The Lotus Elise was from the start in 1996 to a full sales success. The vehicle designed by race car builder Lotus as an uncompromising thoroughbred sports car immediately convinced with its extreme performance. Despite the original 122 horsepower in terms of small-looking engine performance of the standard model, it takes on the Elise with far stronger competitors with ease. Thanks to the minimal weight, the middle engine and the very low center of gravity, he usually makes his opponents look quite old. His handling is at best comparable to a go-kart.

The present copy with its 159 hp, however, is no longer comparable with the production model. On this powerful enemies will fail, provided you can handle this rocket! The latter, however, wants to be learned and requires a lot of training. Even if you think you are in the border area, you are still miles away!

You can tell immediately that the development engineers come from racing! The car is free from any frills, the bare aluminum in the interior makes you forget that you are actually sitting in a street car. Right after the first few meters in this car, racing atmosphere really comes up! As befits a "real" Englishman, the racer is right-handed. Surprisingly, there are no problems with "left-handed" switching, as one would expect in the beginning. Precisely, the gears can be changed and instinctively leads the shift lever exactly in the correct gear positions. After a few meters you have the fast guy firmly under control. Only finding out the border area takes as mentioned above very, very long. To fully exploit the potential of what the car can really do, it takes a long time to get used to, because it is so incredible compared to "normal" cars!

But the most beautiful side effect of this sports roadster is its stunning body shape! The styling is strongly reminiscent of the design of the circuit racing cars of the Sixties, which has not lost its attractiveness to this day. You can clearly see that even today it is still possible to pair a fantastic design with modern technology. It does not always have to be an ugly unimaginative Audi TT where you hardly recognize where the front and back is! It goes obviously different!

The present vehicle has Austrian papers and can therefore be imported duty-free into all states of the EU. It is in very good overall condition and has only 61, 000 miles mileage. About 9, 500 kilometers before the entire car in relevant specialist workshop for sports and luxury cars was overhauled. The engine was overhauled and tuned to 159 hp, the cooling system upgraded, the alternator renewed and revised the entire chassis and adapted to the extra power. It was installed a new brake system, new headlamps mounted and renewed the windshield because of a stone chip. As part of this upgrade, a completely new air conditioning was installed.


The owner of this dream car, a well-known international musician, wants to part with the extraordinary sports car due to lack of time. We are proud that he has commissioned us to find a new home for his darling. The car is exhibited in our exhibition center in Klein-Pöchlarn where it can be visited at any time against prior agreement! Our opening hours are from Wednesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00.


Originales Exemplar von nur 200 gebauten J72 "John Player Special" Heritage Edition RHD Modellen. Besonders attraktiver offener Vollblut-Mittelmotor-Sportroadster mit extrem drehfreudigem professionell getuntem 1, 8 Liter 18V DOHC-Motor mit Multipoint-Einspritzung, auf Dynamometer gemessene 159 PS, Piper Hi-Performance-Nockenwellen, Hochleistungs-Schwungscheibe, Vernier-Pulleys, Larini-Performance-Auspuffkrümmer, Lightweight Motorhalterung, Racing-Hochleistungs-Wasserkühler, Hochleistungs-Silikon-Wasserschläuche, Ölkühler, elektronisch geregelter Dreiweg-Katalysator, Fünfgang-Transaxle-Schaltgetriebe, superleichtes extrem steifes Leichtmetall-Monocoque-Chassis (nur 65 kg schwer!), straffe Einzelradaufhängung vorne und hinten, sportlich direkte Zahnstangenlenkung, vier innenbelüftete Scheibenbremsen, Leichtmetallfelgen mit neuer Yokohama Bereifung, Kunststoff-Karosserie, zweifarbige Alcantara-Sportsitze mit eingesticktem Lotus-Logo, Sportlenkrad, volle Instrumentierung, zusätzliche Anzeige für Verbrennungstemperatur, Pioneer Stereosystem mit CD-Player, Bordkamera, Karbonfiber-Einstiegsverkleidungen, Karbonfiber-Mitteltunnelverkleidung, Leichtmetall-Schaltkulisse, Firemaster Flamebeater, einfach abzunehmendes Stoffverdeck, zusätzliches abnehmbares festes Hardtop in Wagenfarbe, viele weitere Ausstattungsmerkmale!

