Lotus have revealed new Elise which should go on sale in 2015.
The Elise comes in both coupe and roadster form like its predecessor. The car has a much sharper and aggressive look thanks to its new headlights, floating taillights and shark inspired grill. The car should also be more improved than the previous model thanks to the longer extruded aluminum chassis.
Power for the Elise comes from a supercharged 2.0 liter four cylinder engine that is hooked up to a robotized manual engine and makes 320 hp and 330 Nm of torque. That should allow the 1095 kg Elise to hit a top speed of 167 mph and do 0-100 km/h in under 4.4 seconds.
"The Elise you can buy now is still a fantastic car, make no mistake, Lotus remain very proud of it, but this is a natural progression for us moving forward. The Elise 2015 will also be class-leading in terms of performance and efficiency but it will do more than that it will take the Elise model to the forefront of its class across the board. The design of the Elise 2015 is perfect for the target market, it’s young, strong, confident, verging on ruthless, it mirrors the engineering and technology. It’s the next generation Elise for a new generation of Lotus drivers."
The car will go on sale in 2015 with a price tag of £35,000 ($55,000)
