Page 1 of 1 The Elise 111 range uses the K-Series 156bhp Variable Valve Control (VVC) engine and is controlled by the Lotus-developed K4 engine management system. The new 156bhp VVC engine derivative, coupled with the Elise's extraordinarily light 806kg unladen weight further enhances the supercar-crushing performance of the little Lotus. Despite its performance the Elise 111 remains civilised yet fun to drive on motorways or when cruising around. The newly developed Lotus gearbox ratios have been created to maximise the power and torque of the VVC engine giving excellent in gear performance and maximum driver enjoyment whilst offering an ideal cruising ratio. To accompany the new engine and increase in power and torque, the Elise 111 also features a number of important changes. One of the most distinctive features are the new light weight 8 spoke nickel polished giving benefits through reduction of unsprung mass, and the addition of a new F1 style three element rear diffuser improving the overall aerodynamic performance. Three special Elise 111 and Elise 111s graphics are one of the giveaways to the identity of this powerful new Elise. The distinctive Elise 111 graphics are located under each side repeater and on the rear screen. Page 1 of 1
