Vehicle Description
Low mileage 2006 Lotus Elise. Finished in vibrant Chili Red
Metallic over a Black with Exposed Aluminium Interior, featuring
factory Leather Trimmed Sport Seats. This Elise has an excellent
presence and great curb-appeal. Powered by a high-strung 1.8L/190hp
4-Cylinder Engine, backed by a proper 6-Speed Manual Transaxle,
this Elise is a highly desirable performance coupe. Only 19,280
two-owner miles from new. Factory options consist of Touring Pack,
Hardtop (and soft top). The desired Touring Package adds creature
comforts to the tune of leather upholstery, power window lifts,
additional sound deadening and floor mats. 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. Power comes from behind the
seats in the form of a 1.8L four-cylinder engine that is backed by
a proper 6-speed manual transmission. Outstanding condition inside
and out.From the moment you swing open the composite door and drop
into the leather-trimmed 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
