Produced from 1996 to 2021, the Lotus Elise embodied Colin Chapman’s philosophy of “simplify, then add lightness,” standing as a lightweight alternative to heavyweight German and American sports cars. This 2005 Series 2 Elise 111R builds on that ethos with purposeful upgrades that sharpen its already thrilling character. Showing just 25,000 miles, it now benefits from a Katana2 supercharger, a Silent Touch exhaust, and a host of supporting modifications including Nitron coilovers, Wilwood brakes, and Ethos track wheels. Finished in Chrome Orange over a minimalist black interior with a fire extinguisher, harnesses, and a radio-delete plate, this Elise has been carefully honed into a street-friendly track machine. With its blend of factory purity and enthusiast-focused enhancements, it represents both the essence of the Elise and the excitement of a modernized driver’s car.
Finished in striking Chrome Orange, this 2005 Lotus Elise stands out in classic lightweight sports car fashion. Its five-spoke black alloys, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza performance tires, contrast sharply against the bodywork, while a rear spoiler and red tow hook add purposeful track-ready touches. Behind the wheels sit Wilwood brake calipers, and the lighting has been upgraded to modern LED units, ensuring both style and visibility. Despite its focused setup, the Elise remains fully road-legal and, for the brave, even practical enough to daily drive. Inside, the cabin is intimate and driver-focused, featuring two supportive black seats and a body-colored gear shifter surround that echoes the exterior hue. The minimalist design highlights the exposed aluminum tub, which gives the driver slightly more legroom than the passenger—a reminder that this car was engineered with performance in mind. A fire extinguisher mounted in the footwell underscores its track-day intent, while a simple ventilation system and a 111R designation plaque replace the factory radio, emphasizing purpose over distraction. Storage comes courtesy of a small rear compartment rated at 50 kg, perfect for light errands, though the mid-engine layout ensures groceries won’t stay cold for long—making it a car as witty as it is thrilling.
This 2005 Lotus Elise 111R is powered by the 1.8-liter Toyota-sourced 2ZZ-GE inline-four with a Yamaha-designed head, originally rated at 189 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Lotus quoted a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds when new, but this example benefits from a Katana2 supercharger upgrade, significantly increasing output beyond stock figures. Complemented by a Silent Touch exhaust, it delivers added performance while remaining civilized enough for street use, making it a well-balanced, track-ready driver.

Lotus is a relatively small British sports car maker who is well-known for creating some iconic machines over the years. Now, Lotus Cars is owned by the Chinese and produces gasoline as well as electric vehicles. One of their Greatest Hits from the past has got to be the Lotus Elise. Made between 1996 and 2021 across three Series, a mere 35,124 cars were produced in total. The Elise is the total opposite of what you’d expect from a modern sports car. It’s light, comparatively low on power, and diminutive. Yet, it offers driving thrills that few six, let alone seven-figure supercars can match. After all, you can wring an Elise out, threading the needle on winding country roads and listening to its mid-mounted engine roar away, all whilst barely breaking the speed limit (although it will significantly exceed that if you dare). Today’s 2005 Lotus Elise is a fine example because it’s got a supercharged engine for even more power. With under 42,000 miles on the clock, this car currently resides in San Francisco and you’d better act fast if you want it!

Chevy’s evergreen Corvette has celebrated its silver, gold, and platinum anniversaries, and keeps going strong. Introduced in 1953, the Corvette is now in the eighth generation of production and is sold overseas too. For the 2003 model year, buyers could select a special 50th Anniversary Edition to really celebrate this American icon turning a half century. Today’s 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition is one of those special edition cars and it’s done over 62,000 miles to date. That shows how nice it is to drive, as are all Corvettes. Plus, the car packs a manual transmission for extra driver engagement. If you’d like to get yourself a Corvette that’s not only a fine catch but a definite future investment, this California-based car is waiting for you!

BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.
