Lotus Elise and Exige 1995-2020 - The Complete Story
The Lotus Elise, named after Elisa Artioli, granddaughter of Lotus owner Romano Artioli, debuted at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. Over the next 25 years, it became a symbol of Lotus engineering and secured a unique place in the global sports car market.
