LOTUS ELISE CR
If the base Elise is not light enough, the even lighter Elise CR should satisfy the focussed driver’s needs. At just 848kgs, it offers a timelessly stylish, lightweight composite body, attached to an equally light aluminium alloy chassis-tub that forms the basis for several other Lotus models. This is is an Elise with focus. Yet, it is sturdy, which allows its suspension to work impressively, resisting body roll but remaining taut enough for the ultimate sportscar thrills, while retaining damping compliance that affords the Elise CR an amazing ride quality for a performance machine. It is Lotus years of experience and irrepressible talent that allow a car like Elise CR to be created.
