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.
Exterior and Interior
While you could enjoy your Lotus Elise on the road, this 2005 Lotus Elise with its red exterior is one that factors that in but leans more towards pleasure on the race track. The clean exterior features some neat upgrades, which include aluminum wheels and an Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Rear Wing for added downforce. As we mentioned previously, Lotus is all about pushing the envelope in terms of lightweight performance. Step into the black interior of this 2005 Lotus Elise, and that mission is taken ever more seriously. The seats have been swapped out for racing seats that cut down on weight. You will also find a Simpson 4-Point Race Harnesses for added safety. The interior cabin is also mostly stripped to be more lighter and uber cool upgrades like Alpine CDA-9833 CD Stereo with Removable Faceplate blend in with the factory interior components.
Engine
Sports cars are nice and all, but they can sport hefty price tags when they bite back with repairs and maintenance. The Lotus Elise, however, sports a trick up its sleeve in terms of what it brings to the table. Pop open the hood of this 2005 Lotus Elise and what you will find is a 1.8L inline four performance powerhouse. The trick up this machine's sleeve is that its motor is built by the masters of reliability and affordable motoring: Toyota. The Z series engines replaced the Rover motors and helped unlock more performance without the downsides. If that wasn't good news enough, you would be delighted to know that this machine channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission, giving you complete control of your drive experience.
