Lotus Elise SC

Like driving a street-legal race car

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.

Lightness and power enhances performance

The Exige S260 adds lightness and power to push the performance envelope even further. Lotus Founder Colin Chapman says, “Adding power makes you faster on the straights; adding lightness makes you faster everywhere.” The new 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 with 17 more horsepower.

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.
