2005 Lotus Elise

The sleek 2005 Lotus Elise embodies the essence of British automotive craftsmanship and racing heritage. Manufactured in its debut year for series two production, this two-seater roadster boasts a lightweight aluminum chassis wrapped in iconic Elise bodywork. Its distinctive characteristics include an aerodynamic design with rounded headlights and taillights, along with a lengthy power-to-weight ratio – a testament to Lotus' unwavering commitment to handling excellence. Under the hood lies a lively 179 horsepower Toyota 2ZZ-GE four-cylinder engine, mated to the rear wheels via a sporty five-speed manual transmission. The Elise's interior is spare and driver-focused, with an aluminum dash featuring classic round gauges and minimalistic controls, all contained within a remarkably compact, low-slung body that weighs in at a mere 2,064 pounds (935 kg).
