History

Romano Artioli was Chairman of the Board of Bugatti in the nineties and shaped the "Italian era" with the EB110. In 1993, he took over Lotus, then owned by General Motors. The name Elise was derived from "Elisa", Artioli's granddaughter. She sat in the car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show for the unveiling of the Elise. Or rather, she stood, because she was only 3 years young. Today, Elisa drives her Elise around the world - her adventures can be followed on Facebook and Instagram.

The small, naughty Elise made an impact in 1995 like no other sports car. The aluminium chassis, which weighed around 70 kg, was glued instead of riveted, resulting in high torsional stiffness. The 120 hp from the 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine did not look powerful on paper, but allowed the 700 kg lightweight to play in the supercar league. The classically designed plastic skin has lost none of its charm to this day and is pleasing to the eye from every perspective.  

In 2001, Lotus presented a revised model with the S2 (Series 2), with later evolutions adding more power, but also more size and weight. The Lotus DNA can be experienced in every Elise model, but among purists the first series is the most desirable.
