CRed05 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 That's great, so long as they haven't tainted the equation and added weight. Unfortunately the new Elise is heavier. I think I saw somewhere its around 2800-3200lbs. Unlike Audis that keep getting sexier AND lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bruh Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 indeed, they look hot. MSRP? The projected price for this Lotus is $118,500. Just the Facts: 2013 Lotus Elan, slated for a summer 2013 debut, is a closed car powered by a pressure-charged 450-horsepower 4.0-liter V6. This is the third-generation car to use the Elan name. Like the Esprit, it's optionally available as a hybrid. PARIS — The 2013 Lotus Elan, unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, is a sports car, and it's an Elan — but not as we know it. Those with long memories, or a penchant for landmark classic British sports cars of uncertain reliability, may remember the 1962 fiberglass Lotus Elan, which delivered an extraordinary driving experience and provided much of the inspiration for the 1989 Mazda Miata. Lotus produced a successor to this Elan, also in 1989, whose front-wheel-drive chassis dynamics were amazing, if not as much fun as the original's. Both those cars were about being open-topped, small and nimble. This third Elan, slated for a summer 2013 debut, is a closed car powered by a pressure-charged 450-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 with a seven-speed transmission, making it a very different animal from its predecessors, a fact that keen Lotus fans — and there are many — may struggle with. They may also regret its near-cookie-cutter resemblance to the new Lotus Esprit and the smaller Elise. Like the Esprit, it's optionally available as a hybrid, and it's light, too. Its 2,849-pound curb weight allows it a 3.5-second 0-60-mph time and a top speed of 193 mph. Another difference from past Elans (although not the bigger Plus 2) is the provision of two-plus-two seating, which would suggest that the current Evora, also a two-plus-two V6, may not have a particularly long life. The projected price for this Lotus is $118,500. Inside Line says: This new Elan, which is quite different from its namesakes from the 1960s and 1990s, would appear to be a tight fit within a range that includes a pricier, more potent Elise, the new Esprit and today's Evora, unless that model is doomed. And Lotus fans will question its right to use the Elan nameplate without a convertible roof. — Richard Bremner, Correspondent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yikes. That's like 3 C6's. They are pricing themselves out of the market. Yeah fuck that. They just ruined the entire brand for me. I thought highly of them for offering a great bare bones sports car for 40-60k. They doubled that now just because it looks like a mini lambo doesn't mean you price it as a mini lambo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I always thought that the Elise was overpriced. $60K for a go-kart with a celica motor? It doesn't really surprise me that the Elan is overpriced too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
