Typically, motor journalists a good idea of the cars that will be showcased at motorshows long before the show starts. This was not the case when Lotus showed off their new cars. They went because completely unexpected blanket of a brand new Lotus Elan, which no journalists expected, but many enjoyed.Much more powder
The original Elan was a small, lightweight sports car that was in production in two stages, first from 1967 to 1975, then from 1989 to 1995. The engine in the last generation was a 1.6 liter petrol engine with turbo, which was acquired Isuzu and modified by Lotus. Performance low of 162 hp, and zero to one hundred were done on about. 6.5 seconds.
New Elan as Lotus unveiled this week is significantly more powerful motor. We're talking about the fact of 450 horsepower from a 4.0 liter V6 engine with turbocharger and dobbelkløtsjet gearbox from Toyota. Now the zero to a hundred done away in just 3.5 seconds. As we have already seen the other cars that Lotus has presented, would a hybrid system such as KERS be in place.
Mid-Range in Lotus
Price-wise and size wise is Elan to find the middle of Lotus's new model range. Lotus has predicted a price of approx. NOK 500,000, without fees. Elan is the starting point accommodates a driver and a passenger, but two tiny rear seats should be possible to order as an option.
