I recall that the Elise was named after Elisa, the granddaughter of then Lotus boss, Romano Artioli. In fact, at the unveiling of the car to the world, Elisa was sitting in the driving seat as the cover was removed from the car.

I wonder where she is now. It would be great to see a picture of her. Perhaps she should be sitting in the new Esprit when it unveiled (Well, I live in hope that a new Esprit comes along, no matter how unrealistic that is).

Couple of nice looking Elisa Artioli's on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn.

That would presume she hasn't got married and has her grandfather's name.

No real link with Lotus anymore though - obviously the Elise was under Bugatti ownership.

Let's hope her weight gain has been less dramatic than that of the Elise itself...

She was a toddler at the time, I'd hope her weight has increased quite a bit.

She was actually sitting in the car, under the cover, at the motorshow when they launched it, wearing a t-shirt saying "I am Elise" smile

There's something about the purity of those rear lights



Where are the reverse and fogs?
