Used Lotus cars
The Lotus story starts with the famous Colin Chapman, who founded the firm in 1948. A pioneering engineer of his time, Chapman brought in many modern-day design techniques and focused heavily on removing weight and parts that weren’t needed on a car to help preserve the driving experience.
That ethos hasn’t changed throughout Lotus’ range of modern cars, either, and with models like the Elise and Exige both combining lightweight construction with remarkably involving driving dynamics, they remain top choices among ‘keen’ drivers. More modern Lotus cars - like the Evora, for instance - added in a few extra creature comforts but still remained very focused on the overall driving experience.
If you’re looking at a Lotus, then it’s likely that space and practicality aren’t at the top of your priorities. While modern cars like the Eletre SUV may be more family-focused, the vast majority of Lotus vehicles - both past and present - shine a greater light on driving dynamics and sharp handling than anything else.
