Description
The Lotus 2 Eleven, launched in 2008, is a spectacular embodiment of the Lotus philosophy of lightness and high performance. This ultra-lightweight model is designed primarily for track use, although it is technically road-legal in some markets. With its minimalist approach and extreme focus on driving dynamics, the 2 Eleven offers a pure and exhilarating driving experience, typical of Lotus creations. Powered by a supercharged 1. 8-litre four-cylinder engine, derived from the Lotus Exige S, the 2 Eleven develops around 252bhp, which is remarkable given its featherweight of less than 750kg. This combination enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ h in less than 4 seconds, offering competition-level performance. The aerodynamics of the 2 Eleven are optimised to maximise downforce without excessively compromising wind resistance. It features a large rear spoiler, a prominent front splitter, and side deflectors that help channel air efficiently around the bodywork. The interior of the 2 Eleven is extremely uncluttered, with racing bucket seats, safety harnesses and a simplified dashboard. The absence of a traditional roof and windscreen reinforces the driver's visceral connection with the racing environment, making every lap on the track an immersive and intense experience. The Lotus 2 Eleven is a demonstration of engineering dedicated to sporting performance, offering drivers an extremely capable and exciting machine to drive. Its limited production run and radical capabilities make it a leader among lightweight sports cars and an object of desire for driving purists and trackside thrill-seekers. Of the rare examples produced, only 14 road-legal versions have been registered in France, making this model even more exclusive and sought-after. Put into circulation on 05/ 06/ 2008, this example benefits from a certificate of conformity with original homologation, guaranteeing its authenticity and legality on the road. Second-hand, it has a complete file with service books, certified original mileage and a clear history, having never been involved in an accident or used on a racetrack. A full service will be carried out before the sale, to ensure that the car is in perfect working order for its future owner.
