The Lotus Elite is a distinguished model name used by Lotus for two notable sports cars across different eras. The first-generation Elite (Type 14, 1957-1963) was a pioneering lightweight coupe known for its innovative fiberglass monocoque construction and aerodynamic design. The second-generation Elite (Type 75/83, 1974-1982) evolved into a luxury GT with a more refined style and increased size, balancing performance and comfort. Both generations showcase Lotus's engineering focus on lightweight agility and distinct British sports car heritage.
