CO2 figures for k series

[jonny350]

Anyone know the co2 figure for the k series in a 2004 elise? I don't know! Thanks.

If its your car, Look in the logbook, should say on the LH-side?

Not my car yet....... I just want to know the figure so I can work out the future cost of the car tax. Or is it too low volume for co2?

a Rover engined one is in nearly the lowest tax bracket so dont worry

[corinnemartin]

no more than 225 gkm

[jonny350]

Great, that sounds good - thanks!

[corinnemartin]

errr a Rover engined Elise isnt over 200g of Co2 ...nah...waaayy less ...I think a S2111S 156bhp one was best (I had mine originally as a company car) and is 160g or less and 40mpg easily ....defo one of the most economical sportscars out there

Yep with a little more cash to develop the k would have been a world beater - typical UK lack of development investment opportunity lost - big, big shame as it is a stonkin' engine

Not quite:

Non VVC is 177g/km = band I next year - £205
111S is 163 g/km = band H - next year £175

Note that a lot of the data sources for C02 are wrong for the Non VVC and quote it as 163g/km.

Its still lower than the Yota which will cost over £300 in 2010 to tax.
