Description:

Fantastic Lotus Elise Federal

From Wikipedia:
This Series 2 Elise model comes in a European 111R version or a version sold in North America, called the
Federal Elise
. It is powered by the all-aluminium 189 horsepower (141 kW) 1.8L DOHC Toyota ZZ engine with a Yamaha designed twin-cam head offering variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valvetrain, and a 6speed manual Toyota C64 gearbox. The Series 2 model is acclaimed as the best version of the Elise to date, with tremendous performance numbers. Many tests show
0–60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in approximately 4.9 seconds, or 4.7 seconds
with the Sport Package. The engine management computer is a Lotus programmed unit.
The 2005 Lotus Elise was the first to be sold commercially in the United States, in the summer of 2004. Approval for the Elise, however, required intervention by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which provided a three-year exemption for the car, as it had failed to meet US bumper and headlight regulations. The first-year model suffered from a few flaws, most notably a design flaw in the headlamps.
So there you have it,
its is the best version to date,
because you are getting the model the way it was meant to be. The way it was designed, without awkward bumper things or modified ride height or even worse an exhaust system that steals power from the power plant. And talking about the motor, here you have a fast car (0-60 sub 5 sec) with a reliable Toyota engine. Easy and affordable to maintain with amazing reliability.
