Lotus Elise Sport 160

To use Lotus speak, The Sport 160 model is a high performance derivative of the Elise, aimed at customers requiring an increased level of dynamic specification for use on road or track.

The first 50 Sport 160 cars have undergone Single Vehicle type Approval (SVA) testing, and are factory built with catalytic converters and 'Sport' exhaust mufflers to produce 160 PS. Subsequent cars are Whole Vehicle Type Approved (WVTA) and are factory built with catalytic converters, 111S exhaust Mufflers and dual intake air cleaner/muffler assemblies to produce approx. 150PS. These cars may be readily converted to 160PS specification at customers expense. Prior to July '00, all cars were fitted with sport suspension (LSS) and upgraded seats, both of which became factory fit options after this time.

The difference between the Sport 160 and the standard Elise which the engine is based on are, Modified inlet and Exhaust ports, optimised compression ratio, new inlet and exhaust camshafts, VVC type cast alloy inlet manifold assembly, Modified airbox, 45mm diameter fabricated 4-2-1 exhaust manifold(as 340R), Oil cooler.

Visually, the Sport 160 has Lotus Accessory 'race' wheels (6J front, 8J rear) with 185/55R15 and 225/45R16 tyres. The Sport 160 has a 111S rear aerofoil with added wedge shaped plinths to raise the height. The Sport 160 comes in 2 forms of WVTA versions. The Sport 160 and the Sport S160. The latter comes with the LSS, and racing style seats
