Lotus Elise Sport Racer

The Lotus Elise Sport Racer reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s (100 km/h in 4.98 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.15 s, tripping the lights at 106.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.03 s and the eighth mile in 8.53 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.59 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 Sport Racer

The 2010 Lotus Elise Sport Racer is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 862 kg with 220 bhp, which works out at 255 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 255 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.03 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,921st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 34th quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. Its 106.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lotus Elise Sport Racer 0-60 time?
The Lotus Elise Sport Racer reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,921st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus Elise Sport Racer quarter mile time?
13.15 s at 106.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.53 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.03 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus Elise Sport Racer have?
220 bhp and 862 kg, which is 255 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 242 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus Elise Sport Racer?
Closest here on pace: Bristol Blenheim Speedster 5.6 V8 375 (4.69 s), Alpina Roadster V8 (4.77 s), Bristol Blenheim Speedster 5.9 V8 390 (4.73 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Elise Sport Racer 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 Sport Racer is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
