The 2-Eleven is the most 'track-focused' road car Lotus has ever built and the emphasis is on the "road car' bit because despite the wings, splitters, launch control, and racing stripes the Lotus 2-Eleven can be driven to the shops.

It's a lightweight track car. It has no doors, no roof and no concessions to comfort. You can't drive it on the road without a crash helmet, well you could if you like the taste of flying insects, and you don't really want to be venturing too far from home if there's rain in the air. However, when the sun is shining and you're faced with a long ribbon of empty tarmac (country road or local circuit) the Lotus 2-Eleven is just the business.

It's all about weight or the lack of it. Overall, the 2-Eleven tips the scales at 670kg, around 200kg lighter than the Elise 'S' (not a heavy car), but packs a whopping 118 more horses from its 252.bhp, supercharged, four-cylinder 16-valve Toyota engine.

The 13-piece fibreglass bodywork is constructed with a material called 'Coremat' that is pretty much the strongest non-woven (i.e. non-carbonfibre) material available. It's also cheaper and easier to produce and the 2-Eleven's suit of clothes weighs just 38kg.

Underneath, the Lotus 2-Eleven's underpinnings are a combination of the original high-sill (and therefore stiffer) Elise chassis and the latest rear subframe, accommodating the transverse mid-mounted Toyota engine. The result is a guided missile that can sprint to 60mph in 3.8 seconds, 100mph in 8.9 seconds and reach 150mph.

The 2008 Lotus 2-Eleven here has been enjoyed by one owner and covered just 4,000 miles including a few track-days. The car was completely stripped in 2012 and rebuilt to GT4 spec., including a factory 270ps upgrade, Torsen LSD, Kaz gearbox, full FIA roll cage, single seat fibreglass cover panel, Moroso sump etc. It has just been repainted in Ecurie Ecosse Blue and is in exceptional condition.

If picking up the children from school is not part of you daily vehicular requirements, then this focussed little Lotus could be the most fun you have ever had with your clothes on!
