Eclat
The Type 76 and Type 84 Lotus Eclat, built from 1974 to 1982, was a front engine rear drive coupe that was based on the Lotus Elite. Both versions of the Eclat used the Lotus 907 engine series, which was also used in naturally aspirated and turbo charged versions in the Lotus Esprit.

Elan
The original Elan was introduced in 1962 as a roadster, although an optional hardtop was offered in 1963 and a coupé version in 1965. It was the first Lotus road car to use the now famous steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body. At 1500 lb (680 kg), the Elan embodied the Colin Chapman minimum weight design philosophy.

Elan M100
The Elan M100 has made its mark in history as arguably the finest handling front wheel drive car ever. Having produced almost 4,000 Elans by 1992 under General Motors, in 1994 the new owner - Romano Artioli's Bugatti - set in motion a second production run for almost 800 cars. With some minor updates, the car got a second breath of life.

Elise
The Elise has a hand-finished fibreglass body shell atop its aluminium extrusion and bonded frame that provides a rigid platform for the suspension, while keeping weight and production costs to a minimum. The roadster is capable of speeds up to 150 mph. The Elise was named after Romano Artioli's, the company's former chairman's, granddaughter, "Elisa"

Exige
The original was launched in 2000 and had a 1.8 L Rover K Series engine. In 2004, the Series 2 Exige was introduced. It features a 1.8 L 16-valve DOHC Toyota/Yamaha engine that produces 190 bhp. In February 2005, Lotus announced a limited production run of 50 Exiges, using the Toyota engine with a supercharger, that increases the power output to 243 bhp.
