Product Description

The Elise saw the return of the genuinely exciting sports car. This was the first Lotus for a generation to truly revive Colin Chapman's ideals, proving a worthy successor to the seminal Lotus 7. The Elise was the first modern sports car to generate real enthusiasts, tempting many classic car fans to change their allegiance to this no-compromise contemporary classic. Nearly 11,000 Elises have been built since its 1995 launch and an ongoing programme of development ensures that it still retains its status. This volume charts the complete Elise story, including interviews with the car's designer and development engineers. It contains information on buying, owning and running an Elise and features details of aftermarket accessories and modifications. Also included are appendices detailing model specifications, performance data, production figures and full listings of dealers, specialists and clubs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into these already legendary cars, 19 Jun 2004

By	S J Whittley (Edinburgh, Lothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This book is packed with fascinating information on the Lotus Elise. With input from the guys who designed the cars it gives insight into the design inspirations and evolution.

It compares the Elise to other cars in it's class pointing out where the Elise both wins and loses points (but wins overall obviously!)

The book also includes some info on Elise motorsport, modifications and an excellent buyers guide written in conjunction with the guys at Bell and Colvill.

This is a great book which has to be praised for not only well documenting everything that is good about the Elise, but also points out some of the not-so-good bits too.

I bought this book about a year ago and was impressed with the amount of info it contains about the S2 - I now look forward to a new revision containing the new Toyota-engined additions to the family and the new Exige!
