Overview of 2005 Lotus Elise For Sale by Owner

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!

Exterior and Interior

This 2005 Lotus Elise wears a brand-new orange paint job because, why not? After all, a car like the Elise looks best when it’s making a statement, and that statement must be made with a bright color. Of course, the car’s distinctive design helps loads, but a bright color never goes amiss when it’s adorning a cheerful car like this one. Black alloy wheels add some contrast, while the car’s top is removable targa-style for an open-air driving experience when desired. Now for the interior, and this car comes with two seats (as do all Lotus Elise variants). Here, the seats are upholstered in maroon leather. The interior is suitably sparse for a stripped-out sports car, and it’s a pretty intimate affair. In fact, the passenger gets less legroom than the driver, so choose your passenger wisely, or go it alone. However, there’s air conditioning and a radio for some entertainment when you’re forced to drive at crawling speeds in city traffic. As for cargo space? Seems like a ridiculous question but the fact is, there is some, in a small trunk behind the engine compartment.

Engine

This 2005 Lotus Elise uses a supercharged 1.8-liter 2ZR-FE unit from Toyota. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, it delivers a surprisingly stunning performance to behold. Zero to sixty in 5 seconds? Yes please.

2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z16 Grand Sport Convertible 2LT

For Sale
ASK: $49,298
Miles: 27,742
Estimated: $496.89/mo

The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport carries a nameplate rooted in American motorsport history, originally introduced in the 1960s as part of Chevrolet's ambitious racing efforts. Revived for the sixth-generation Corvette, the Grand Sport combined the naturally aspirated LS3 V8 of the standard Corvette with wider bodywork, enhanced braking capability, and performance-oriented chassis components inspired by the formidable Z06. This 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible, showing just 27,742 miles, is finished in beautiful Crystal Red Tintcoat over a Cashmere leather interior, complemented by a Beige convertible soft top. Its desirable factory specification includes the Grand Sport Performance Package, 2LT Preferred Equipment Group, six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, chrome Grand Sport wheels, red brake calipers, and a full-width rear spoiler kit. Additional appointments include heated leather seats, a head-up display, Bose premium audio, and touchscreen navigation. Powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LS3 V8 producing 430 horsepower, this Grand Sport combines the muscular proportions of Chevrolet's track-focused Corvettes with the refinement and versatility of an open-top grand tourer. With its low indicated mileage, elegant color combination, and desirable factory options, this C6 Grand Sport offers a particularly appealing interpretation of America's iconic sports car.
