The Lotus Elise Series 2 is a two-door sports car produced from 2001 to 2011 in Hethel, United Kingdom. This mean-looking racer runs with a 5-speed manual transmission powered by a 1.8L naturally-aspirated in-line 4-cylinder engine delivering a maximum power of 122 PS and 168 NM of torque. The top speed is around 125 MPH, and its 0-60 MPH acceleration time is only 5.7 seconds, with a fuel consumption of 7.4L/100Km and a curve weight of 1565 Lbs. This exotic Elise S2 has a price tag of around 22,000 dollars on the market today.
Due to its incredible handling, top-notch performance, and relatively low price, the Lotus Elise Series 2 is among the most successful and popular British sports cars in recent years. It is a rear-wheel-drive design with a double-wishbone, coil springs, anti-roll bar front suspension, an independent double-wishbone, anti-roll rear suspension system that supports 225/45 R17 performance tires both front and back. The ventilated discs with ABS are the standard brake system included. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Lotus Elise Series 2 is its lightweight chassis made of bonded aluminum, contributing to this strong performer's results on the racetracks worldwide.

NOTES DE L'ANNéE
2001: The Series 2 Elise debuted with a redesigned chassis and body, offering improved safety, aerodynamics, and a slightly more refined interior. It retained the 1.8L Rover K-Series engine, producing around 118 hp in standard models. The new aluminum chassis, bonded rather than welded, made the car lighter and stiffer, maintaining Lotus’s focus on handling.
2002: Minor updates were made, including improvements to interior trim and optional equipment like upgraded seats. Lotus introduced a few limited-edition variants, including the Sport 135, which had a modified Rover engine producing around 135 hp for improved performance.
2003: Lotus released the 111S variant, featuring a VVC (Variable Valve Control) version of the Rover K-Series engine, boosting output to around 156 hp. The 111S also came with revised suspension settings, larger wheels, and minor styling changes, improving its performance credentials.
2004: This year marked a major update as Lotus switched to Toyota engines due to reliability concerns with the Rover units. The standard Elise was now powered by a 1.8L Toyota 1ZZ-FE engine, producing 134 hp, while the high-performance Elise 111R (Elise R in some markets) featured the Toyota 1.8L 2ZZ-GE engine with VVTL-i (variable valve timing and lift) technology, producing 189 hp. The 111R also introduced a 6-speed manual transmission and improved brakes, making it a significant upgrade in power and reliability.
2005: Lotus introduced the Elise Sports Racer limited edition, which featured unique colors, a sport suspension pack, and exclusive interior trim. The Sports Racer retained the Toyota powertrain and further emphasized performance tuning and style.
2006: The Elise received a minor facelift, with updated headlights, revised front clamshell, and slightly modified rear styling. Lotus also introduced the Track Pack as an option, which included adjustable Bilstein dampers, stiffer anti-roll bars, and track-oriented suspension settings for improved handling.
2008: The Elise SC was introduced, featuring the supercharged 1.8L 2ZZ-GE engine, producing 218 hp. This model became the most powerful Elise at the time, offering quicker acceleration and better mid-range power. The supercharger provided more accessible performance without changing the car’s lightweight focus.
2010: Lotus introduced another minor facelift, including revised bumpers, a new front splitter, and updated rear LED lights. Aerodynamic improvements helped reduce drag, and the interior received slight updates with improved trim and materials. The lineup was simplified to streamline the options and emphasize the Elise’s performance focus as it neared the end of Series 2 production.
2011: The final year of production for the Series 2 Elise saw no significant changes, as Lotus prepared for the introduction of the Series 3 Elise. Special editions like the RGB (Roger Becker) Edition were released to honor Lotus’s former director of vehicle engineering, featuring unique color schemes and special badging.
