Lotus Elise & Emira - Side by Side

The Lotus Emira, and the Lotus Elise
Two engineering marvels - separated by 20 years.
A visual comparison of the two masterpieces.
"Simplify and Add Lightness" - Lotus creed.
For the two chassis Lotus used epoxy bonded extruded aluminum - as proven on the F-16
The infinite twisty roads of the Sierra Nevada lay at the end of my driveway - on any given weekend, there's a good chance I'm out exploring them in one of these.
