These cars are Lotus Elise roadsters. The Elise was powered by a Toyota-based 190-horsepower 1.8-liter double overhead cam four-cylinder engine with a 6-speed close-ratio transmission. The Elise could accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 150 miles per hour, while still delivering fuel economy of 24 miles per gallon in the city and 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The British-built Elise was introduced in 1995, and this new version was released in 2000, but it was first made available in the United States in 2005. Base price in the U.S. was $42,990.00 from dealers such as Lotus of Portland, who had these two examples of the Elise on display at the 2006 Portland International Auto Show.
The black example displayed the optional insulated removable hardtop, which added $1,475.00 to the base price.
