Lotus - Exige - Sales Brochure - 2011 - 2011

Lotus 2-Eleven The new Lotus 2-Eleven takes the Chapman philosophy of ‘Performance through light weight’ to its most extreme level yet. Weighing in at just 670 kg (dry weight with base specification) or 745 kg (kerb weight with launch specification) and with 255 PS (252 bhp / 188 kW) on tap courtesy of its supercharged and intercooled 1796 cc engine, the 2-Eleven boasts a power to weight ratio similar to that of a 1960s Formula One car. Designed with the most serious of track day enthusiasts in mind, the Lotus 2-Eleven offers race car levels of performance coupled with legendary Lotus Ride and Handing to deliver a truly outstanding track day car, whilst benefiting from many of the chassis safety features of the Elise and Exige. Lotus 2-Eleven Lotus 2-Eleven The Lotus 2-Eleven launch edition model is designed to provide the Lotus driving enthusiast with maximum grin factor per mile. The car can be specified in either Track Pack or UK Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) configuration and features a unique and striking 3-way Lotus Sport colour scheme. The Lotus T4e electronic engine management system is further enhanced to introduce a new feature for the 2-Eleven; variable traction control. The light weight core-mat technology composite bodywork is ‘bolt-on’ for ease of maintenance and is matched to either road or track optimised front splitter and rear wing packages. A Perspex® aeroscreen completes the body design offering both driver and passenger a measure of protection from the elements. Lotus 2-Eleven The 2-Eleven features a host of light weight bespoke components such as forged aluminium wheels, aluminium damper bodies and race-style battery. Careful attention to design has also helped keep weight to a minimum. Examples include mounting the oil coolers directly to the body panels, the quick release hingeless engine cover and the use of multi-functional elements such as the rear wing / body support system. However, key safety equipment features of the Elise and Exige range such as front crash box and crushable rear subframe are utilised as standard on the 2-Eleven. Extra safety features such as 6-point rollover bar, ‘highsided’ chassis, 4-point seat harness, kill switch and fire extinguisher are also standard equipment on the launch edition model for driver and passenger protection.
