Closing the Circle • Elisa Artioli interview

Filmed in Summer 2022. One Eleven Cars meets Elisa Artioli, grand-daughter of the former Lotus and Bugatti chairman, Romano Artioli and the girl whose name inspired an icon - the Lotus Elise.
Elisa talks about her passion for the Elise, what led her to purchasing the final customer Elise ever built, as well as what she loves about the Lotus community.

Once you have owned an elise you can never own anything else. I sold my beautiful red S2 and immediately and went out and bought my Green '04 S2. Love it.

Love the shot at 7:30 when she's talking about drivers of other cars who don't care about driving but about image - and a red ferrari goes past 👍🇦🇺

Really good interview with an articulate Elisa - her enthusiasm comes across really well.
Thank you.

Another great video guys. You and some other creators do this kind of video were it’s just the car and the owner talking to camera about the love they have for it. It’s a nice and intimate way to cover a car, I love them all. I derive great joy from knowing Elisa is out there as a normal Elise enthusiast with the same Lotus blood pumping through her veins as the rest of us. I always assumed “Sunshine” was gifted to her, learning she bought it only heightens my admiration and learning she badgered the factory as well… .

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it - we think it’s always interesting to find out about the people/stories behind the cars. Like you, we were delighted to discover that Elisa is a Lotus fanatic just like the rest of us!

Great great video again. Like Elisa said if someone feels excitement when sees an Elise or a topic about it. It is all about pure driving pleasure. Great to see a new video about Elise in this channel. Hoping to see more articles soon.
