Lotus & Yamaha


The Lotus Elise is unlike any other car ever made | Revelations with Jason Cammisa | Ep. 21
Hagerty

The Lotus Elise was introduced in 1996 and they finally quit making it last year. That means they were building this car for 25 years, which is just astounding. The thing weighs less than one ton, and that's with all the Federal safety and emissions equipment, which is also astounding.

This car lists for over $200K, but a quick search turned up several used ones for less than $50K.

At the 12:15 mark he starts talking about the Toyota engine, an engine made by Yamaha, which is kind of weird because (1) I didn't know Yamaha made engines for cars, and (2) this is like the third video I have seen today about cars with Yamaha engines. The others were the Ford Taurus SHO and a Volvo. Wikipedia has a brief summary.
