This 2006 Lotus Elise embodies the pure essence of a lightweight sports car, delivering a raw and engaging driving experience unlike anything else on the road. Powered by a high-revving 1.8L naturally aspirated inline-4 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, the Elise thrives on simplicity, agility, and balance — hallmarks of Lotus engineering.

Built on a bonded aluminum chassis with a composite fiberglass body, the Elise prioritizes lightness above all, resulting in razor-sharp handling and immediate driver feedback. Weighing under 2,000 lbs, it offers a direct connection between car and driver, free from electronic interference.

Finished in stunning Chrome Orange, a rare and desirable Lifestyle Paint option, this Elise is equipped with the Sport Pack, Touring Pack, Hard Top, and Star Shield, making it one of the most 

comprehensively optioned examples available. Inside, black leather seats provide just the right blend of support and comfort for spirited driving or weekend getaways.

Notable maintenance includes:

• A comprehensive major service at 22,376 miles performed by Auto Sport Designs, covering oil and filter changes, brake fluid and coolant flushes, spark plugs, air filters, heat shield repair, and suspension checks.

• Brake system overhauls, including multiple fluid flushes and pad replacements.

• Radiator and A/C system service, with a new condenser and full system recharge completed in 2022.

• Regular synthetic oil changes, transmission fluid service, and tire replacements.

• A recent inspection and oil service performed in 2024, confirming the car’s continued mechanical integrity.

With just 29,450 miles, this two-owner Elise has been meticulously maintained with documented service history totaling over $11,000. It remains in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, showing careful ownership and proper upkeep.

Unlike the track-focused Exige, the Elise delivers a more refined ride while retaining all the precision and performance Lotus is known for. Its naturally aspirated engine offers immediate throttle response, making it ideal for winding roads, Sunday drives, and canyon carving.

This Elise presents a rare opportunity to own one of Lotus’ most iconic and analog driver’s cars — a future classic that continues to grow in appreciation and admiration among enthusiasts. If you’re seeking an unfiltered driving experience with timeless design and true collector potential, this 2006 Elise checks every box.
