Dr.Drako Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) They are four different retro-inspired decorations. Founded by Colin Chapman, Lotus is a brand with a long and recognized history in the world of motorsports; Simply and simply competing is in your DNA. But not only can it boast a long list of victories in different categories, but also having had some of the most beautiful competition cars in history. Precisely, to pay tribute to these iconic cars, the British firm presents a limited series called Lotus Elise Classic Heritage (somewhat redundant), which is made up of four different racing liveries inspired by some of its most iconic racing cars. Probably the most well-known combination by most, is the one inspired by the Lotus 72 that competed in the 1972 F1, in black and gold colors. The second combination (red, white and gold) pays homage to the 1967 Lotus 72. For its part, blue, red and silver is inspired by the 1980 Lotus 81. Finally, there is blue and white, which refers to the Lotus 18 of 1960, the first F1 of the brand that achieved the first pole position and victory at the hands of Sir Stirling Moss at the Monaco Grand Prix. Depending on the livery chosen outside, the color scheme will be replicated on the seats, door panels and dash. In terms of equipment, we find elements that would normally be optional such as air conditioning, cruise control, radio, carpets and light alloy wheels. The hardtop, lithium-ion battery, and titanium exhaust are extras with an extra charge. These special editions are based on the Lotus Elise Sport 220. Mechanically there are no variations, so the 1.8L supercharged engine delivers the same 217 horsepower. This in combination with a featherweight, allow you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 234 km / h. Speaking of exclusivity, only 100 of these cars will be sold internationally. Lotus points out that the division between the different colors will depend on demand, so certain colors may be rarer than others. Edited May 13, 2020 by YaKuZa--BoSs Closed Topic/complete 1 day. 1
