New USA Car concept

2013 Lotus Elan is a athletics car with powerful in generation by Lotus in Excellent The united kingdom in 2013 with brilliant creativity to be able to have the Energy 450 bhp / 336 KW and 465 Twisting Nm / 343 ft lbs with DCT 7 Rate ​​Automatic Gear box, Evaluation of Lotus Elan is here with Specifications and Images, If you experienced this car you can buy it at the recognized Lotus seller, cheaply.


Lotus Elan is the center of the new line-up. There is a high-performance athletics car, this much is clear, it is a Lotus after all, but thanks to some brilliant innovative developments, the impetus must be functionality.

The unique Lotus Elan from the Sixties is rear again. Now around though it’s operated by a 331kW 4.0-litre V6 able of catapulting the English speed from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.5 mere a few moments. We are discussing Mercedes and Lamborghini efficiency results here!

Lotus says the Elan is more than just another quick Lotus, it’s realistic too. Available as a 2+2 different, the Elan is designed so that it can be the major car of its operator.


2013 Lotus Elan designed more muscle and ideal peace, serious and addicting, and got a best in college engineering will be adequate for this car. Elan also provides an optionally available function with KERS multiple engineering.

Expected for launch in the later aspect of 2013, the design is still a few decades away, however, with such amazing efficiency results its challenging not to get energized. Powered via the rear-wheels, the Elan forces its power through a seven-speed Dual-Clutch Indication.

The first new Lotus since the iconic Lotus Elise made its debut in 1995, the Lotus Evora sports car should be on the market is currently the only 2 +2 mid-equipped. Powered by Lotus developed 3.5-liter V6, 280 hp, and weighs only 1350 kg, the Lotus Evora promises breathtaking performance. In preliminary testing around the famous Nürburgring, the Lotus chassis engineers report that it is extremely agile and fun to drive - even if the full development disguise that hid the precious beautiful lines prying motor-industry paparazzi.

In addition to excellent performance and exemplary handling, the Lotus Evora offers a more detailed properties of Lotus existing smaller four-cylinder models. The elegant interior is elegantly trimmed and its equipment includes contemporary features such as an advanced touch screen multimedia system and power door mirrors sometimes.


As one of the roles of the Lotus Evora is to attract new customers to the Lotus brand, much attention has been paid to its ease of use. Doorways bigger, taller and narrower sills make entry and exit from the cab less athletic undertaking than it is in Lotus is smaller sports cars (Elise, Exige, Europa and 2-Eleven), while the house design is can accommodate two 99-percentile (6 ft 5in tall) American men in the front seats.

The factor of convenience "of the Lotus Evora extends to less obvious areas of the car. For example, the entire front structure under the skin is a high-tech aluminum sacrificial modular, which is attached to the main extruded aluminum tub. This modular unit is designed to deform for maximum safety and reduce repair costs in the event of a frontal collision.

The Lotus Evora has been designed with global automotive regulations in mind, and future derivatives are planed, these include, among others, a convertible.


Lotus Evora will be hand made and built on a dedicated new assembly line within the production facilities for advanced Lotus Hethel in the east of England, capacity limitations will restrict production to approximately 2000 cars a year, ensuring the rarity of the dynamic new sports car and exclusivity.

Style or function? Have both ... Designed in-house by Lotus Design, as elegant and sporty uses fluid forms and clean surfaces to communicate velocity, agility and sophistication. Low and wide with modern cab forward proportions, muscular rear haunches and function optimized hip air intakes this is clearly a serious mid-engine sports car that skilfully hides the practicality of its two plus two capability.


Input and output, for example, dictated a minimal "step" to enter the Lotus Evora. We just cut the surface under the door and created a unique and spectacular piece of sculpture that strengthens the position of the car and its ease of use.

Elsewhere, aerodynamic considerations for drag down force and cooling had significant but positive effect on the overall shape and details such as air intakes. The desire to create balanced down force, that increases cornering performance led to the adoption, by now, "signature" top exit radiator valve, race car inspired diffuser and "floating rear wing". Drag limitation, drove the dramatic tear fell cabin and sinuous plant gave the car more muscular rear shoulder and forward refinement appropriate for this market segment.


