Description

AI Overview Learn more The Lotus Elan M100, launched in 1989, was a front-wheel-drive sports car with a choice of either a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated (130bhp) or turbo (162bhp) Isuzu engine. While the naturally aspirated version, the 1.6 non-turbo, was a rarer option, it offered a unique Lotus experience. Here's a more detailed look at the Lotus Elan M100: Key Features: Engine: The Elan M100 featured a 1.6-liter straight-four engine, available in both naturally aspirated and turbo versions. Handling: The Elan was known for its fantastic handling, a hallmark of Lotus sports cars. Design: The "cab-forward" design, while not universally loved, was aerodynamically effective. Production: A total of 3855 Elans were built between November 1989 and July 1992, including 129 naturally aspirated (non-turbo) cars. Limited Edition: A limited edition of 800 S2 M100s with styling revisions and a catalytic converter was manufactured between June 1994 and September 1996. Commercial Success: The Elan was not a commercial success, with sales projections falling short. Lotus Heritage: The Elan M100 paved the way for the iconic Lotus Elise. Rarity: The naturally aspirated (non-turbo) models are rarer than the turbocharged versions, making them potentially more sought-after by collectors.
