    Technik: Innovatives Kernelement der Elise ist ihr Fahrgestell, das vom Lotus-Mitarbeiter Richard Rackham konzipiert, bei Lotus zur Serienreife entwickelt und vom dänischen Zulieferer Hydro Aluminium produziert wurde. Es besteht aus einer Aluminiumlegierung, wiegt lediglich 65 kg und die einzelnen Bleche und Profile sind nicht durch Schweißen, sondern durch Kleben und Nieten zusammengefügt, wobei die Niete die Schälbeanspruchung („peeling stress“) von den Klebestellen fernhalten und so ein Abreißen an den viskosen Klebestellen verhindern. Die Karosserie der Elise besteht aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff. Eine geschlossene, vom Rennsport abgeleitete Variante wird als Exige angeboten. LG Tom
