Introduced in 1996, Lotus Elise gave a new life to the historic British marque. It certainly is the world's most affordable supercar. It feautures a 1.8lt.120bhp Rover engine which, combined
with the minimal weight of 675kg, which results from the use of advanced materials, propels the car to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. Lately, many conversions have appeared in the market for those who think that 120bhp are not
enough. Power can be easily boosted to 180bhp and with a starting price of 20,000 pounds ($30,000) you should not be wondering why the Elise is already a classic. |
