Lotus Cars has added two new variants to its model portfolio in Malaysia with new variants of the Elise and Exige officially launched today.

Joining the Exige model family is the new Exige S Automatic that began selling in the UK this January and now open for orders in Malaysia. It is powered by a Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre supercharged V6 with peak output of 346hp, enabling it to sprint from rest to 100kph in 3.8 seconds – 0.1 seconds faster than its manual sibling.

Meanwhile, in conjunction with the ongoing marketing campaign of Great Britain by the British High Commission in Malaysia, the Elise gets a special limited-run commemorative Lotus Elise Great Britain edition.

Based on the recently introduced Elise 20th Anniversary edition, the Elise Great Britain is offered with a number of standard and optional features that are unique to the Malaysian market. Offered with a choice of three metallic colours – silver, white, and yellow – the Elise GB sports distinctive Union Jack decals on its side intakes.

Its key enhancement is a ‘Sport Pack’ which includes lightweight forged wheels, lightweight center console, lightweight black cloth trimmed Sport Seats and Bilstein Sport Dampers. Drivers can activate a ‘Sport’ driving mode that sharpens throttle response and raises slip thresholds of the vehicles traction control for sportier driving.

Additional options available with the Elise Great Britain include a soft top as well as a Black Style Pack consisting of matt black wheels and matt black rear diffuser. The first three customers of the vehicle will be given a complimentary Touriing Pack that replaces the vehicle’s standard seats with Ebony Black leather sport seats.
