Crazy how undervalued these are. For like 20 years now, you can buy one, drive it, and sell it for the same price you bought it at. British chassis engineering combined with Japanese drivetrain reliability is an amazing combination. Practicality is overrated.

Elise 111R competition

This is the version available in the U.S. right? The one with the 2ZZ Toyota engine? If so, then this needs to have the lap time from the Car and Driver Lightning Lap at VIR. It is of course a Mid-Engine, not front engine car. I believe the 1/4 should be quicker as well. That isn't a problem though, as I am sure I can find the stats from the Car and Driver website and then add it. :)

I am afraid your figures are way wrong !!
This site must do something about the mistakes made on many car models not only on the elise 111R..

Believe I remember Autocar conducting a 0-100-0 test on this car. It ran 0-60 = 4.8 and 0-100 = 12.3. The stats you have are way off and make no sense!

The figures on this car are way off.
0-100 KMH is more like 5 secs
Engine location is Mid-engine
