The History Of Lotus Elise
When the Lotus Elise was launched in 1996, it was revolutionary. The Series 1 Elise had a groundbreaking design and engineering innovations that changed the whole automotive industry. It was built using lightweight construction techniques that had never been seen before. The bonded aluminum chassis, for example set new standards and inspired other manufacturers to explore similar techniques.
The impact this car had has meant that the Lotus Elise has a devoted fanbase and, since the Elise is longer rolling off the production line, older cars are highly sought after. This, coupled with the fact that the Elise was never produced in high numbers, means that they can be relatively difficult to come by. So if you are in the market for a classic or used Lotus Elise, you may need to spend a lot of time finding the right car for you.