Courtesy lights concentrate is used throughout the interior, giving a spectacular illuminated feel to the characteristics of sculpture in the cabin.

The massive use of hand, premium leather differentiates The Evora from other Lotus Lotus products and such is its importance to the character of the car as a whole finishing the new store was built at the Lotus Headquarters in the UK Kingdom, dedicated to its production.

Even the entry-level versions of the Lotus Evora will feature leather-upholstered seats, upper door panel trim and dashboard, but it is expected that most customers choose full hide treatment. With a variety of leather colors available, customers will be able to customize the Lotus Evora.


Modern technology also mentioned in the Lotus Evora's cabin. A newly developed Alpine multimedia system with 7 inch touch screen provides audio, satellite navigation, video, Bluetooth ® hands-free telephone and iPod ® connectivity functions, the display will also show rear-view camera of the Lotus Evora. The satellite navigation system is removable, so you can program the comfort of your home, or take to continue the journey in a foreign location for pedestrians.

Audio set-up of the Alps is one of the most sophisticated cars in the world. Called the track and using MultEQ sound enhancement technology, is able to reverse the imbalances caused by the sound of the cabin window glass, for instance, creating echoes, while carpets suppress mid frequencies - that is incredibly sharp, clear, a distortion-free sound reproduction in your car wherever you sit.


A measure an air conditioning system developed by Bergstrom is standard on all models and is designed for the hottest climate or the closest humidity to help provide maximum occupant comfort. Lotus traction control and onboard tire pressure monitoring will also be available.

Exceptional relationship that Lotus has enjoyed with Toyota for decades, by far the most enthusiastic reception, the company's four-cylinder power, Elise and Exige, guaranteed the Japanese giant's inclusion of candidates for the Lotus Evora engine supplier.

The final choice was Toyota's all-alloy 2GR-FE 3.5-liter V6 DOHC Dual VVT-i (timing "intelligent" variable valve timing). Lotus has carefully developed its own software engine management T6E for this engine to maximize its compatibility with the unique requirements for the Lotus Evora to give a peak power of 280 hp at 6400 rpm, while increasing its maximum torque of 342 Nm at 4700 rpm (prototype figures).


Changes in engine management and exhaust systems also allow the V6 to rev more freely and provide rapid throttle response; comments from the development team suggests that the strength of mid-range torque means that the motor courageous performance will be easily accessible without having to thunder through Redline. This makes the Lotus Evora a car entirely satisfactory for everyday road use and a rewarding experience if you just want to run.

Lotus Exige coupe is a famous high performance with a deserved reputation for choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance on both road and track.

Lotus has always pursued efficiency and fuel economy and the Lotus Exige S, Lotus has reduced its emissions to only 199 g / km of CO2 emissions and increased fuel economy of 8.5 l/100 km impressive on the European combined cycle official and a frugal 6.5 liters / 100 km on the official website of the European extra-urban cycle.

 

The model year also sees the introduction of some significant changes in the Lotus Exige to improve the appearance and improve aerodynamics.

A new redesigned front and rear spoiler, which not only reduces drag but also makes him look more muscular, retractable best light around the car.

The composite wing at the rear is based on designs Exige GT3 concept road car shown at Geneva in 2007. Compared to 2009-model year Exige wing mounted tailgate is 181 mm wide and mounted 46 mm higher and 61 mm further back. It is attached to the hull at the rear through the plates at the rear which not only increases the rigidity of the whole structure, but also ensures that the ventilation as much as possible on the pass rear fender. This careful management of air increases stability, reduces drag, and above all, maintains the impressive figure of 42 kg of support to 160 km / h.

