Our Take:

Lotus Elan Turbo (M100): A Rarity in the Lotus Lineup - The 1990 Lotus Elan Turbo was part of the first production run of the front-wheel-drive Elan, known as the M100. Lotus only produced about 3,855 units between 1989 and 1995, making this model relatively rare. It stands out in Lotus history as their attempt at combining British craftsmanship with Japanese reliability—using the Isuzu powertrain.
Engineered for Superior Handling - Often mentioned alongside legends like the Honda Integra Type R, the Elan Turbo is renowned for its exceptional handling. Thanks to its carefully tuned suspension and low center of gravity provided by the fiberglass body, it corners like it's on rails. It often surprises those who think front-wheel-drive cars can't be this much fun to drive.
Fiberglass Construction: A Nod to Rust-Free Longevity - With its fiberglass body, the Elan eliminates the common rust issues that plague many older vehicles. This not only keeps it looking sleek but is a bit of a time capsule, preserving its original lines and details just as they were intended. It's like driving a piece of preserved history down the street!
A Blend of International Influence and Performance - The use of the Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo powertrain is a highlight, blending Lotus's legendary chassis engineering with Isuzu's durable and reliable engine. It’s a crossover many enthusiasts appreciate, giving it a unique position within both British and Japanese car enthusiast circles. Plus, the manual transmission adds a layer of driver engagement that keeps purists smiling.
