Lotus Elise S1: the best sports car of the last 25 years | PH25

The Porsche 911, Mazda MX-5 and Alpine all vied for the title, but it wasn’t even close.
The S1 takes the PH25 sports car crown with a landslide victory.
Amassing more than 10,000 votes and nearly double the amount of the 9
97 Carrera in second place just goes to show what an exceptional car the original Lotus Elise is. Following founder Colin Chapman’s mantra of “simply, then add lightness” to a tee, the S1 proved that driving nirvana could be achieved with a light-but-stiff aluminium chassis and just 120hp from a Rover-sourced 1.8-litre engine.
Mesmerising performance in the corners, a rorty motor and a relatively affordable price cemented it as a legend among enthusiasts and a deserving winner of our best sports car of the last 25 years vote.