 

The redesigned front includes a larger intake air mouth angle to help channel more air into the radiator, improving engine efficiency. Ahead of the front wheels on both sides of the main opening, two more air intake increases the airflow to the twin oil coolers. Horizontal cutting blades of the oil cooler air intake in order to stabilize the air flow to further enhance cooling efficiency.

 

As the Lotus Exige S2 was launched in 2004, production rose to 190 hp: 220 hp to 240 hp as a normal way - no trace centric Lotus Exige Cup 260 - the new air intakes and larger to improve engine cooling for these high-powered Lotus Exige current variations.

Installed during the three air intakes have a new aerodynamic splitter cable for the new Lotus Exige. Made of lightweight composite materials, the dealer has been extended to wrap across the front and side of the carved lips to turn up the air around the wheels to reduce drag.

 

Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus plc, said:. "In the Lotus Exige has developed a base of hardcore fans around the world and its popularity has invested in a legendary sports cars of the 21 st century so far, over 5,000 Exiges is a hand from our high-tech production facility in order to contribute significantly to overall production. lightweight Lotus Exige is one of the highest specific output of emissions in the world, a certified machine, 133 hp per liter is a perfect example of Colin Chapman's philosophy of performance, light weight, and the Lotus ", a tireless quest for efficiency. The same technology that makes high-light the car is also a powerful device - how many cars have performance numbers from 0-100 km / h 4.77 sec, but produces only 199 g / km of CO2 emissions? "

 

Like all Lotus cars, the functional components of the car are so beautifully designed as Russell Carr, Head of Lotus Design explains: "For 2010, we took the Lotus Exige and visually extreme and gave even more dramatic visual. The changes have been integrated into the front and back of the sign of a Lotus Exige clear and reflective. The rear wing is the deliberate race inspired air intakes and new division offers a wide angle to see more aggressive edge and . In general, the most widely planted Lotus Exige and gives the illusion that the front and rear of the car are wider than they are without losing its agile and flexible. "

 

Roger Becker, Director of Vehicle Engineering, said: "The changes we made to the Lotus Exige for the  model year are fairly subtle individually, but taken as a complete package, make significant improvements in aerodynamics and overall appearance the car. The Exige is a workhorse of classic design to the objectives that we have made adjustments have reduced the friction, clean airflow around the front and rear of the car, while maintaining a number balanced impressive support to boost performance of exciting. "Specification of the highly successful model of 2009 years Exige Cup 260, presented at the Paris Motor Show 2008 has not changed.

 

Eterne Enter the four-door sedan from Lotus Super. If Elite is elegance personified as Lotus Eterne is elegance redefined.
Eternal Lotus is a true four-door, four seater sports GT. And 'the ultimate expression of style, sophistication and grace. But wait. Slim, stylish sports cars? Not little.
Sports cars, by definition, can not be pretty. Powerful, exciting, aggressive, yes, but not pretty. But here is the ultimate paradox - Eternal. L ', the power and grace, elegance, performance and beauty and power in one big package.

 

With a pressure of 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers charge to 620 hp Lotus Eterne seeks best in class and efficiency.
In line with the rest of the new line, the eternal benefits of hybrid technology Lotus.

 

Dany Bahar, CEO of Group Lotus, said. "It's nice to see Eterne, and as with the rest of the region, but it also offers all other aspects similar to Elite and is a perfect car opposite, it is compact yet spacious, high-performance yet low emissions from light but reassuring sound. "

 

"We truly believe there is a market for Lotus Eterne, there is nothing else that, as there both in terms of design, capacity and performance. The biggest difference between Lotus and competitors Eterne class it is that it is not an evolution of an existing two-door, it is a conscious creation and considered unique. This is the ultimate four-door sports car. "

 

Sometimes there are no rules to be broken, so it's time to set them in place.

