Now that the sublime Elise is firmly established in the U.S., Lotus has several follow-up cars on the way, including a new GT due next year. Though the body design of this car is all new, the chassis is a variant of the Elise's extruded-aluminum frame, stretched by several inches to give better cockpit space. The car's roof is higher, and the chassis side rails lower to allow easier cockpit ingress. The trunk is larger, and there'll be extra storage space behind the front seats, reached via a hatchback.

Whenever you hear about these new eco-friendly cars, there is something very sheen about these temptresses that makes them so buyable in spite of their high price. At the right time enters Lotus with its environment friendly concept based sports car Elise, debuting in less than a fortnight at the London Motor Show. So what makes this car unique in comparison to rest of the ‘green’ cars?
