New entry-level Lotus 2-Eleven

By George Skentzos |

The track-only Lotus 2-Eleven made its global debut at last year’s Geneva Motor Show, and now a year on Lotus has introduced a new entry-level 2-Eleven plus an extensive range of Lotus Sport performance options.

The new entry-level model features a high-revving 141kW naturally aspirated engine as used in the Elise R, this is compared to the 185kW supercharged unit currently used in the 2-Eleven.

Tipping the scales at just 720kg, it can still hit 100km/h in just 4.3 seconds from a standing start, and reach a top speed of 225km/h.

The range of options are aimed at getting the 2-Eleven around the track faster on a budget. These include two different limited slip differentials, an FIA approved 70L bag fuel tank and a removable competition steering wheel.

A carbon fiber tonneau cover, four piston front brakes and ‘Aero’ or ‘Sport’ accessories packs are also available.

The Aero pack consists of an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing and a lengthened composite front splitter while the Sport pack includes Ohlins two-way adjustable dampers.

The current Lotus 2-Eleven demands a price tag upward of AUD$81,800 in the UK which translates to $122,500 on Australian soil. The entry-level model will arrive in Europe starting from AUD$57,200 however this figure excludes taxes.

    With CAMS recent rule changes outlawing open roof cars, the market for these in Aus is pretty much dead.

    And no, they are not road legal.

    Tom: Can you provide a link for that rule change?

    It seems silly due to the large numbers of Westfields around.

    Tom i was under the impression that a version of this car would be road legal…

  • Mitch

    according to wikipedia you can get a “road” pack that makes it load legal in some countries. im guessing it comes with a windscreen, blinkers & tail lights

    Im stuck at work folks and cant get to a direct link – but following the tragic death at the Mt Buller event last year CAMS have changed the rules.

    Currently, the 2-11 does not meet Australian ADR\’s. I know a gentleman who owns one, and it wont be seeing road use. Lotus would need to change several areas of the car to pass ADR’s.
