Changes for MY 2010

[Kolbenkopp]

Hi All,

just a bit of info I found in the official vehicle data documentation for the Elise. Apparently something changed for MY 2010 that lowered the consumption. Not exactly relevant for most, but I'm still wondering what changed. Anything mechanical? Or different ECU maps?

Someone must know .

It may just be Lotus using some of its up to 4% tolerance that it is allowed on the physical emissions test compared to what it publishes. No hardware or software change required.
