Lotus
Elite Concept
The
Lotus Elite, the first taste of what's to come from Lotus in the future. Look
up elegant in the dictionary and you'll find variations on the following 1.
dignified grace in appearance, movement, or behaviour, 2. superb taste in
design, style and 3. something elegant; the ultimate refinement.
The
ground-breaking new Lotus Elite is exactly that. It's compact yet chic body is
elegance incarnate. It's not only exquisitely elegant, in keeping with Lotus'
core values, it's a car of substance incorporating some of the very latest
technological innovations Lotus has to offer. The slick retractable hard top
version and the optional use of hybrid technology with KERS are typical
examples of Lotus tailoring technology to deliver perfect performance.
This is an innovative, exciting GT that will set a
new benchmark in design, performance and emissions. And it's not all about
sleek lines and stunning bodywork with this particular 2+2, what hides beneath
this shark like exterior perfectly does the aesthetics justice. A front-mid
positioned 5.0-litre V8 engine delivering up to 620 PS meaning drivers can expect to
go from 0-100 km/h in approximately 3.5 to 3.7 seconds.
