Lotus Elise S2 111S

The Lotus Elise S2 111S reaches 60 mph in 5.74 s (100 km/h in 6.05 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.47 s, tripping the lights at 94.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.12 s and the eighth mile in 9.25 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Elise S2 111S

The 2002 Lotus Elise S2 111S is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 806 kg with 156 bhp, which works out at 193 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 193 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.12 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,970th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 54th quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. It leaves better than it pulls: 94.2 mph at the lights is only the 3,903rd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lotus Elise S2 111S 0-60 time?
The Lotus Elise S2 111S reaches 60 mph in 5.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,970th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus Elise S2 111S quarter mile time?
14.47 s at 94.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.12 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus Elise S2 111S have?
156 bhp and 806 kg, which is 193 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 213 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus Elise S2 111S?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti IPL G Convertible 3.7 V6 343 (5.68 s), MINI Coupé John Cooper Works (5.86 s), Infiniti Q60 Convertible 3.7 V6 VVEL 329 (5.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Elise S2 111S in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lotus Elise S2 111S is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
