There is a formula for everything in life if you want to achieve greatness or perfection for the task at hand. For Lotus it has always been a formula of adding lightness, and critiquing balance and appropriate power. On paper, a 1,477 pound car with 252 HP, open cockpit, mid-engine and designed purely to get lap times as low as possible would leave most wondering which Lotus, from what era? That’s the charm of the Lotus 2-Eleven.
