The 2011 Lotus Elise has raised the bar of excellence and standard of performance with its distinctive features that are typical of an industry-leading mid-engine sports car. 2011 Lotus Elise scores high with its gritty stance on tried and tested features that have propelled it to new heights while staying the course in its focus on the brand's evolving design and development templates. This means that we will still see the distinctive character of the old Elise, but blended with significant enhancements. One of the major modifications of the 2011 Elise model is the new bumper, access panel and front clam. The front end also boasts of a pair of exquisite headlamps with LED lights, giving it a distinctive and vibrant look. Its sporty look is extended to the rear end which is highlighted by its unique engine cover with "dual spine" design and a new bumper design that is topped by an aggressive diffuser. Its solid and sturdy look is further enhanced by a set of lightweight alloys with an updated modern multi-spoke design which is exclusive for this Elise model.
Seamless Mix of Power and Efficiency under the Hood
On top of this dominant exterior appeal, the 2011 Lotus Elise is also powered by an advanced 1.6-liter dual VVT and Valvematic engine, which meets all regulations under EURO 5. This Lotus powerhouse is a perfect combination of power and fuel efficiency, making it the top choice in the mid-engine sports car category, especially for those looking for the adrenaline rush without getting that heavy punch on the pocket. This new Elise power plant delivers a strong kick with extreme efficiency and even tops the performance ratios of its Elise-S sibling by 23% while retaining the same output figures of 160 Nm torque and 134 horsepower.

Evolutionary Elements of the New 2001 Lotus Elise
The 2011 Lotus Elise boasts of a new 1ZR-FAE gasoline engine which is designed and manufactured by Toyota for Group Lotus. This 1598 cm3 engine has demonstrable advantage in terms of performance and efficiency through its dual VVT-I and variable valve lift assembly. The engine is provided with intuitive control capability in regulating the volume of airflow through timely closing and opening intake valve. This provides for higher efficiency in fuel consumption while maintaining optimal engine power and performance. Top end power output is achieved by this Elise model at the point of maximum engine speed which is at 6800 rpm, and maximum torque, which is equal to 160Nm, is achieved at 4400 rpm. This means that you are able to enjoy the perfect combination of middle range pull and maximum permitted engine speed which is at 7000 rpm. Just like with the earlier Elise models, the 2011 Lotus Elise comes with 3 up-shift light indicators. These light indicators are activated when you get close to the rev limiter. When all 3 light indicators are activated, they will flash to warn the driver that he has almost reached the rev limiter, and it is time to change gear. For this version of Lotus Elise, there is an upside variance in the height of the engine cover of about 34 mm in order to give space for the taller engine with its added Valvematic component. With this reconfiguration requirement, Lotus engineers have found the perfect opportunity to make the necessary design enhancements on the cover panel of the rear engine so that it perfectly matches the design theme of the front end of the sports car.
