The LOTUS ELEVEN was a racing/sports car produced from 1956 to 1958 by Lotus Engineering in London, England. A synthesis of ideas and proven concepts from earlier Lotus competition cars, it incorporated the latest in aerodynamic theory, engine, suspension and brake technology. The Eleven became the most prolific racing car of its time and for several years dominated its class throughout the world. Over two hundred Elevens have survived and are prized by their owners as examples of the ultimate lightweight, front-engine, road-going race car.
