Perfection is easy - Lotus Elite in the (historic) test

June 17, 2021 — Clauspeter Becker 16

The Lotus Elite was actually unspectacular in many respects. The design came from a simple bank employee, the car had little power and the four-cylinder engine was based on a water pump. But it was Colin Chapman's magical tricks that made the Elite not just good, but incredibly fast. This article reproduces the wording of a test report from 1963 and shows the car in many historic pictures.
