The British magazine Autocar was given the chance to be the first to test out the 2011 Lotus Elise. The already close to perfect vehicle was not in need of many changes, but Lotus did decide to make the Elise appear cosmetically, at least, more like the Lotus Evora by narrowing the front end somewhat to give it a sleeker, more aerodynamic look. This was done by modifying the nose, hood, and headlights slightly.  Most everything else remains the same, on the outside.

The 2011 Elise is powered by a 1.6 Liter  four cylinder engine that delivers a total of 134 HP and 118 lb-ft of torque mated to a six speed gearbox.  This will take you from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.7 seconds. Its top speed:  124 mph.

In the following video, see what’s more beautiful about the Lotus Elise 2011, and what’s greener.
