The American SetA Lotus Pulled by Its Front Wheels: The 1992 Elan Faces the Test
The 1992 Lotus Elan sends its power through the front wheels, a layout that breaks with what the badge has traditionally stood for, and Car and Driver has put it to the test. For owners and collectors who follow a marque model year by model year, a car that so plainly breaks with convention is worth noting. The front-driven Elan is a deliberate change of direction, and it has now been driven and judged on its own terms. Anyone with an eye for unusual sports cars, whether their garage is in Naples or Aspen, will want to know where this one stands.
With reporting from Car and Driver.
