Release) Lotus Elise Club Racer – the perfect combination of
performance, efficiency and style
Making its debut at the
I.A.A. in Frankfurt 2009, the Special Edition Lotus Elise Club Racer
introduces new and exclusive colour schemes, bespoke interior and
lightweight components all in a world class, high performance and
low emission sportscar.
• 179 g/km CO2
• 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds
• 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds
• Combined cycle fuel consumption: 37.2 mpg or 7.6l/100km
Lotus has taken four of
the classic colour schemes used by Lotus in the 1960s (Elite Yellow,
Carbon Grey, Sky Blue and Old English White) and combined them with
exclusive Club Racer interior design features to give a stunning
sportscar that beautifully morphs function and form.
The firm and supportive
Elise seats are clad with lightweight microfibre comfort pads
perfectly positioned to give the right amount of support with the
minimal amount of weight, but still keeping the body coloured seat
shell partly exposed.
The exterior body colour
theme is carried over to the transmission tunnel and combined with
silver and black paint highlights, bisecting the cockpit and tying
together the whole sporty theme unique to the Club Racer.
Other exclusive interior
design features of the Club Racer are the anthracite anodised gear
knob and handbrake sleeve, the Club Racer (CR) logo hand embroidered
on the seat headrest and the unique anodized aluminium flooring in
the driver’s and passenger’s footwell. The small 320 mm diameter
leather rimmed steering wheel has an on-center marker, enabling the
more spirited driver to quickly and safely identify the straight
ahead position of the front wheels.
The lightweight six
spoke alloy wheels, shod in bespoke Yokohama AD07 LTS tyres are also
anthracite anodised, complementing the key interior components.
Luke Bennett, Director
of Lotus Cars said, “Special Editions of the award winning Elise
have always proved popular with our customers around the world, and
I expect the Elise Club Racer to be no different. We have taken
colour schemes from our past, used on the Elite and Elan in the
1960s and cleverly brought them up to date with a modern feel to the
interior. The whole design package is modern with a classic twist,
which of course matches the peerless ride and handling of a Lotus
and the convertible experience of the Elise perfectly.”
The Lotus Elise Club
Racer is based upon the 134 hp Elise S and goes on sale on 15th
September 2009 priced as set out below.
