Here it is, a production car from Lotus. Lotus ellipses with a sporty and aerodynamic design that looks cool and stylish. In addition, the Lotus Elise is considered as the most environmentally friendly sports car. want to know more about the Lotus Elise?



Since 14 years ago, Lotus has introduced a car that light, agile, with a carrying capacity of two people, and placing the machine between the cab and rear axle (mid-engine). One is the Lotus Elise SC. As a high-performance sports cars, Elise SC to make changes in its body design. And Lotus also made other changes in this new sports car output.

Elise SC equipped with mechanical heart supercharged 2ZZ-GE Toyota produced with the technology variable valve timing and lift-intelligent (VVTL-i). This supercharged engine capable of electronically controlling the load time of the air-valve caps, to distinguish the volume of intake air flow as needed. Fuel valve setting was done similar, so that the achieved efficiency.

The first impression when we see it is, this car looks sporty, like a racing car with a fixed forward the character and style. The changes seen on bumper, hood more, Äúlangsing, Äù, and the thin A pillar that makes the field of view on the Elise is more extensive. Updates also penetrated the headlamp with the 'day-time running light' technology LED (light emitting diode). LEDs are also applied as a direction indicator lights.

This feature of this car is performance, style, and delight. Speaking of performance, the engine also used in some variants of Toyota Corolla has a power 217 hp at 8000 rpm and torque of 210 Nm at 5000 rpm. With an empty weight of 870 kg Elise, and 6-speed manual transmission, Elise SC is able to accelerate from standing to 100 kpj in 4.6 seconds (claimed).

When we feel the initial acceleration by doing a kick-down, our impression about the Elise is so deft response. Jolt like a sports car is very pronounced and we are quite satisfied with what lies behind this car bonnet. Roaring sound in a supercharged engine shows that this car has the potential to, Äúmelahap, Äù street with rear-wheel drive.

For the control, while the speedometer needle touches 100 kpj, we make the shift fast lane. The result, quite accurate. Lotus is known for expertly dispensing chassis, and enough experience in racing, including F1. Symptoms of understeer or 'staggered' Elise is definitely not a character who is one of this class with the BMW Z4.

Although satisfactory performance in its class, the Elise SC is claimed to have an efficient fuel consumption. Figures combination (in and out of town) that is achieved is 11.6 MPA (claims). Besides saving fuel consumption, the New Elise SC currently has the lowest CO2 emission levels for the sports car in the world, ie, 199 g / km. Outperformed the Ferrari California which is currently touted the lowest emission levels, ie 270 g / km

Another variant of the Elise SC is the Elise S. The difference is only on the supercharged engine and a more stylish exterior appearance (SC). However, until recently the Indonesian Lotus Elise SC just off of the power and torque to outperform Elise S (non-supercharged) with power 134 hp at 6800 rpm, with maximum torque of 160 Nm at 4400 rpm.

Meanwhile, in terms of appearance, Elise SC embrace the 'convertible' (open roof), which also becomes the value of pleasure to be stylish.

Interior Elise SC has enough entertainment devices, namely single-din head unit with 4 speakers, each set 2 above the dashboard and two seats behind the wheel. Head unit that can be connected to the iPod / IPAD to make the trip more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the distance between the pedals and steering wheel position is less compatible because the pedals are too far away, and stir the upright position. In addition, the seat feels hard Probax embedded. It is reasonable, considering that this car is a sports car. However, access in and out to the cabin feels cramped for the average adult.
