Lotus Elan review covering 1990 - 1995
Monday 10 October 2005
It’s probably fair to say that the Lotus Elan is a something of a forgotten gem. Amid all the acclaim lavished upon its successor, the Elise, the front-wheel drive Elan has slipped down the back of the automotive sofa somewhat, waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation of sports car driversPrematurely killed off by Lotus in 1995, the Elan is still probably the finest handling front-wheel drive car available, although Honda’s Integra Type-R and Ford’s Racing Puma could well be in with a shout. Perhaps the cutesy styling undersold this excellent drivers car, but the astute used buyer could pick up a bargain before the rest of the market remembers what a great car the Elan was and indeed still is.
