Our take on this /// Verdict

The Lotus Elise 1.6 VVT-i is a marvel of engineering, especially considering its lightweight and agile design. This roadster is a pure drivers car, with a 0-100 kmph time of just 6.5 seconds, making it a thrill to drive on both the highway and twisty roads. The extruded aluminium chassis and composite bodywork contribute to its exceptional handling and stability. However, its not without its drawbacks the Elise is quite raw and demands a skilled driver, especially given its rear-wheel drive and the ease with which the backend can lose traction if not handled carefully. For those who crave a genuine driving experience and are willing to accept the compromises that come with a high-performance sports car, the Lotus Elise 1.6 VVT-i is an excellent choice.

Price

The Lotus Elise 1.6 VVT-i comes with a hefty price tag in India, expected to be around 50,00,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. When you factor in the various taxes and registration fees, the on-road price can easily exceed 60,00,000. This places the Elise in a niche market, appealing primarily to enthusiasts who are willing to pay a premium for its unique blend of performance, handling, and exclusivity. The high price is also reflective of the cars limited availability and the import costs associated with bringing such a specialized vehicle into the Indian market.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 12:51 PM The mileage of the Lotus Elise 1.6 VVT-i is not its strongest suit, given its focus on performance over fuel efficiency. With a combined CO2 emission of 149.5 gkm, its clear that this car is designed for driving pleasure rather than economical commuting. In real-world conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 8-10 kml, which, while not impressive, is acceptable for a car that prioritizes speed and agility. If youre concerned about running costs, this might not be the best choice, but for those who value the driving experience above all else, the Elises mileage is a manageable trade-off.
