Inside, those aforementioned ProBax seats are in excellent shape, upholstered in black leather with cloth inserts. A three-spoke steering wheel frames an instrument panel with a full array of gauges. The dash, inner door panels and center console are all in excellent condition. A console-mounted shifter and an Alpine stereo complete the interior.”

Ever wanted to drive an adult go-kart, something that’ll go like stink and carve corners like a skateboard? You’re in luck, we have such a specimen at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 2006 Lotus Élise Series 2 Roadster. Tipping the scales between 1,800 and 2,000 pounds, this low, lithe roller skate will surprise you and other drivers at fast it is. The Elise was named after Elisa Artioli, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus and Bugatti at the time of the car"s launch.
Made at Lotus’ Hethel, Norfolk, England factory, this example is finished in Ardent Red with black trim. The paint and trim are in overall excellent condition, the bodywork is straight and solid and the engine bay is extremely tidy. The car’s body-colored bumpers are integrated into its fiberglass bodyshell, which rides atop its bonded extruded aluminum chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension, while keeping weight and production costs to a minimum.
This Lotus rides on Yokohama radials, size 175/55R16 up front and size 225/45R17 in back. Each tire is mounted on a black, factory alloy wheel. The tires and wheels are all in very good order.
Updates for 2006 models included sport LED taillights, drive-by-wire throttle, with an updated engine control unit (ECU), improved fuel consumption and more comfortable ProBax seats.
Mounted in the traditional mid-engine location is an all-aluminum 1.8L DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine from Toyota (code 2ZZ-GE) with a Yamaha-designed twin-cam head that offered variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valvetrain (VVTL-i). Unique to the ZZ family, the 2ZZ-GE utilizes a dual camshaft profile system (the “L” in VVTL-i, known by enthusiasts and engineers alike as “lift” similar to Hondas VTEC) to produce the added power without an increase in displacement or forced induction. The 2ZZ-GE was the first production engine to combine cam-phasing variable valve timing with dual-profile variable valve lift in the American market.
The motor uses multi-point fuel injection and features forged steel connecting rods. The compression ratio is 11.5:1. The engine management computer is a Lotus programmed unit. The high-pressure cast aluminum alloy engine block had Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) reinforced cylinder walls. MMC is a reinforcement material composed of ceramic parts and fibers. The motor is backed by a Toyota six-speed manual transmission (code C64).
Toyota commissioned Yamaha to design the 2ZZ-GE, based on Toyota"s ZZ block, for high-RPM operation and producing a power peak near the top of the RPM range. The high-output cam profile is not activated until approximately 6,200 rpm, (lift set-points are between 6,000–6,700 rpm depending on the vehicle) and will not engage until the engine has reached at least 140° F. The Toyota PCM electronically limits RPM to about 8,200 RPM via fuel and/or spark cut. The “lift” engagement and the engine redline vary by application. Lotus 2ZZ-GEs are rev limited to 8,500 RPM.
Inside, those aforementioned ProBax seats are in excellent shape, upholstered in black leather with cloth inserts. A three-spoke steering wheel frames an instrument panel with a full array of gauges. The dash, inner door panels and center console are all in excellent condition. A console-mounted shifter and an Alpine stereo complete the interior.
Combine a vehicle that tips the scales at a ton, puts the engine behind the driver and sources that engine from one of the most reliable companies on the planet and you have the best of all worlds.
