The Elise has been updated for 2003 with a range of improvements that will have some enthusiasts suggesting that it's entering middle age! The 'S' derivative now features full leather interior trim and carpets, central locking, electric windows and a sound insulation pack.
The new revised range lines up as follows:
Elise (£22,995)
Elise S (£25,995)
Elise 111 (£25,995)
Elise 111S (£27,995)
Lotus Sport Elise 135R (£27,995)
Listening to suggestions from customers around the world, Lotus has looked into providing a definitive list of ‘wants’ for the Elise to make the range a fully complete package. Not only have the electric windows and central locking systems been developed for the S models, sunvisors and an insulated soft top (which keeps the cabin cool in summer, but retains heat during the winter months) have been added.
In addition to this, interior storage space has been increased with the addition of a stowage net and a 4-speaker stereo system has been included. The windscreen washer bottle has been relocated to the engine bay.
