Lotus has restyled the Elise for the first time in 7 years. While the new front isn't nearly as aggressive looking, it does reduce the coefficient of drag by 4%. The Elise will be powered by the same 1.8 liter Toyota engine available with either 189hp N/A or 218 when supercharged. A 1.6 liter engine putting 134hp will also be available in the U.K.
