The Lotus Elise has firmly established itself as one of the greatest lightweight roadsters of all time. The combination of unmistakable styling and pin-sharp handling has created one of Lotus's greatest success stories.

Eager to please as many punters as possible, Lotus have created a slightly de-tuned version of the Elise 111R, the Lotus Elise S.

Powered by a 1.8 litre VVT (Variable Valve Timing) engine from Toyota, the Elise S reaches 60 mph in 5.8 seconds going on to a top speed of 128 mph.

Other than a smaller power output, the Lotus Elise S comes with all but one option from its bigger brother, a limited slip differential. The unobtrusive ABS brakes are complimented by AP calipers at the front and Brembo calipers at the rear, while the power is laid down by an electronic (drive-by-wire) throttle pedal.

After the Lotus Elise S appears, the Elise 111R will be renamed the Elise R, distinguishable from the S by 8 spoke alloy wheels and raised LOTUS lettering on the rear.
