"LOTUS BACK IN THE U.S. AS FIRST ELISE IS DELIVERED
Lotus cars CEO John English hands keys to Chris Smith this week at the company headquarters in Duluth, Ga, making the first delivery in the US of the much anticipated Elise, what some call the world's purest sports car. Already the best-selling Lotus ever in the European market and the recipient of dozens of industry awards, the Elise is the first new Lotus available in the US in 15 years. With a chassis made of aluminum and weighing a mere 150 pounds, the Elise's total weight is under a ton. Its 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine propels this lightweight machine from 0-60 in under five seconds. It is base-priced at $39,985."
There's a nice pic of J.E. handing Chris the keys outside LCU. The red looks a little bright in the Sun. Glad I didn't get it. Definitely not Rosso Corsa. I'll see if I can get the pic scanned for you. Chris, I got an extra copy if you want me to hold it for ya.
