About Lotus Car Driving Experiences

Engineering maverick Anthony Bruce Chapman's ingenuity & technological genius saw the creation of the first Lotus in 1948, all in the humble confines of his girlfriend's garage and equipped only with a power drill. From these humble beginnings came a quintessentially British supercar and a haul of international motorsport successes.

Lotus cars combine agility with effortless style promising gravity-defying handling and thrilling speeds. Lotus Cars, to steal a phrase from one J Timberlake, brought sexy back. No stranger to motorsport success, Lotus' first F1 victory came in 1960 at the Monaco Grand Prix, piloted by the illustrious hands of none other then Stirling Moss. Incorporating mysterious things like aluminum extrusion frames and composite body shells, the Lotus Elise reaches 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds, lashing wickedly fast speeds of up to 150mph.

The long held ingredient to Lotus' success is the design mantra, "Performance through light weight", uttered in yesteryear by Mr. Chapman himself. Emphasising driving purity, the synergy of lightweight cars with relatively low power outputs ensures these bad boys punch well above their weight, guaranteeing a driving experience that puts other supercars to shame.

Lotus Car Facts

  • Shaken, not stirred: Lotus cars have appeared in no less then two incredible James Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me in 1977, and For Your Eyes Only in 1981.
  • The initials ABC above the Lotus symbol refer to the founder Anthony Bruce Chapman. We don’t think there was anyone actually called Bavarian Motor Works, but one never knows…
  • The Lotus Elise was named after "Elisa", the grand-daughter of the chairman of Lotus at the time of the car's launch.

If the Elise were music, it would be blues. Raw, emotional, stripped back and pared-down. Something that touches your soul.

Lotus Exige Experience at Thruxton

Boasting a top speed of 147 mph, the Lotus Exige offers an unforgettable driving experience at one of the UK’s fastest racing circuits, the formidable Thruxton. Lashing 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, the 189bhp Lotus Exige comes with a price tag of over £30,000 so this is your chance to get behind the wheel of a British supercar at a crazily good price.

Lotus Elise Experience at Rockingham

Don a tweed and flat cap, and clamber aboard a quintessential nugget of British motoring, the Lotus Elise. A racing experience complete with instructor, you aspiring McQueens and McClarens are promised high-octane thrills as you hone your handling, and tweak your technique.

Lotus Elise Experience

The result of over two years of research and development, the Lotus Elise is capable of travelling at Ludicrous Speed. Encompassing a whole series of design innovations, like a hand-finished fibreglass body shell atop an aluminium extrusion and bonded frame, driving the Lotus Elise is supercar driving at its best.


Customer Reviews of Lotus Driving Experiences

Got this driving experience from the mrs for christmas and had a boss time! Lotus elise is a class sports car and on the racetrack you could really give it some and race around like you were the Stig on Top Gear!

Kieron Sanderson, Skelmersdale

Since I went on this Lotus Elise driving experience I have fallen in love with this sports car and really badly want one of my own! It drives so well and is a beautiful machine! My moment behind the wheel was just too good

Jay Derbyshire, Keighley

My husband has never had the opportunity to drive a really nice car so when I got a spot bonus at work I decided to spend it on a driving experience for him as a surprise. Booked the Lotus Exige experience because it was close to us and included 7 laps behind the wheel which is a lot more than most driving experiences. He had a lovely time, so I recommend it wholeheartedly to others.
