Lotus Elise And Exige 1995-2020: The Complete Story

Product description

Named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Lotus’s owner at the time, Romano Artioli of Bugatti fame, the Lotus Elise was launched at the Frankfurt Show in 1995. In the subsequent twenty-five years, it has not only established itself as the embodiment of what Lotus stands for, it retains a unique place in the international sports car market. No other manufacturer came up with a car to seriously rival the Elise, nor the Exige, in terms of handling dexterity on both road and racetrack, and it aptly characterizes the definition of a sports car. Written in Johnny Tipler’s inimitable style, with 390 colour photographs, this book includes: A detailed evolution of the Elise and Exige, including full specification tables Interviews with key individuals involved in their design and development Elisa Artioli on her namesake, past and future Motor sport adaptions and successes Driving experiences on road and track
