Default 2007 Lotus Elise



So I take it that most new cars will have big air intake fronts like the new Audis and the Mitsu Evo 10. The bigger air intakes make the cars look very aggressive and I like the sharp edges of the side vents on this new Elise.

Hmm.. Elise, or A sub-Esprit replacement

The same pic was in this month's evo magazine, with a story of a new model, larger than an Elise, but a category below the Esprit.

I do not believe that it is the 2007 Elise, but it is a different car... that's just my view

thanks what a nice article vexor although i got a bit dissapointed with the looks of the elise....IMO also i dont think necessary the increase of the size and the room of it...and im concerned that the car will weight about 80kgs more......see what happens later....

Hrm it looks kinda ugly... but it'll probably grow on me.
There's an Evo 10? Man I gotta search around for that.

I think the Esprit has one of the best profiles of any exotic. I hope they don't replace it with that abomination.

The picture isn't really very clear IMO and it reminds me a bit of an S2000.

But I suppose we can thrust on Lotus to do a good job with it's most popular model!!
