Lotus Elise 111S Review: Roadster mayhem with this one!
The Elise was named after then Lotus' chairman Romano Artioli's granddaughter, "Elisa". If you didn't know that, then you seriously do not know what you are missing out on with this particular Lotus.
I would. I would buy this car in a flash if I had the $188,000 for it. Trackday fans are likely to crave a little more in the high end just to keep up with the big boys on the straightaway, but for road use I'd hazard that the S is the best Elise to date.
Hell, it’ll even do 200km/h on the highways when called for! The Solar Yellow paintwork is to die for, and is the lustful colour that I’ve been searching for all my automotive life.
This car is a serious rival to cars like the MX-5 and Audi TT, and it will outperform them in any corner, any given day. My take on this is, if you haven’t experienced what a Lotus is, then you’ve wasted your life away.
Go on and have a drive in one of these cars. After that, I can’t be held responsible for that smug smile that takes shape on your face everytime you hit a tight cornered, entrance ramp of the expressway at twice the legal speed.
