2007 Lotus Elise

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Lotus finally introduced its Elise to the U.S. market for the 2005 model year, bringing its signature lightweight philosophy and razor‑sharp handling to a new generation of enthusiasts. Built around a bonded aluminum chassis and composite bodywork, the so-called Federal Elise emphasized simplicity, low mass, and driver engagement above all else. Quickly, the Elise established itself as one of the purest analog driving machines available, pairing a Toyota-sourced powertrain with world-class chassis tuning.

This 2007 Lotus Elise is finished in red over a black and tan interior and shows approximately 75,700 miles. Power is provided by a replacement 1.8‑liter Toyota 2ZZ‑GE inline-four engine said to have been installed in October 2021 and paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. The car features fixed-backrest seating, exposed aluminum structural elements, and hallmark Elise design cues throughout.

This 2007 Lotus Elise is now offered at no reserve in Florida with factory literature, a spare set of wheels, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Minnesota title.
