Vehicle Description
Lotus of Bellevue, the Pacific Northwest's Exclusive Lotus Dealer,
is pleased to present this 2006 Lotus Elise with Only 11,357 Miles
From New. Finished in crisp Aspen White (an optional Lotus
'Lifestyle' paint colour) over a Black with Exposed Aluminium
Interior, this '06 Elise is a highly desirable high-performance
sports coupe that's in superb condition throughout and runs/drive
like new. A legend in racing circles, few cars can match the sheer
stripped-down driving pleasure of any Lotus and this Elise is no
exception. With an attention-grabbing presence and great
curb-appeal, Power comes from behind the seats in the form of a
high-strung 1.8L/190hp 4-Cylinder Engine that's backed by a proper
6-Speed Manual Transaxle. As standard, the Elise boasts one of the
finest sports car chassis on the road today, and that claim is
bolstered by the standard Eibach springs and Lotus/AP Racing brakes
with Brembo calipers. PNW car from new that's in outstanding
condition inside and out. This fantastic Elise has just undergone a
thorough pre-sale inspection at our Lotus of Bellevue Factory
Authorized Service Center along with a Complete Detail our Park
Place Auto Salon. This exhilarating Elise is ready to deliver
Lotus' unrivaled driving experience to its next owner.From the
moment you swing open the composite door and drop into the
black-trimmed exposed aluminum cockpit, there's no mistaking the
Elise for anything but a no-nonsense lightweight sports car. Other
than 21st-century necessities like dual airbags, air-conditioning,
and a CD player, there's nothing extraneous inside the cabin. The
dashboard, pedals, and shift knob are all crafted out of aluminum.
The steering wheel is small and purposeful, the seats are lightly
upholstered one-piece composite shells with fore-aft adjustment for
the driver only. Carpeting covers select areas of the interior;
everywhere else the exposed aluminum chassis proudly shows
through.Extensive use of aluminum allows the Elise to achieve its
extreme light weight without sacrificing rigidity. This is most
apparent in the cockpit where the extruded aluminum chassis makes
no secret of its presence, joined by race-inspired billet pedals
and a drilled-out foot stop on the passenger side. Tipping the
scales at a gravity-defying 1,950 lbs., the diminutive Elise
remains faithful to the Hethel company's less-is-more school of
vehicle production. Like the famous Seven and the Elan, lightweight
roadsters that helped put Lotus road cars on the map, the Elise is
built around the same concept of joining an exceptionally light
and, nimble chassis to a flexible and responsive 4-cylinder engine.
With so little mass to haul around, the Elise doesn't need a ton of
horsepower to go fast, huge brakes to slow down or massive wheels
and tires to handle well.With the 111-series Elise models having
been phased out in 2011 and the current range unavailable in the
USA, well-kept examples like this are in high demand and don't
remain available long. This is an incredible opportunity to put a
well-presented Elise in your garage at great price point. Don't
miss out. This Elise has had a rigorous pre-sale inspection
performed at our Lotus of Bellevue factory-authorized service
center.For more information, or to discuss making delivery
