I think no one ever tested it. A V10 Honda with slightly less than 1000bhp, with a custom low downforce setup, reached 413km/h. Given the huge amount of power of the 1.5l engine and the weight of just 540kg, I'd say we are around 430/440 km/h, but that's just pure guessing. There are too many factors that could influence the top speed of a car.
The maximum velocity produced by a car is the same as its maximum speed. This maximum speed is typically limited by the car's engine power, gearing, and aerodynamics. It is the fastest speed the car can achieve under optimal conditions.
it realy does depend on which lotus you are looking at... however, speed has never been lotus's specialty, they are more familiar with the handling and acceleration aspect of a car, but they do exceed 135mph on the whole.
The top speed for Lotus Elise S1 is 126 M.P.H. Lotus Elise S1 is a sports car and is known to be light weight. 111S, 340R, and Exige are the three editions of Series 1 for Lotus Elise.
A lotus Elise has a small 4 cyl engine with only 134bhp but does 0.60 in 6 seconds and on to a top speed of 127 it also does 45mpg which is a major bonus for fuel economy
The maximum speed of a 1970 Peugeot 504 magazine car was approximately 89 mph.
Speedometer can determine a car's normal and maximum speed.
The top speed of the Lotus Elise S2 is 126 mph (which is equivalent to 202 km/h). This type of car can also go from 0-60mph in approximately 5.8 seconds.
The maximum speed of the cars 1963 tested by a car and driver magazine was 150 km per hour.
