2009 Lotus Elise Purist Edition
New! Never Titled | 0-60 in 4.9 sec. | The Purist Driving Experience!
The 2009 Elise’s pure handling and extraordinary performance is like driving a street-legal race car. The philosophy of Lotus is simple and based on performance through lightweight fast cars. In keeping with its role as a supremely fast road car, rather than an extreme track machine, the Elise's throttle response is very progressive yet very direct, creating a measured and refined driving experience. You get a sincere sensation of unadulterated driving. The 2009 Elise makes excellent use of its award-winning epoxy-bonded aluminum chassis and finely-tuned independent suspension. This offers the driver outstanding road feel, accuracy of steering and delivers performance numbers found in cars costing several times as much.
The 2009 Lotus Elise continues the tradition of refined motoring with a sublime sports car that handles and performs like a race car. The Elise has numerous improvements installed as standard equipment including a new Lotus Tire Pressure Monitoring System that provides instant warning if there is a puncture or if pressures fall below safe levels. Other upgrades include a stylish new instrument display with a high-definition LCD message panel, clutter-reducing "hidden until lit" warning and shift lights and customizable display options. An alarm/immobilizer system is also incorporated with central locking functions into a new integrated ignition key design. This is a car that will change your life! It’s not just transportation; it is a driving experience like no other.