Lotus Evora has taken the award-winning and rebuilt with an engine of 350 hp 3.5L V6 to create the director of the Lotus Evora S. Dany Bahar Lotus executive, summed up the situation when he said: "You're not clear on what you are away from your driving experience before they get behind the wheel of the S. Evora "

 

So apart from the obvious difference in power, how is it different from the Lotus Evora Evora S standard? This is another question we ask the president (as has happened some time behind the wheel, we thought it would be a better position to answer the questions). That's what he said .. "It's the next level of experience Evora communicates with a better service, adjusting the suspension has been modified for more power and control to respond more to the direction of a car is an instinct, the experience is pure" .

 

"We are proud Evora, but we are even prouder of the Lotus Evora S, I feel like it makes the experience of true justice Lotus. The really good news is that as we move Evora standard would also benefit from some of these developments. "

 

Lotus Evora S with sports package as standard with a button labeled "Sport", which allows the operator to control and activate the valve exhaust gas bypass. Sport button also raises the rev limit and instant changes in the outcome of the dynamic stability control settings to a change in the total experience. There are cross-drilled brakes improve the cooling. And here's a heads up for those who buy the old adage "You can tell the men from the boys the size of the toy ': the feelings of an external Lotus Evora S has improved quite new active exhaust, which means that the touch of a button on the machine sounds so dramatic as it sounds.

 

Commenting on the S Lotus Evora, Lotus says Chief Commercial Officer Andreas Prillmann: "The Evora S is a natural evolution for us, but more than that, it's a taste of what people can expect from the next generation of Lotus Cars, it preserves. Lotus core values ​​of performance through lightweight, but it also offers more than that. It's the perfect combination of performance, style and comfort. Form does not sacrifice function, if Lotus Evora S. "

The Lotus Elise has revolutionized the sports car 14 years ago when the small and light, agile two-seater mid-engined sports car was introduced. Ensure that the Lotus Elise stuck strictly to the fundamental values ​​of performance through lightweight Lotus, Lotus Elise was able to produce supercar performance with the city economy.

Making its debut at the 80th Geneva International Motor Show, the 2011 model year Lotus Elise introduced a range of changes and improvements to maintain its position as a leader in its class.

 

The body - a development

The body of the new Lotus Elise 2011 is an evolution of the design iconic Elise, retaining the character and style, while a more planted, focused attitude and a clean, modern look that connects to Evora. As with all Lotus product design is an exciting blend of dramatic style and functional efficiency

The new Lotus Elise is a fresh body design, the front, including a new bumper, front of the door shell and a Lotus Elise which together give a broader look more road presence.

Behind the new engine of the car is housed in a typical hood "double spine ', while more aggressive lower diffuser is securely wrapped in a sleek new bumper now includes a rear license plate.

 

Projector new units clearly sculpted LED light guides (including daytime running lights and turn signals) give a contemporary touch to this classic design. Moreover, the firm, "mouth" Lotus and familial forms have been carefully carved refined to give a clearer, more dynamic look. The repositioning of the functions light led to the creation of the large cleaning surface of the wings combined with the angle of entry and elegant details leading distributor providing a more extensive planting.

The topic is brought up to clean the cooling fans that are actually finished a new lightweight aluminum mesh, which classically gives the car a sporty look.

The trunk is open from the cockpit instead of a key operation separately. The quality of the impression that the Lotus Elise is continuous throughout the car with the Lotus Elise graphics incorporated in the new LED direction indicators, such as the Evora.

 

The driving position, pedals and steering wheel perfectly placed to support and comfortable seating with ProBax technology means that, like all Lotus cars, the driver becomes part of the car instead of being just a passenger.

The sleek new body aerodynamics are improved with a reduction in the drag coefficient of 4%.

Finally, the choice of two beautifully designed, lightweight wheel, using an incredibly lightweight forged wheels and a new cast wheel completes the picture of this upgrade Lotus sensitive icon.

