Lotus Elise S2
You wouldn’t think that Elise has an earth-shattering sound, but it does. This is why so many enthusiasts have learned to love the car, aside from the great handling and performance. A Lotus is a unique proposition and a car that you don’t see very often. This is why this model was so groundbreaking and popular (via Road & Track).
The Elise managed to carve a niche where other automakers couldn’t. The short wheelbase of the car and noteworthy styling were unlike anything else on the road at the time. Likewise, the car managed to break a lot of records and it has remained one of the most popular Lotus models of all time. It was also the base for the original Tesla Roadster, which is why the two cars look so familiar.
