Lotus Elise S
|
No matter how to drive the Elise S, this is one rental car experience you'll not soon forget.
The Lotus Elise S represents a new direction for the famed British automaker and is an entirely-new type of light weight car. It combines the smooth handling of a mid-engine exotic car, the ultimate flexibility of a hard-top convertible (It's a coupe! It's a convertible!) and the silky-smooth shifting of a 5-speed manual transmission.
To put it simply, this Go-Kart is awesome.

Slide into the Lotus Elise S and you'll rocket to 100kph in way just over 5 seconds. Drop the top and cruise along the west coast, or put the top up and tear up the hills of Kalamunda and Mundaring. You'll shift effortlessly with the double-clutch transmission all while looking like a pro.
Awesome, astonishing and mind blowing all come to mind as apt descriptions of the Lotus experience.
Standard kit on board the Elise S is the quickest and easiest shifting 5-speed gearbox you will ever have the pleasure of using. Heel and toe shifts in this thing, requires little or no practice, such is the positioning and weight of the pedals.
