2015 Lotus Elise Release Date - Toyota-sourced 2.0-liter I-4 will produce as much as 316 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to counter higher curb weight and a slightly larger footprint than new cars. wqzxc This may be a turbocharged engine, because the small-displacement engine can be more efficient than the turbo supercharger. Since Elise is the smallest, lightest Lotus, and simple, it's optional hybrid solution will be limited to simplified start-stop system.
