Just 3,855 examples were produced between 1989 and 1992 making this a great find.

This Elan M100 is the turbocharged variant producing approximately 162 horsepower. The motor in this Lotus is an Isuzu sourced 1,588cc turbocharged inline 4 cylinder.

You are going to love this Lotus. With less than 20,000 miles on the odometer, and being garage kept, it looks so beautiful. Service has been perfectly maintained, and it recently received a new catalytic converter. The interior is equipped with a 10- touch screen that can be used for the newly installed blind spot monitor, as well as your radio. Also, behind the seats is a fantastic wind visor for better convenience and comfort while driving.

These M100-s are known for their controllability and excellent handling. It is not often that a front wheel drive sports car performs as well as this in the corners. Because of the extremely light weight of this Lotus, the estimated 162hp will get you to your destination in a hurry.

This Elan M100 is the turbocharged variant producing approximately 162 horsepower. The motor in this Lotus is an Isuzu sourced 1,588cc turbocharged inline 4 cylinder. This motor was extensively modified by Lotus. Some of the modifications to the engine include a new exhaust system, rerouted intake plumbing, improved engine suspension, and modifications to the engine control unit to improve torque and boost response.

Within the last 2 years a lot of work, time, and money has gone into making this Lotus the beautiful car it is today. In that time, it received a new PPG paint finish, a new convertible top, new seat upholstery, new carpeting, and all general maintenance was performed. This car has always been garage kept.

The 1989-92 model was the first and only front-wheel-drive Lotus ever made. Despite professional reviewers' praise for the car's handling, balanced transitions, and lack of torque steer at its introduction, chat rooms were filled with complaints that the M100 is front-wheel drive. Of course, most of these purists likely have never driven one. If they had, they would know that it is regarded as one of, if not THE best-handling, FWD cars in history. Only 3,855 were built for worldwide consumption before initial production ended in 1992, and fewer than 600 of those were sold in the U. S.

Now is your chance to own one of those 600 U. S. cars. Powered by a turbocharged 1. 5L (roughly 95 cubic inch) dual overhead cam 4-cylinder engine that's putting out 162 HP (almost 2 HP/cubic inch), with a proper 'driver mod' notching the shifts on its 5-speed manual, you'll see 60 MPH in about 6 seconds (6. 5 to be exact). Its lightweight fiberglass body sits atop one of Lotus' hallmark steel backbone chassis. And, with its unequal-length wishbones and coil springs and a swaybar up front, and centrally mounted upper and lower wishbone with coil-over shocks out back, driving this...
