Lotus Seven

The Lotus Seven is a small, simple, lightweight two-seater open-top sports car from Lotus, which has been called "a motorcycle on four wheels". It is characterised by extremely high acceleration (0–60 mph in 3.1 seconds) and a mid-range top speed (up to 250 km/h, or 155 mph, depending on engine).

The original Lotus Seven was launched in 1957, after the Lotus Eleven was in (limited) production. (The name was left over, due to a model having been abandoned or re-names.) The Lotus Seven Series 2 (S2) followed in 1960, and the Series 3 (S3) in 1968.

The Lotus Seven has a timeless classic appeal, yet technically it's more than a match for current performance cars. Over the years, it has broken many records and continues to impress the media with its awesome dynamic capabilities.
