1971 Lotus Elan Sprint

The 1971 Lotus Elan Sprint is a distinctively designed British sports car, manufactured in its final year of production. This vehicle boasts a lightweight fiberglass body over a steel tube chassis, weighing just over one tonne, and stretches approximately 3.6 meters in length. Powered by a front-mounted, twin-cam inline-four engine from the Lotus Twin Cam series, it produces around 120 horsepower at 5800 rpm, ensuring spirited performance for enthusiasts despite its modest power output compared to today's standards. The Elan Sprint is noteworthy for its distinctive wide-winged design at both front and rear ends, which house wider tires than the standard Elan, reflecting Lotus' pursuit of improved handling dynamics over raw horsepower in this iconic racing-bred road car.
