The Lotus, as we know it today, was almost named "Austin Seven Special" - that was the name it was given as its creator Colin Chapman worked on his first car in a lock-up garage behind his girlfriend's house in 1947. As the technology progressed, so did the name. Since that time, Lotus has been a leader in performance and design. Lotus automobiles have enjoyed Grand Prix success since 1960. Featured in the James Bond film, the “Spy Who Loved Me” in 1977, the 1989 blockbuster hit, "Pretty Woman," and the 1992 classic “Basic Instinct” the Lotus has enjoyed as much fame as the stars who drove it in the film. Soon, fans will take the wheel of one of three Lotus cars featured in Test Drive Unlimited and star in their own race for fame and glory!

Lotus Elise R

The Lotus Elise R adds superb power to the Lotus stable of cars. Its VVTL-i engine (Variable Valve Timing and Lift-Intelligent) produces maximum power output of 190 bhp and boasts 133 lb-ft of torque. The Elise R sprints to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds before reaching a certified top speed of 150 mph. The Lotus enjoys a flurry of colors, totaling 21 custom colors in all. This is truly a car that loves to be driven.

Lotus Esprit V8

Celebrating 30 years of this automobile, the 2002 Lotus Espirit V8 received a face lift. This bad boy features a 3.5 Liter Twin Turbo V-8, Allied Signal T25 Turbos, and an all-aluminum engine. On the roads of Oahu, you'll push it to 175 mph and enjoy a breakneck jump of 0 - 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.

Lotus Sport Exige R240

Lotus Sport, the performance division of Lotus Cars Ltd., has developed the Lotus Sport Exige 240R, a limited edition high performance sportscar with total global build volumes kept strictly to 50 cars.

All 50 cars were built to order and to further identify and maintain the exclusivity of the Lotus Sport Exige 240R, they were only be available in Sport Yellow or Sport Black – both unique and exclusive colours specifically blended to denote the brand colour scheme of Lotus Sport.
