Lotus Elite – overview
The Lotus Elite is a two-door sports car produced from 1974 to 1982. It was the most expensive and most luxurious Lotus car at that time. Its design is still considered one of the most eye-catching. The drag coefficient was 0.30, which was an amazing achievement for those times. Plus, the car featured unusual retractable headlights. At the same time, unlike most other sports cars, the Elite offered four seats for rear passengers. It was equipped with one of the best engines of the company, a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine with 155 hp.