 

Other changes to the 2011 Lotus Elise

New 2011 Lotus Elise has a number of other changes and improvements with the installation of advanced new 1.6 liter Valvematic meet the Euro 5 legislation. This new engine is a 200cc smaller than the outgoing model Lotus Elise S, and produces a similar power (136 hp, 100 hp, 134 hp 6800 rpm), maximum torque of 160 Nm, 4400 rpm 118 lbft, but offers significant improvements in fuel economy for more than 23%, 6.14 liters / 100 km (46 mpg) and CO2 emissions by over 13%. This provides a new Lotus Elise with the lowest CO2 performance of any gasoline for high-performance sports cars worldwide. This high-tech engine is mated to a new 6-speed manual gearbox, which offers a closer relationship and performance-oriented than the outgoing five-speed transmission.

The 1.6 liter engine is controlled by the management system adapted T6 engine Lotus. Cruise control is available on the Lotus Elise for the first time with the controls on a stalk to the left of the steering column.

New cast wheels are designed specifically for the Lotus Elise and the new option forged wheels weighs only 29.26 kg per set, 2.14 kg lighter than a set of lightweight molded version. Both are available in silver or black.

Dany Bahar, CEO of Group Lotus, said: "The Lotus Elise revolutionized the sports car when it was launched 14 years ago, and now the Lotus Elise has become more environmentally friendly, giving drivers access to the first category of performance with less guilt. "

Donato Coco, Director of Design, said: "The Lotus Elise is an iconic sports car and it was important not involving its design, which made the car more pure in his eyes, improved aerodynamics, and gave a more contemporary look with high quality finishes. "

 

Paul Newsome, Director of Product Lotus Engineering, said: "We are always looking at how to keep the Lotus Elise in front of his peers and the 2011 model year, we have improved efficiency without losing the pleasure inherent in making the Lotus Elise legendary. "


Engine

Presents the new Lotus Elise 1598 cm3 1zr-FAE engine supplied by Toyota. The key to this engine performance and efficiency of the system are Valvematic (a valve mechanism of variable lift) that is combined with the dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent). The engine of the current order intake valve opening / closing timing and intake valve lift varying the amount of intake air, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency and fuel economy. This ensures optimal performance based on operating conditions of the engine, thus contributing to the Lotus Elise to achieve both high energy efficiency and high performance.

First and foremost is the maximum effect is reached near maximum speed (engine speed) at 6800 rpm and maximum torque (160 Nm of respectable 118 lb.ft) is reached at 4400 rpm. It gives a good combination of features mid-range, but also encourages the driver to operate the engine at the maximum speed of 7000 rpm (transient speed limit). Like all Lotus Elise sports car, there are three teams on Binnacle lights cumulatively lighting when the driver approaches the rev limiter and when all three indicated that they flash to indicate that the pilot is almost the rev limiter so time to change up a gear!

 

Height of the hood is lifted 34 mm 1ZR top spot in the engine than the previous 1zz the engine from the previous model is due in part to Valvematic technology with the new engine. This has given engineers the ability to Lotus subtly redesign the rear panel to respond to the theme from the front and rear of the car.

Chassis

Lotus Elise is built on the revolutionary and award winning extruded and bonded aluminum frame, lightweight steel rear subframe. Body that weighs 68 kilograms (150 pounds) and has stiffness 9800 Nm Fri able, which provides high suspension control. Behind, and also serve as the rear energy absorbing crash structure, light steel frame located on the engine and transmission. Equipment in front of the radiator, and auxiliary installed in the main part of the high-tech composite structure to absorb crash energy, which is both lightweight, compact, and more than three times more energy absorption than the equivalent steel structure.

 

Ride and handling

The legendary Lotus ride and handling provide superior high-performance, sporty driving style combined with a progressive and consistent race on the treatment threshold, makes the car Lotus Elise, which needs to be guided.

The entry level Lotus Elise weighs 876 kg, making it one of the lightest fully homologated sportscars in the world. The low weight results in a powerful performance with minimal impact on the environment in terms of emissions and fuel consumption. Effectiveness of Lotus Elise structure means that the 136 hp (100 kW, 134 hp) offers phenomenal performance.

Few cars can match the delicacy and precision steering, acceleration and braking of the Lotus Elise, and contribute to the excellent leadership of the Lotus Elise.

Security
