111R LSD?

[Stu3500]

Hi,

I'm looking at getting a 04/05/06 111R and i had a couple of question i was hoping you could help with.

Does a 111r have a LSD? If not is it something thats needed or recomended for fast road and track driving?

Also, some of the nearer elise's seem to have Traction Contol, when did this come in and would it be on a 111r of this age?

Cheers

Ok thats fine, if lotus dont think exige s's need them, then im sure the 111r doesn't.

Thanks for the quick responce.

I dont think i've ever driven a performance car with out an LSD. The only cars i have driven without are 330d's and when you try get a bit of a drift from them out of roundabouts the inside wheel just spins up. i pressume this is no problem with elise's?

No it's not a problem with Elises, mostly because you don't buy an Elise to drift it. Whilst it's perfectly possible to drift an Elise around a roundabout, it's really not what the car is designed for.

Dont worry im not!

However it is a great way to put a smile on your face coming home in the rain after a crap day at work!
