Lotus is unfurling its petals one by one. The latest to join the Exige and Elise is the Lotus 2-Eleven. It will be exhibited in the impending Geneva Motor Show fishing for all the 'Ohhs and Ahhs'. Powered by 1796 cc engine, this super race car offers a maximum power output of 252 hp at 8000 rpm and approximately 179 lb-ft of torque. This modish car can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and up to100 mph in 9.1 seconds. It will hit the production level in April 2007 at the award-winning and world-class Lotus manufacturing facility at Lotus Headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk, UK. The 2-Eleven build will be completed in dedicated Lotus Sport workshops and each vehicle will be given a Lotus Sport build plate. The car is initially available in Launch Edition specification only, which boasts a three-way Lotus Sport color scheme complete with decal pack.

A "Road Going Version" is fitted with front and rear lights, exhaust catalyst, single plane rear wing and other items to achieve compliance with road legal requirements. The "Track Only Version" is equipped with an enhanced aerodynamics package including high down force single plane carbon fiber rear wing, high down force front splitter, brake lights and rear indicators and FIA approved driver's race seat. The brake system includes 288 mm cast iron cross drilled and ventilated discs. AP Racing 2-piston calipers provide stopping power to the front wheels, while Brembo single-piston calipers take care of the rear wheels. In UK the Launch Edition will be priced at £39,995 ($77,800) while outside UK a track-only version will be available at a price of £49,575 (just over $97,000). No clue on the pricing for Japan, South Africa, and other Lotus markets.
