The British automaker will soon start selling its new
Lotus 2-Eleven sports car. Officially launched at the 2008 international motor show in Geneva, the vehicle will be, perhaps, the cheapest
Lotus ever.
Equipped with a 190 hp 1.8 liter naturally aspirated engine (I guess this must be identical to the DOHC and
VVTL-I four-banger the
2007 Lotus Elise comes fitted with) and weighing no more than 720kg, the 2-Eleven takes only 4.3 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill and stops accelerating at 140 mph (225 km/h).
It will have a set of semi-slick
Yokohama tires and a double wishbone suspension just like a real race car.
The manufacturer promises that the
Lotus 2-Eleven will be available in the UK at a price of £27,995 MSRP including VAT and will cost €34,695 excluding tax, duties & delivery charges for the rest of Europe.
