Lotus Elise

The improvements for 2006 Model Year
The Elise and Exige ranges have been improved with more options at both ends of the user
scales. Four equipment packs are now available, two containing touring options and two
containing sports options.
The Lotus customer can now order a car that satisfies either their demands for enhanced trim
and more luxury equipment with the Touring Packs or their track and race requirements with
the Sport Packs. Touring and Sport Packs can be combined too.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) rear lights with integrated reflectors are now standard. When
compared to conventional filament bulb lights, the LED brake lights illuminate 0.2 seconds
(two-tenths of a second) quicker, which is equivalent to one Elise length at approximately 70
km/h (approximately 43 mph). The LED rear lights are also 36% lighter (around 0.6 kg total)
than the conventional filament bulb lights.
Other changes include a new window seal fitted around the door that reduces the wind-noise
into the cabin substantially, and a non linear tachometer / rev-counter dial with the unit spacing
between 3000 rpm and 10,000 rpm being greater than the spacing between 0 rpm and 3000
rpm.
For security, central locking is standard across the range.
