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.
Lightweight performance has always been close to the heart of Lotus. Colin Chapman was a legend on the formula one pitalane, his machines were tuned to be lightweight, and performance followed close. This penchant for being lightweight didn't stop at the race tracks; it also made its way into machines that rolled off production floors, and the machine we have today is one that sported that lightweight, all-smiles-per-gallon mantra to perfection. Feast your eyes on this 2005 Lotus Elise we have today. With a reported 7,900 miles on its clock and hailing from Powell, Ohio, this is nothing but a good time, all the time.

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.
The Lotus Esprit remains one of the most iconic wedge-shaped sports cars to emerge from the 1980s, blending sharp Giugiaro-penned styling with Lotus’ legendary lightweight engineering philosophy. By 1986, the Esprit Turbo had matured into a genuinely capable exotic car that combined dramatic supercar looks with impressive handling and turbocharged performance. This particular 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo stands out in classic red over a tan leather interior, showcasing the unmistakable proportions that made the Esprit a poster car of its era. Showing approximately 46,102 miles, this example presents as a highly analog and engaging driver’s car with desirable period details including removable glass roof panels, BBS mesh wheels, and a proper 5-speed manual transmission. Few cars capture the essence of 1980s exotic motoring quite like an Esprit Turbo.
The car that famously went underwater in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, the wedge-shaped Lotus Esprit has got its share of fans on both sides of the Atlantic. If you’ve always lusted after one of these stylish cars, we have this fiery red 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo for sale right now in Jasper, Georgia. With its 2.2-liter turbocharged mid-mounted engine, manual gearbox and dual exhaust system, this is a car that begs to be driven at every opportunity. It’s got 71,000 miles on the clock, a beautiful tan interior and even a body-colored removable top! What’s not to like?

The arrival of the fifth-generation Corvette in 1997 marked one of the biggest leaps in the model's history. Built on an all-new chassis with a rear-mounted transaxle for near-perfect weight distribution, the C5 delivered world-class handling while remaining true to its American V8 roots. This 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has 64,481 miles and pairs the desirable 6-speed manual transmission with the legendary LS1 V8 for an engaging driving experience. Finished in Black over a matching Black interior and equipped with the 1SB Preferred Equipment Group, this C5 offers the timeless styling, open-air enjoyment, and performance that continue to make these Corvettes favorites among enthusiasts.
The first-generation Porsche Boxster helped redefine the affordable sports car segment when it debuted in the late 1990s, but the Boxster S took the experience to another level. Introduced with a larger flat-six engine, upgraded brakes, and a more performance-focused chassis, the Boxster S delivered the balanced handling and open-top driving experience that Porsche is renowned for. This 2003 Porsche Boxster S has just 39,580 miles and is finished in timeless Carrara White over a Graphite Grey leather interior. Equipped with desirable factory options including SportDesign 18-inch wheels, power seats with memory, and the Sound Package Plus, this roadster offers an engaging blend of comfort, style, and unmistakable Porsche performance.
The C5 Corvette is widely regarded as one of the greatest performance bargains ever produced by Chevrolet, combining lightweight construction, near-perfect weight distribution, and the legendary LS1 V8 into a package that remains just as rewarding today as it was when new. This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an exceptional example, showing an astonishingly low 9,924 miles. Finished in timeless Speedway White over a Light Oak interior, it pairs classic American styling with one of the most engaging drivetrains of the era—a 6-speed manual transmission. Equipped with the Preferred Equipment Group 2 package and factory polished aluminum wheels, this low-mileage C5 represents a rare opportunity to own a highly original, collector-quality Corvette that's equally suited for weekend drives, car shows, or long-term preservation.
