Lotus Elan Sprint
(1971 - 1973)
Car articles about Lotus Elan Sprint by year
From 1962 to 1973, Lotus built the Elan, a car with a plastic body and legendary handling. In 1971, Dieter Stappert was given the opportunity by the magazine "powerslide" to test drive the final version of the Elan, the "Sprint". This article reproduces the original wording and shows the Lotus Elan Sprint in historical pictures.
The Lotus Elan was continuously developed for 11 years, and the S1 finally became the Sprint with the "Big Valve" engine, which gave the sports car 25 percent more power and made it fit for the battle with its competitors Jaguar V12 or Fiat Dino. The most famous Elan driver was Emma Peel from "Umbrella, Charm and Melon", but she still had to make do with an S3 and do without the powerful four-cylinder engine. This driving report tells the story of a very special Lotus Elan Sprint DHC that has been used intensively throughout its life and is still unrestored.
