Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichEven a standard Lotus Elise is a thoroughbred sports car with an excellent power-to-weight ratio. However, the Elise offered here, featuring a Honda Integra Type R engine and 190 hp, sets new standards in terms of performance. It underwent a service in December 2025. This exceptional Lotus is in excellent condition and ready for its new owner.

Comments of this past auction
Liebe Bieter, es gibt spannende Neuigkeiten: Der Mindestpreis dieser schönen Elise wurde soeben gesenkt, sodass Ihre Chancen steigen. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Bieten - Ihr Kickdown Team
Welche Bewertungsstufe hat der Wagen ?
ich würde ihm eine 2 geben...
Do you have any pictures of front suspension? Any signs of corrosion on the chassis around the wishbone bobbins? I'm guessing this car originally had the rubber floor mats? How does the floor look underneath the current floor mats?
hello, yes I have pictures. Chassis and suspension are very good.no rust, damages or other bad things.
Guten Abend, war es eine original 111s elise im Ursprung? Sind die Scheiben vor den SW noch vorhanden?
Gute morgen, ja es ist eine originale 111s, die Scheinwerferblenden gibt es nicht mehr. lg mz
TÃœV bis: Information folgt ??
HU wird vor Ãœbergabe erneuert.
Guten Tag. Wo soll denn die Reise preislich hingehen ? Also zumindest wo liegt der Mindestpreis?
Gute Frage. Das hier offen zu legen würde gegen das Prinzip der Auktion verstossen. Andererseits dürfte einfach festzustellen sein, wo der Marktpreis eines solchen Autos liegt. Der Mindestpreis liegt etwas darunter.
Naja würde aber helfen da ja der Mindestpreis noch nicht erreicht wurde. Und ein Marktpreis für ne umgebaute Elise ja eher schwierig zu finden sein wird.
man findet vergleichbare autos im netz. m.e. liegt der marktpreis bei 40k, eine drei sollte aber in jedem fall davor stehen....
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
Technik: Der Wagen wurde erstmals 1995 auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung in Frankfurt am Main gezeigt. Das Konzept war ungewöhnlich: Geringe Abmessungen, ein kleiner Mittelmotor und der Verzicht auf jeglichen Komfort ergaben in Verbindung mit hochwertiger Leichtbauweise einen Sportwagen mit exzellenten Fahrleistungen zum halben Preis eines Porsche 911. Die Elise steht damit weniger in der Tradition klassischer Roadster, sondern folgt dem Motto des Firmengründers Colin Chapman „First take simplicity, then add lightness“.
