Elise S2 Models / Engine / Bhp

[dalepearson]

Evening all,

 

can someone clearly define what Elise S2 is what, so when I am looking I can tell what model has what engine and as a result what BHP.

 

I think so far I have seen:

 

Lotus Elise S2

Lotus Elise 111S

Lotus Elise 135R

Lotus Elise 111R

Lotus Elise S

Lotus Elise Sports Tourer

 

Thanks in advance.

Lotus Elise S2 - this is just the series 2 elise, covers all below. Std S2 has 118 bhp rover K-series engine.

Lotus Elise 111S - 156 bhp k-series vvc

Lotus Elise 135R - ~135 bhp k-seires with a different head compared to std engine

Lotus Elise 111R - 199 bhp toyota engine (same as civic type r)

Lotus Elise S - 135 (more like 140) bhp toyota engine, de-tuned version of above

Lotus Elise Sports Tourer - same as std S2 (118 bhp k-series) but with extras like vented discs (?). You'd have to check the link for all the extras.

Standard S2 had 120 bhp, S1 had 118bhp. Those 2 bhp made all the difference

 

111R has 189bhp the same as the S2 Exige. Difference to the S1 Exige is that they actually make 189

 

I thought the engine in the Elise S was a different one to the 189 one. Same as in the MR2 and Celica.

I stand corrected.

 

Close but no cigar eh?
