Re: Fall 2004 Edition - Speed Magazine
Page 20 - "Scoop Zone":
Spied on a test track in Britain, this
secret Lotus prototype sportscar is
believed to be the third-generation Elise,
which we may see in late 2006 or 2007.
The current second-generation Elise
has been making such a splash here and
everywhere else in the world, that Lotus
has already begun building a prototype of its successor.
The Elise 'Series 3' should fully comply with U.S. federal crash standards. It will probably continue with the current 1.8-liter inline-4, but power may be upped to 200 bhp to offset any weight gain. Should be a rocket, though with performance that'll be on par with the current Elise.
