2005 Lotus Elise "Mean Green Machine"


About this Ride
Type: Automobiles
Model: 2005 Lotus Elise

Owner: shaggy
Real Name: Chris
Location: Louisville, US.

Bought this Lotus new in February of 2006 at Dimmitt Luxury Motors in Clearwater Florida.  I've owned it for about 10 months now and have had little to no problems with the car.  Handling is unlike anything I've ever driven, the power is good although it could use a bit more, just an all around fun car!
You can see some better photos (the color is a bit off on the ones here) and read more about the car at My Lotus Elise Blog.



Current list of modifications include:

  • Alpine CDA-9856 CD-Player with 3rd generation iPod attached
  • Sector111 Lidbone (revised engine lid prop)
  • European 111R decals
  • Green Filter airfilter & modified intake airbox

Future modifications include:
  • Aftermarket header & exhaust
  • Carbon Fiber front splitter
  • Tri-Point supercharger
  • Aftermarket wheels
  • HID's

Thanks to parts prices being so high with these cars, the future list will be accomplished slowly!

Is it true that a toyota motor powers those sweet cars?

The motor is indeed the same 1.8 that is found in the Celica GTS. It's been retuned though to put out about 190hp.
