This kind? Chaos? Instead of chaos, what? Chaos? In order. The whole body curve is round and full, the shape is exquisite and concave and convex. The body size is 3726/17011201,which is short, wide and low. Together with the huge wheel arches in the front and rear, it shows a strong style, which makes people feel aggressive and dynamic even at rest. The spacious rear and sharp rear spoiler flaunt their impeccable sports car pedigree.
Lotus Alice-Introduction
Elise series is the main model of Lotus in recent years, and its Elise S and Elise R models are famous for their excellent sports performance.
They are all small, 3.785 meters long, 1.85 meters wide and 1. 1 17 meters high, all of which are two-door and two-seat versions. The wheelbase of 2.3 meters can only be considered as an A-class car, and the weight of the whole vehicle is only 890kg. If compared with the level of a sports car, it is definitely an ultra-lightweight player, but it is only a small man. The ultra-light weight makes it have a thrust-to-weight ratio that other vehicles can't match, and the start acceleration is faster. The 6.4-second 100-kilometer acceleration is the same as TT, which is enough to make it a rare personality trot on the street.
Lotus Alice-Design
Anyone who has seen Elis will pay attention to it. The unique appearance almost subverts people's traditional concept of cars. There is definitely a concave front face on the streets of the mainland. Thanks to the central layout of the engine, this model does not need to reserve a lot of space at the front of the car. Headlights are more like two prominent eyes embedded on both sides, and the shape that hangs to the side feels dynamic. The air inlet is arranged in an arc above the hood, and the front bumper is mainly used to reduce air resistance. Compared with its R version, the S version has fewer front fog lights.
My first impression when I saw the lotus flower was that it was small and short, but the dynamic body gave people a sense of momentum, quite short and capable. The Lotus Elise I contacted this time should be the second generation product of Lotus Company, and the overall shape design integrates the essence of sports car modeling.
The front face looks domineering, with long oval lights on the left and right, extending obliquely to the rear, and with a large area of slightly rising front air intake grille, the body looks full of passion from the front, with a strong sports car atmosphere, which makes people dare not underestimate. Both sides of the car body, the front cover and the rear cover are designed with shark's cheek air intake grille, which not only improves the aerodynamic performance of the whole car, but also beautifies the car body.
Lotus Alice-indoor
When you open the car door, this beautiful and trotting interior is displayed in front of you. Compared with the gorgeous appearance, it is estimated that its interior will disappoint some people. The interior of the lotus can be said to be luxurious, and even a little simple. Dashboards are mostly made of black plastic and silver-gray aluminum, with simple layout. The driver's position is the front two instruments, the tachometer and the speedometer, except the steering wheel. What is the middle position? Simple air conditioning button and a speaker, the co-pilot position is an ordinary CD player, and nothing else. The most surprising thing is that as a two-seater sports car with a price of nearly 600 thousand, its window is actually manually operated and extremely simple. The two seats are also very common, but the wrapping is excellent. The backrest can be inflated manually, which can not only increase lumbar support but also relieve lumbar fatigue.
It can be seen from the interior that the aluminum chassis of Lotus can be reflected, because a large area of aluminum floor is exposed without any rubber bedding. However, this is also the essence of the Lotus sports car. The vehicle adopts composite body and aluminum chassis. The body connection is bonded by high-tech method, and then reinforced by aluminum rivets. In this way, the weight of the whole vehicle is very light, the net weight is only 0.7 1 ton, which is about 0. 1 ton lighter than Li Xia. Therefore, the whole interior design is based on the principle of simplicity and practicality, abandoning those impractical high-end configurations, which greatly reduces the weight of the car body, and secondly, it sends us a message: this is a sports car for driving purposes.
Lotus Alice-processing performance
The distance between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is very close, which is convenient for smooth toe-following, but don't wear wide-soled shoes to enter the cockpit, because it will make your right foot feel fuzzy and risk stepping on the wrong pedal. The small-sized three steering wheels only have 2.8 revolutions, and the transmission ratio has no virtual position directly. The aluminum alloy bar is very close to the steering wheel, and the right leg and knee are almost attached to the bar. The dashboard with black characters on a white background is easy to read, and it is designed with Gao Fancha blue background light, and the oil quantity and water temperature are displayed digitally. The whole layout is a typical racing style.
When it comes to mobility, it can only be achieved through the close cooperation between the driver and the car, but only if the driver has enough driving skills and experience. Elise is a rear-drive car with a mid-engine and an ideal driving structure for sports car layout, which makes the load distribution between the front and rear axles reach 38: 62. The performance in the middle and outside of the curve is impeccable, but the fly in the ointment is that the turning radius is too large. Elise is equipped with a newly designed shock-absorbing system, and biLStein in Germany is extremely shock-absorbing.
There is almost no buffer, and the road feeling is particularly clear, even if you run over a wet grass root, you can feel it. The impact of the front wheel on the road surface and the feedback of the lateral force are almost all transmitted to the steering wheel. Without the help of any parts, it is equally handy to control and doesn't look cumbersome. Everything is to give the driver the most authentic feedback. The body and chassis are designed with strict reference to aerodynamics, with the aim of steadily increasing downforce and improving its acceleration performance.
Lotus Alice-Power System
1.8 liter engine maximum power 122 horsepower @5000 rpm, maximum torque 168 nm, 4500 rpm. With a 5-speed manual gearbox, this equipment looks unremarkable, but when it is used on a body with only 7 10 kg, the result is completely different. To 200 kilometers. Elis's oil consumption is relatively economical. Even if you keep driving at a high speed, the maximum fuel consumption in the city will not exceed 100 kilometers 10 liter. However, the mid-engine needs cold air to cool down in time, and long-term traffic jam will cause the water temperature to be too high. Step on the heavy clutch pedal with strong toughness, twist the key in your hand, and the engine behind you slams, just like waking up a sleeping lion. A grumpy low roar will stimulate your eardrums without any cover. The running of the engine brings restless vibration to the car body, and it is extremely dissatisfied with the static state.
Quickly push the gear lever into 1 gear, step on the accelerator pedal deeply, and release the clutch with your left foot. Strong torque makes the rear wheels slip and idle. The light body is like a cheetah that starts in an instant. The rotation speed rises rapidly until the red shift of 6500 rpm? When the indicator light is on, don't let the loud roar of the engine disturb your square inch. Hold the steering wheel constantly shaking with the left hand, make precise coordination with the left foot and the right hand, and pull the heavy gear handle with the right hand to drag the gear into the second gear. The gear is very tight, the shift stroke is very short, and the shift is accompanied by clicking mechanical sound. After that, the momentum became stronger and stronger, which made your heart beat faster, your breath was short, your blood was boiling, and the excitement spread from your spine to your hair tips, intertwined with the strong wind that passed through your hair tips?
