Lotus Elise Cars Parts 1

Lotus Elise Cars was originally called the Sprint and shown in a windowless format, but later re-named the Lotus Elise Cars 111S when it was launched at the Geneva Motorshow in 1999. The main difference on this model is that it has the Rover K-series 1.8 Variable Valve Control (VVC) engine which gives 143bhp giving improved performance figures of 0-60 in 5.38 secs, 0-100 in 14.4 secs, and a maximum speed 133mph.

The VVC progressively changes the cam profile, unlike the Honda VTEC engine which is more of an on/off action. These means that it also comes into effect lower down the rev range, giving a wider and smoother power band.

Lotus Elise Cars 111S also features wider 225 section rear tyres and some controversial cosmetic changes such as new 6-spoke wheels, a spoiler, an egg-crate grille, and a carbon effect dash. It also has aluminium window winders and optional Lotus Elise Cars 111S decals.

Lotus Elise Cars was replaced by a 160bhp version of the standard engine named the Lotus Sport 160 in August 2000.
