Lotus Elise Retour Aux Sources

Product description

A volume dedicated to the Lotus Elise and its significance in the modern history of Lotus Cars. A model that, since its debut, has brought the brand back to its roots: lightness, technical simplicity and direct driving pleasure.

The book tells the story of the birth of the project in the 90s, the engineering choices that made the Elise different from other sports cars of the period and the importance of the glued aluminum frame, a solution that marked a turning point for the English company. Ample space is dedicated to the various series, evolutions over time and sportier versions.

Through clear texts and numerous images, the book offers a complete reading of the model, explaining its technical development and central role in the relaunch of the brand, in line with the philosophy desired by Colin Chapman.
