Experience pure 90s British sports car character with this 1996 Lotus Elan (M100) by KIA, South Korea — one of only 1,056 units ever produced, and this example being Production No. 276. Combining Lotus’ legendary chassis engineering with KIA’s reliable powertrain, this rare roadster embodies lightweight philosophy and open-top driving excitement that modern cars simply can’t replicate.

Recently refreshed in Dubai (August 2025) with a full professional repaint in British Racing Green (Original Lotus Color) by 55 Car Care, Dubai, this Elan presents in outstanding condition with 95%+ original parts and meticulous documented maintenance. The vehicle is Dubai registered (December 2024 | Plate: CC43660) and was proudly approved and displayed at Grand Picnic 2026 (Feb 15).

Powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder DOHC (KIA T8D Hi-Cam) engine producing 151 HP and 19.0 kg.m of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the Elan delivers lively acceleration and precise driver control. With a curb weight of just 1,070 kg, its lightweight construction and finely tuned suspension provide exceptional cornering balance and confidence through winding roads.

Inside, the cabin reflects classic sports car simplicity — supportive bucket seats, analog gauges, and a driver-focused layout. The soft-top convertible roof allows you to enjoy open-air motoring, making every drive a memorable experience.

A true modern classic, the Lotus Elan stands out for its rarity, documented history, unique front-wheel-drive layout, and timeless design — making it an excellent choice for collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.
