and brings enough power coupled with the legendary Lotus handling and levels of grip that make this car famous.

Thanks for watching.

@wuziduzi Yes your right, when I was out in the field recording this there was a mix up of the 'with a passenger and all wets included weight' I used as a reference. Good to see your paying attention :)

Did he say a Porsche 911 weighs 1800kg?

@supercarspin

Nevertheless nice report on the Elise, it doesn't get much attention elsewhere. In my opinion the Elise is the only car on the market filling the gap between the refined sports cars (>1100kg and ridiculously priced) and the rough streetracers (<800kg and not suited for everyday use), not only weightwise but also regarding comfort and design. I wish there were more cars in this category!

@supercarspin I had to rewind a few times, because I wasn't sure if I got it right. Although a Turbo Convertible comes frighteningly close to 1800kg (EG-guidlines), but a real 911 in my eyes has a roof, RWD and a naturally aspirated engine and those weigh around 1500kg.
