Lotus Elise 111S

(from Lotus) Having the right equipment adds to the pleasure of any task, and when the task in hand involves rising to the challenge of the open road, there's only one tool for the job – the Elise 111S.

More potent cousin to the standard Elise, the 111S adds extra power, a close short-ratio gearbox, and wider rear wheels and tyres to an already intoxicating formula. With its technically advanced 1.8-litre VVC engine producing 143bhp, the 111S packs a punch normally associated with cars of double the horsepower and three times the price.

Recognisable by its rear-mounted aerofoil, six spoke road wheels, driving lamps, faired headlamp covers, 'smoked' front indicator lenses, different front grille, sports seats and carbon facia trim, the 111S ensures maximum enjoyment wherever you drive.
