Lotus Europa S

Lotus Europa S
A new sporting that does some agreeability of guide the weapon of point; it deals with the "Europe S" (it costs few more than 52.100 European), coupe "exploitable" signed Lotus, that in the thoughts of the planners if you/he/she should see her/it with competing of the caliber of Alpha Romeo "Brera", Audi "TT" and Porsche "Cayman."

In substance, it is an auto done for the lovers of the coupes prestazionali, but that the pleasure of the guide of other times they look for; if you prefer, for the one who loves her/it "Annulled", but it is to the search of a more variation godibiles for the moves of every day.
The "Europe S", strong of a loom tightly allied with that of the "Annulled", of a compartment suspensions seen again in comforting key and of a motor I upset of 2.0 liters from 200 CVs (of origin General Motors, seen already on the Opel "Speedster"), it has the papers in order to offer performances from baby-supercar (according to the House, "0-100" in 5 "8 and over 240 schedules of speed) in a more convincing and deprived dynamic context of electronic (the Esp is not even available to payment) helps; the weight is, as always, feather: few less than 1000 kilograms.
To the steering wheel, the hold relative with her "Annulled" it is perceptible, even if all the more sides "rough" they have been beveled with the purpose to make the least tiring guide: the steering gear, ready and precise, it results less sensitive to the least moves; the suspensions, prone to absorb the asperities of the road; the motor appears fluid and homogeneous in the push, with a consistent couple to low turns, that helps to resort few to the change (besides softer and comforting to use that on the "Annulled").

The endowment of series is exceptionally rich for an auto that goes out of the lines of assemblage of Hethel: inside of skin, I remove with navigator satellitare, double airbag and straight carpet! The finishes are not certain the point of strength of the car, but in comparison to the cabin bare volutamente of the other Lotus, seems here to be on another planet. Also the entry is oddly easy and rather than a backpack, the luggage van can also contain two (small) trolleys!
Starting today, who complains about the excessive one "education" of the sporting ones currently in list it doesn't have excuses anymore: if that that look for it is an enjoyable auto, but able emotions of other times there are not that to try the new sporting Lotus for every day.

Lotus Exige S :only for the thin ones and not too much tall

Lotus Exige S

Coupe sporting 2 places, whose cabin is accessible only if he is thin and not too much tall. It is simply the Lotus of more series performantes ever built, and its name is Exige S.
Externally it needs to have well trained eyes to recognize it. In comparison to the Exige "normal", the side takings of air are in shade with the body shop and specific they are the aerodynamic appendixes of the anterior spoiler and the back extractor, as the sketch burnished of the also looks for in league.

But "Exige S" it doesn't mean alone spoiler and various nameplates. The important novelties are above all under the chest. Lotus Exige S uses the same propeller of origin 1.8 liters Toyota and injection VVTL-the that, thanks to the adoption of a presser volumetrico, disburses now 221 horses to 7.800 turns. How much enough to cover the release from 0 to 100 km / h in as soon as 4.3 seconds. Thanks to the presser, besides, him 80% of the 215 Nm of couple are available to 2.000 turns, reseting the typical voids of power, to the regimes I mediate low, of the inhaled versions.II all to forehead of contained consumptions (declared) to 11 km / liter.

In the respect of the best tradition Lotus, is not so much the specific power to impress, on the contrary the weight of the car compared to the available cavalry. And, in the particular one, 221 horses must deal only with 935 kg.

Exige "S" it also profits of order and seen again suspensions, that make her/it able side accelerations and of braked superior to 1g. The cabin has not by chance been optimized for the use in footstep, with knob of the change to six relationships a lot next to the crown of the steering wheel. The inside equipment is rigorously essential as on few others sporting. Cold, few pleasant, proper for whom looks for the true emotions of guide. In every case some optionals as the conditioner or the gps, are available to payment, but to require could appear him/it out place...

Lotus Elise

Lotus Elise

Lotus introduces for 2008 annulled him of series more

powerful usual, endowed with the motor from 220 CVs

and denominated Elise SC. Countersigned by a new

spoiler of tail and from unpublished you look for in

league, SC Annulled her it climbs on the traditional 1.8-

litre 2-ZZ VVTL-the of origins Toyota, gifted however of

presser volumetrico MP45 realized by the American

Magnuson on basic Eaton and connected in block with

the

According to the data furnished by the Lotus the new Elise SC (903 kg) it is able to accelerate from or to 100 km / h in 4,6 seconds, the 160 km / h in 10.7 seconds and to reach a maximum speed of 240 km / h. To border of these results there is a consumption combined of 9,1 litri/100s km.The SC enjoys some anticipated changes for all Annulled ones her MY 2008, new inclusive ivi airbag, renewed instrumentation with computer of edge to screen LCD and new system of alarm antifurto and immobilizer.The sales will have beginning in Europe at the end of this month.
More power.They will have of whether to rejoyce, therefore, all that impassioned that desired it but they attended with anxiety a lending motor of that four cylinders, from 158 CVs, actually to today point of diamond of the list Lotus.
And that motor has arrived and it has a well precise name: it calls VVTL-the of name and Toyota of last name. Its principal characteristics are the compactness, the lightness and the elevated power it specifies, seen and considered that the 192 colts of maximum power derive from solos 1800 ccs of capacity. The worth of these performances they are to mainly seek in the exceptional one systematizes of varying fasatura of the 16 valves, that gives regimes of motion rotation to this propeller (the maximum power is to 7.800 turn!) and 18.5 kgms of maximum couple to 6.800 turns.

More .e confortsIn comparison to how much actually proposed to today, the cavalry increases notably, but with it a light increase of weight arrives: ABS, radio CD and closing centralized of series, without forgetting the optional climate, they are accessories that weigh but perhaps "they humanize" a car that of the versatility and of the confort has never made a flag.