Der Lotus Elise war vom Start im Jahre 1996 an ein voller Verkaufserfolg. Das vom Rennwagenbauer Lotus als kompromissloser reinrassiger Sportwagen konzipierte Fahrzeug überzeugte auf Anhieb durch seine extremen Fahrleistungen. Trotz der mit original 122 PS zahlenmäßig gering anmutenden Motorleistung des serienmäßigen Modells nimmt es der Elise mit weit stärkeren Konkurrenten mit Leichtigkeit auf. Dank des minimalen Eigengewichtes, des Mittelmotors und dem besonders tiefen Schwerpunkt lässt er seine Gegner meist recht alt aussehen. Sein Handling ist allenfalls mit einem Gokart zu vergleichen.

Das hier vorliegende Exemplar mit seinen 159 PS ist allerdings mit dem Serien-Modell überhaupt nicht mehr vergleichbar. Am diesem scheitern auch mächtige Gegner, vorausgesetzt man kann mit dieser Rakete umgehen! Letzteres will allerdings gelernt sein und erfordert einiges an Training. Selbst wenn man sich schon im Grenzbereich wähnt, ist man davon noch meilenweit entfernt!

Man merkt sofort, dass die Entwicklungsingenieure aus dem Rennsport kommen! Das Auto ist frei von jeglichem Firlefanz, das nackte Aluminium in Innenraum lässt vergessen, dass man eigentlich in einem Straßensportwagen sitzt. Gleich nach den ersten Metern in diesem Auto kommt so richtig Rennatmosphäre auf! Wie es sich für einen "echten" Engländer geziemt, ist der Racer rechtsgelenkt. Erstaunlicherweise gibt es keine Probleme mit dem "linkshändigen" Schalten, wie man anfangs vermuten würde. Präzise lassen sich die Gänge wechseln und instinktiv führt man den Schalthebel exakt in die richtigen Gangpositionen. Nach wenigen Metern hat man den schnellen Kerl fest im Griff. Lediglich das Herausfinden des Grenzbereiches dauert wie oben bereits erwähnt sehr, sehr lange. Das Potential voll auszunützen was das Auto wirklich zu leisten vermag, traut man sich erst nach langer Zeit, weil es im Vergleich zu "normalen" Autos so unglaublich ist!

Der schönste Nebeneffekt dieses Sportroadsters ist aber seine atemberaubende Karosserieform! Das Styling erinnert vehement an das Design der Rundstreckenrennwagen der Sixties, welches seine Attraktivität bis heute nicht eingebüsst hat. Man sieht hier deutlich, dass es auch heute noch möglich ist ein fantastisches Design mit moderner Technik zu paaren. Es muss also nicht immer ein hässlicher einfallsloser Audi TT sein bei dem man kaum erkennt wo vorne und hinten ist! Es geht sichtlich auch anders!

Das vorliegende Fahrzeug hat österreichische Papiere und kann deshalb in alle Staaten der EU abgabenfrei eingeführt werden. Es befindet sich in sehr gutem Gesamtzustand und weist erst 61. 000 Meilen Laufleistung auf. Vor etwa 9. 500 Kilometern wurde der gesamte Wagen in einschlägiger Fachwerkstätte für Sport- und Luxusautos generalüberholt. Dabei wurde der Motor überholt und auf 159 PS getunt, das Kühlsystem aufgerüstet, die Lichtmaschine erneuert und das gesamte Fahrwerk überarbeitet und an die Mehrleistung angepasst. Es wurde ein neues Bremssystem verbaut, neue Scheinwerfer montiert und die Windschutzscheibe wegen eines Steinschlages erneuert. Im Zuge dieses Upgrades wurde auch eine komplett neue Klimaanlage eingebaut.

Der Eigentümer dieses Traumautos, ein bekannter international tätiger Musiker, möchte sich aus Zeitmangel von dem außergewöhnlichen Sportwagen trennen. Wir sind stolz, dass er uns damit beauftragt hat ein neues Zuhause für seinen Liebling zu finden. Das Auto ist in unserem Ausstellungszentrum in Klein- Pöchlarn ausgestellt wo es gegen vorherige Vereinbarung jederzeit gerne besichtigt werden kann! Unsere Öffnungszeiten sind von Mittwoch bis Samstag von 10:00 bis 12:00 und von 14:00 bis 18:00 Uhr.
