Lotus Elise

The Lotus Elise is one of the best driver's cars money can buy. Conceived as a modern day Lotus 7 it has all the ingredients that made the 1960's car great combined with all the advances in design Lotus has made over the last 40 years. The Elise has been in production for some time now but hides it's age well. It's bonded aluminium chassis and mid mounted engine are still ahead of their time. Compared to when it was launched however it now has a healthy amount of competition.
