The 2009 Lotus Elise continues the tradition of refined motoring with a sublime sports car that handles and performs like a race car. The Elise has numerous improvements installed as standard equipment including a new Lotus Tire Pressure Monitoring System that provides instant warning if there is a puncture or if pressures fall below safe levels.
Other upgrades include a stylish new instrument display with a high-definition LCD message panel, clutter-reducing "hidden until lit" warning and shift lights and customizable display options. An alarm/immobilizer system is also incorporated with central locking functions into a new integrated ignition key design.
The 2009 Elise SC's pure handling and extraordinary performance is like driving a street-legal race car. This multi-award-winning roadster has been given a serious power boost with a specially designed M45 Eaton rotor pack non-intercooled supercharger. The resulting performance is an astonishing 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 0-100 in 10.7 seconds.
In keeping with its role as a supremely fast road car - rather than an extreme track machine - the Elise's throttle response is very progressive yet very direct, creating a measured and refined driving experience. And the fuel economy is an impressive 26 MPG highway.
The 2009 Elise SC is engineering proof that progress is unstoppable.
With unrivaled handling, the new Exige S 240 sprints to 60 MPH in a blistering 4.1 seconds and sails past 100 MPH in just 10 seconds – while also delivering excellent fuel economy of 26 mpg highway.
The roof integrated air inlet scoop directs more air to the intercooler and enhanced front brakes increase braking performance. Other improvements, including variable traction and launch control, allow the Exige S 240 to cater to the individual driving style of its owner.
The Exige S 240 is an ultimate sports car that fits like a racing glove.
The Exige S260 adds lightness and power to push the performance envelope even further.
Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus is attributed as saying “adding power makes you faster on the straights; adding lightness makes you faster everywhere” and this statement is more relevant today than it ever has been. The new 2009 Lotus Exige S260 does both! Through the extensive use of carbon fiber panels to replace the front lower splitter, front access panels at the base of the windshield, roof, rear engine cover, side air intake ducts and rear wing, the Exige S260 crosses the scales approximately 50 pounds lighter than the S 240 yet it also has an additional 17 horsepower on tap to propel it through whatever street scene or track experience you wish to throw at it.
The improved power-to-weight ratio enables the S260 to rocket through 0 – 60 mph in just 4.0 blurred seconds and Lotus’ renowned world-leading chassis dynamics keep the S260 poised through whatever curves you carve it through. The new Lotus Exige S260 is an instrument of pure driving bliss.
