Product Details

Finished in Calypso Red with a black soft top and a black interior. The window sticker pictured in the gallery notes that this Elan cost $39,990 new. Factory equipment includes pop-up headlights, a manual soft top, leather upholstery, sport seats, and air conditioning.Modifications reported by the seller include aftermarket parts in the exhaust system, Range Rover-sourced 18-inch wheels, AVO adjustable coilovers, and galvanized rear control arms from a later Elan. The seller reports that the factory wheels are included and photos of them can be seen in the gallery.The second-generation Elan made its debut in 1990 as the first new Lotus model since 1975. It broke with tradition in several key ways: it featured front-wheel drive and it was powered by an Isuzu-designed 4-cylinder engine. Lotus included features like air conditioning and heated door mirrors in a bid to reach a wider audience. Production ended in 1992, though the model was resurrected in 1994 in some global markets and it was even sold by Kia between 1996 and 1999.Power comes from a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, rated at 162 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. It spins the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
