Lotus 2-Eleven specs

The new one just set a new Hockenheim short record.

@ Fangio Man: No surprise there.

Lotus powered by Toyota!

i love this car because its a street legal racing car.
and its very cheap.

Look at what lotus have been doing!
http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/251835/ This car is designed to give rich guy\'s the F1 experience. Your\'s for 650 thousand pounds.

0-60 in 3.8 sec or 4.2 sec..........who cares! People who bang on about the validity of the 0-60 stat with cars like this are missing the point and don\'t have a clue, they obviously haven\'t driven one. The 2-eleven is one of the most exciting cars on sale, they\'re brilliant.

lotus offical specs 0-100kmh in 3.9sec and 0-160kmh in 8.9 sec

?

could this run the ring in under 8mins?

how much?

i was lucky enough to go in one of these with a track veteren round the nurburgring i can honestly say that these machines are the real thing the amount of G's this car generates through the bends is unreal i had to hold my helmet down mostly all the way round mind you it finished within 8mins we flew through everything moved out of his way check out the picture of me shaking his hand afterwards
fairplay to alex for showing me the racing line . pure track tool and i thought i was fast round the nurbo with my mates ATOM3 ......

The Autocar test for the 2-eleven was in the wet...

It might have a long first gear ratio for better acceleration when it most matters on track.

does anyone believe after that Anglesey time that this does 0-60 in anything more than 3.8 seconds

Cheers I'll book a test but will probably use a dealer out of the city as there not much fun to be had sat in traffic. I traded in a 987 Boxster S last September for a Ford Focus ST which is now mildly tuned with a remap to 271bhp and 330ftlb.... that is being replaced by a new M3 Covertible in September.

you don't need me to do it just go on to grouplotus.com/cars/book_test_drive.html

It simple I think the nearest dealer to you is just a few streets away from marble arch tube station. Btw what car do u drive ATM

Norfolk Lad..... I'm based in London but would be keen to test the 2-11.... if you can arrange it I'll een do a full write up/review for Fastestlaps

ok - I work for lotus. I drive this car daily and I can tell you you are wrong full stop. I'm not going to bother argueing the point but we don't lie in our claims. If you are still unconvinced come and test drive one you will be amazed

m8 this is not going to be equal to a carrera gt or lp640 or a turbo with your stat claims lotus' are way more believable

I have driven this round the nurburgring and tbh im not the worlds best driver so i wont post a time on here but i will tell u it does do 0-60 a damn sight quicker than u say easily under 4 and come on 4.8 seconds that's rubbish how could it be its similar to an exige which hits sixty in 4.1 and weighs less than a tonne the 2-11 weighs a good 200kg less and has more power so slower than an exige? You have issues. and there is no arguement saying lotus lie with all their claims as the exige is a proven car

the Autocar UK contest

btw.. autocarUK reached nearly the same result 0-160km/h(160mph) as sportauto.. in the 2007 0-100-0mph contest the 2-Eleven reached 11.04s (I add this time) only 0.26s quicker as sportauto but still a 2.14s slower as the 8.9s Lotus claim.

if someone wonders...

sportauto real clocked the car perfromance and data...
nothing they meansured fit with factory claim!
The empty 2-Eleven with filled up tank was scaled by sportauto with 776kg (1707lbs.) not 670kg (1470lbs) the weight balance is not 38/62% like Lotus claims it is in real 34.9/65.1% ..sportauto never got the car somewere near the factory claimed 4.0 0-100km/h not to talk about the compeltely unrealistic 0-160km/h 8.9s claim.. sportauto reached 11.3s over a second slower. The car sportauto tested was a UK registered 2-Eleven with the licens plate AUO7 GFY.

0-160 is 8.9seconds - http://www.grouplotus.com/car/car_tech_specs.php?id=6#top

Evo issue 109 page 162

Please add page number and issue date to magazine name when you next time add alp times from EVO. "EVO" is not a proper reference. "EVO, October 2007, page 12" is.

"May friend did it" is not a reference. You have to provide us with some kind of decent proof that he really did it. Perhaps your friend is journalist from some car magazine and they have an article where they mention this lap time.

Really looking forward to fetch any lap times for this car. It's a really cool track day car, however, it's also quite pricey.
