My new Elise
Took delivery about 4 weeks ago, so it's not that new any more
Here's a photo I took yesterday. Unfortunately I still don't know how to take a nice picture with lots of sunshine...guess I'll never learn
This is in fact my second Elise. The first one, which I bought in 2007, had no longer any factory warranty left (only 2 years at Lotus ) and it already had 40.000 km on the speedometer... so with the weak British pound I thought it might be a good idea to sell it and buy a new one to get 2 years warranty and 0 km again
Everything worked out just fine, thanks to the VERY kind and professional dealer I had the pleasure to deal with (Lotus London)!
In addition to the same setup my last Elise had, I opted for a few Motorsport options for track use. Some of these are
- CUP wheels
- AP-Racing Big Brake Kit (this is awesome!! it's like throwing an anchor!)
- 2-way-adjustable Öhlins suspension Kit (also amazing!!)
- Carbonfibre Race Seats (oh I love these!! and they are light )
- Harness Bar with SCHROTH harnesses
- and the usual Sports Pack (Traction control, etc)
I'm very satisfied with the current setup. I'm still looking to find another exhaust. The stock one sounds too ...decent
I'm going to a track event tomorrow with a couple of friends. Time to try out the new Öhlins and the brakes!!
