In less than a fortnight’s time an enchantress will make her debut at the London Motor Show. She is Lotus’ new Eco Elise – the nouveau eco friendly cousin of Sports Elise. An entirely environmental-friendly concept, the car is inside out green! Don’t be confused. What I mean to say is, unlike, other green cars being launched by biggies of the motor world which primarily focus on cutting back the CO2 emission and switching over to hydrogen and biofuels; Eco Elise is a holistically green concept with every thing from the materials used to the tailpipe emissions is being taken care of with eco-concerns kept at the back of the maker’s mind!
A quickie on its USP’s:
- It’s constructed from sustainable stuff - eco wool, sisal and hemp.
- Even the car color comes from water-based paints.
- Has a gear change display system integrated into the dashboard- so designed to advocate greener driving; changing gears at optimum point saves fuel and reduces emissions
- To power ancillary electronic features, solar panels are installed on Eco Elise’s roof.
- Weighs 32kg less than the standard Elise S!!! (in sync with Lotus’ “performance through light weight” philosophy).
