The 2002 Lotus Elise Sports Tourer (Series 2) is the base model of the mid-engined roadster by Lotus, and represents the second generation of the Lotus Elise range.
Initially, the Elise boasted a 1.8L inline-four engine by Rover before it was replaced by a Toyota engine in 2004.
Games[]
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2[]
The Lotus Elise appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 as a class 5 vehicle in the PC, GameCube, and Xbox releases; and as a class E vehicle in the PlayStation 2.
It is available from the beginning in the PC, GameCube, and Xbox releases, but is unlocked after completing Ultimate Racer event #1, Lotus Elise Delivery, in the PlayStation 2 release.
The Lotus Elise is the slowest car in the game due to its weak engine. On the other hand, it has excellent handling allowing it to exit corners at a higher speed than heavier cars like the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG. Very delicate handling is required, as the Elise can irrecoverably lose traction if oversteered.
NFS Edition[]
The NFS Edition is unlocked after collecting 4,000 NFS points in the PC, GameCube, and Xbox releases, but in the PlayStation 2 release it is unlocked after collecting 250,000 NFS points.
Trivia[]
- In the PlayStation 2 release of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, the Elise can be unlocked by entering a button sequence at the main menu; Triangle, R2, Triangle, R2, Left, Square, Left, Square.
