Article:
In 1997 Lotus unveiled the Lotus Elise GT1 Type 115, a derivative of the Lotus Elise and powered by a 3.5 liter eight-cylinder engine. A Hewland six-speed sequential gear box helped transfer the 580 horsepower to the rear wheels. The body is carbon-fibre and the chassis is an aluminum unit borrowed from the Elise. Ventilated disc brakes were fitted on all four-corners. The vehicle could race from zero-to-sixty in just 3.8 seconds and top speed was achieved at nearly 200 mph.
