Lotus continues its domination on global sports car in the
2010 Paris Motor Show unveiling the
Lotus Elite. The Elite represents that "lighter is better" because it is a hefty, four-passenger grand tourer weighing 3,600 pounds. The reason for its heaviness is its retractable, folding hardtop. Though its heavy it has a good looking, aggressively styled powerhouse. Under the hood you can find a modified version of the 5.0-liter V8 out of a Lexus IS-F. The unit is then massaged to produce 611 horsepower which propels the car to a sub-four-second 0-60 time and a top speed of 195 miles per hour. The
Elite will also be fitted with KERS for a quick boost of recovered energy.
The front mid-engine layout should help balance the
Lotus Elite and make for an exciting driving experience. We expect this car to represent a slightly softer side for the automaker, but that's like saying we expect a bomb to hurt less than a missile. The entire Lotus lineup is poised in attack position, the
Elite just happens to wear clothes from the Big and Tall store.
