Bilder! Nya Elise 135R

Post by Guest »

135R är utrustad med LSS kittet, dvs OZ fälgar, andra dämpare, fjädring och dessutom Yokohama A048 r-däck. Lotus har satt på 135 (hk) kittet och ett tuffare avgassystem.

Som ni ser är en skillnad att den svarta plasten i fronten, på sidorna och på motorhuven är nu målad i samma färg som bilen.

Pressmeddelandet

With an ever increasing amount of Lotus owners demanding more of their cars, Lotus set out to develop an Elise that would exceed all expectations. The Lotus Ride and Handling team has developed a sports suspension set-up giving its user total control over ride height settings to maximise the cars performance in any environment. Following on from this, Lotus Sport and Performance has redesigned the flow characteristics of the cylinder head specifically for the 135R to offer greater flexibility throughout the rev range.

In addition to the engine modifications, the 3-piece F1 style diffuser and exhaust system has been utilised to further enhance the performance and character of the car. Despite its exhilarating performance, the 135R manages to remain a very usable road car for everyday use, offering the driver the best of both worlds.

The specification of the car is as follows:

Engine The power output of the engine is 135bhp. This has been achieved by modifying the ports of the cylinder head to improve gas flow, mixture and cylinder filling. The standard intake manifold has been replaced by a cast alloy version as used on the 111 range. Alongside a reprogrammed ECU these modifications further improve the Elise's 'engine breathing' allowing the driver to explore maximum engine revs in all gears increasing driver enjoyment, especially during track use.

Suspension Lotus' world famous Ride and Handling team has developed an optimum set-up for both road and track use. The Elise's Bilstein dampers have been re-calibrated to give stiffer bump and rebound settings. The dampers are also fitted with adjustable upper spring platforms threaded onto the damper itself, offering a wide range of settings for any use. A 'Motorsport' adjustable anti-roll bar has also been fitted to provide optimum steering response.

Wheels & Tyres The Lotus Sport Elise 135R is fitted with O.Z. Racing one piece lightweight cast alloy 16-spoke wheels. While the rear wheel size remains unchanged the front wheel size has increased from 5.5 inches to 6.5 inches to give a more positive turn-in during track conditions. The O.Z. wheels are fitted with Yokohama AO48 tyres which have been developed in conjunction with Lotus to suit the requirements of the performance driver, with special emphasis on track use.

Body Externally the 135R will be recognisable by its striking colour and decals. Available in two new colours only, Silver Mica and Blue Mica, the 135R is fitted with two Lotus Sport 135R decals above each side repeater lamp and a larger decal at the rear. The F1 style diffuser has been utilised to accentuate aerodynamic performance.

Interior Fitting its special edition status, the 135R has a bespoke interior limited to this model only. The instrument binnacle and column cowlings are trimmed in blue Alcantara, as are the seats with additional carbon leather trim and unique embroidery. Blue footwell carpets, embroidered with the 135R logo, are removable for track days.

Det låter ganska likt den "gamla modellen" om jag får säga så.
Jag ser inte mycket bortsett från skillnaden mellan S1 och S2 som skiljer från den gamla 135S.

Lotus håller på att bli bättre på marknadsföring. "Sälj gamla ideer som nya".

Den stora skillnaden är ju LSS kittet med dämpare och r-däck, S1 135S hade väl "bara" annan växellåda, vassare motor, sportavgas, borrade skivor samt lite "kosmetika"?

Du har säkert rätt. Jag har ju inte en "äkta" 135S. Har motoruppgraderingskittet, Lotus sportdämpare, k&N luftfilter med direktinsug från luftintaget, sportavgassystem.
Sportdämparna gör en mycket större skillnad än jag trodde innan jag bytte. Bilen blir klart roligare och kvickare. Standard är den i min smak lite för understyrd (men säkert säkrare). Med sportdämpare blir den .......jag vet inte vad jag ska säga.... men "perfekt" är ett bra ord.

Jo, det skulle onekligen vara mycket kul att byta. Synd bara att LSS kittet kostar drygt 50 000 kr  :down:
