Lotus Elan Concept
Set to bring an exciting new level of performance and style to the road, the Lotus Elan offers the perfect combination of breakneck speed and everyday usability. Combining the iconic Lotus look with substantial performance, the Elan pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
The Elan is powered by a 4.0 litre V6 pressure-charged engine capable of producing up to 450 PS and its light weight of 1,295kg gives it supercar-level performance – including a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h.
Available in two-seater or optional two-plus-two seating, the Elan also offers the choice of hybrid technology with KERS – meaning drivers can enjoy exceptional performance with low emissions.
Dany Bahar, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus, said: "If there was ever a car to make you drive the long way home, it's the Lotus Elan. Perfect for both road and track, the Lotus Elan not only ticks all the boxes, it creates new ones too."
The Lotus Elan sports muscular styling, is rigid and ambitious and its ‘best in class’ specification means you don’t have to sacrifice performance for convenience. Production of the Elan is set to begin in Summer 2013, with the car entering the market in Autumn 2013, priced around £75,000.
