UNIQUE LOTUS ELISE For Sale
THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BUILT BY D J MOTORSPORT IN THEIR WORKSHOPS IN NOTTINGHAM,
ENGLAND.
THE SPEC IS AS FOLLOWS:-
90% OF THE VEHICLE IS LOTUS ELISE, AS THE BASIC CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION POINTS ARE
AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO PERFECT. SO ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN RETAINED ALONG WITH
THE SUPERLIGHT CHASSIS AND BODY, ALTHOUGH THE ACTUAL COIL OVERSHOCKERS AND SPRINGS
HAVE BEEN UPRATED TO FULLY ADJUSTABLE AVOíS. TO THE ONLOOKER, THE CAR IS EXACTLY
LOTUS ELISE.
THE MAIN IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN IN THE INSTALLATION OF A KAWASAKI ZZR 1100 ENGINE AND
SIX SPEED SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX; THIS ENGINE PRODUCES 150 BHP IN STANDARD FORM AND CAN
BE UPRATED TO ALMOST 200 BHP WITH A LITTLE WORK ON THE HEADS AND CARBS. THE BENEFITS
OF THIS ENGINE/GEARBOX SET UP ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER IMPROVEMENTS (ALUMINIUM FUEL
TANK, LIGHTER WHEELS AND TYRES, SMALLER RADIATOR ETC) HAVE REDUCED THE OVERALL WEIGHT
BY OVER 80KG GIVING A POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO OF 250 BHP/TONNE INSTEAD OF THE STANDARD
LOTUS ELISE BEING 160 BHP/TONNE. THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION IS IMPROVED TO 45% 55% (LOTUS
39%/61%).
THIS, WITH A SIX SPEED SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX AND AN ENGINE THAT REVS TO 13000 RPM, THE
PERFORMANCE, TO SAY THE LEAST, IS EXHILARATING. 0-60 MPH (0-100 KPH) IN JUST OVER
4 .5 SECONDS WITH A TOP SPEED OF OVER 150 MPH.
THE ASKING PRICE FOR THIS UNIQUE CAR IS £21,000 GBP, WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY
LESS THAN THE DEVELOPMENT/BUILD COSTS, BUT WOULD ENABLE ME TO START MK 2 WHICH WILL
USE THE UPRATED 190 BHP KAWASAKI ENGINE.
