684-Mile 2000 Lotus Elise 340R

The Lotus Elise model has been widely regarded as one of the finest and purest expressions of motoring from around the world. Produced by Lotus from 1996 until its successor was introduced in April 2019, it is considered to be a true British racing car by enthusiasts worldwide due to its lightweight aluminum construction that reduces vibrations and noise which would otherwise affect performance levels drastically. One of approximately forty left-hand-drive examples ever made available stateside sits at just over six hundred miles traveled since production in 2000. It stands ready for purchase through a popular auction platform, boasting a striking black-over-silver finish paired exceptionally well with classic leather interior options including both black and blue upholstery accents throughout the cabin space for occupants. With its lightweight aluminum core structure providing high stiffness resulting in better handling capabilities on winding roads or racetracks alike, this rare find offers an unmatched driving experience. At its heart resides a Toyota-sourced 190 horsepower 3.5L V8 engine situated at the rear end of this agile vehicle capable of reaching top speeds nearing 170 mph under controlled conditions making it truly one of the most exhilarating experiences anyone can have behind a wheel. It was initially brought into America's shores by Lotus themselves, but now finds itself in the hands of someone who acquired this incredible piece of automotive history around four years ago after they purchased directly from Bring A Trailer listing posted online back in October 2017.
