Release w/images - attached.
June 15, 2005 (Duluth, GA) -- Lotus Cars has announced development of a
lightweight (1100-1200 lb), open-topped, variation of the aluminum chassis
Elise. The Lotus "Circuit Car" is a logical expansion of the Elise/Exige model
line that reinforces company founder Colin Chapman's "performance through light
weight" mantra and was designed strictly for track day and club racing events.
Elise-derived aerodynamic composite body panels provide substantial downforce
while the standard 190hp, 1.8L VVTL-i engine generates sub four-second 0-60
times. A supercharger option will also be available, good for 0-100 times of
9.0 seconds. Production of about 100 units per year at the company's Hethel,
England headquarters is scheduled to begin in December, 2005. Price has not yet
been determined.
