How much does a 2008 Lotus Elise SC cost?




Lotus has recently announced the pricing for the 2008 Elise SC, the newest addition to the 2008 Lotus line-up. As expected of a car with 217 hp and weighing only 903 kg (1987 lbs), the performance of the Elise SC is electrifying! With the 0-60 mph in 4.4 secs; 0-100 mph in 10.7 secs; top speed 150 mph, what can you expect from its cost?

The price? $104,990! And this amount excludes the dealer delivery and government charges, plus the extra $8000 for the Elise Touring Pack or $7000 for the Elise Sport Pack.
In addition to the extreme performance, the fuel economy of the Elise SC is evenly impressive with an estimated combined figure of 8.5litres/100km. On the other hand, the light weight has benefits for handling, acceleration, ride comfort, and braking. Braking comes from AP Racing callipers at the front and Brembo calipers at the rear linked to 282mm vented and cross-drilled cast iron discs .

For the “green people”, Elise SC is undoubtedly environment-friendly. You can trust the construction of its exhaust and engine systems.

Regarding the security, an advanced ABS system incorporates an anti-lock system which is so unobtrusive. Most drivers will not realize it’s working otherwise needed. This is still true even if the system keeps a subtly low profile. The ABS system is connected to a lightweight pedal box with steel pedal arms and extruded aluminum pads. Such unit has an electronic throttle for smooth, quick, and more linear engine response.
