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.
