Lotus Elite Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1974–1982) — Second Generation
The second-generation Lotus Elite combines sports-car character with an unusual three-door estate body. Your choice of engine and transmission shapes how you interact with it, particularly in everyday traffic.
Among the Lotus Elite engine and transmission combinations are the gasoline 2.0 MT, 2.0 AT and 2.2 MT, all with rear-wheel drive. The manual versions give you direct control over gear selection, while the automatic handles shifts for you and removes the need to operate a clutch pedal in traffic.
