Vehicle Description

**For Sale: 2006 Lotus Elise – Ardent Red | Tan Leather | 6-Speed Manual | 48,000 Miles**

Offered here is a pure driver’s car in its most elemental form — the **2006 Lotus Elise**, finished in classic **Ardent Red** over a rare **tan leather interior**, and showing just **48,000 miles**

Lightweight, agile, and incredibly connected to the road, the Elise delivers an unmatched driving experience thanks to its featherlight **curb weight of under 2,000 lbs**, bonded aluminum chassis, and razor-sharp steering. Powered by a rev-happy **1.8L DOHC 16-valve Toyota-sourced inline-4 engine**, paired to a **6-speed manual gearbox**, the Elise produces 190 hp — more than enough to launch this 1,950-lb machine from 0–60 in just **4.9 seconds**

This example is a **2006 U.S.-market model**, part of a production run that totaled only **2,017 cars** for that year. Of those, Ardent Red was one of the most popular exterior colors, but tan leather interiors were comparatively rare, making this spec both striking and unique.

Everything about this Elise is focused on one thing: **the driving experience**. From its exposed aluminum elements and analog gauges to the unassisted steering and direct throttle response, the Elise is a throwback to a time when less truly meant more. It’s a car that rewards skill, precision, and engagement — and reminds you why you fell in love with driving in the first place.
