1964-1966 Lotus Elan S2<\/h1>\n
\n

In November of 1964 Lotus upgraded the Elan to S2 specification that included better Girling Disc brakes and numerous body changes. It was also the car that brought Lotus back into full-scale production and so they began to offer more options.<\/span><\/p>\n

The S2 was was also the first model available with an S\/E package. The S\/E was a heavier car with some interior appointments such as safety belts and deluxe carpeting. It also got a \u201cC\u201d camshaft that raised power to 115 hp and a dual-circuit master cylinder with vacuum assist.<\/p>\n

The S2 introduced a full-width veneer wood dash with a lockable glove compartment. The car also got clustered rear tail lights.<\/p>\n

For the S2, Lotus cast their own block as Ford stopped production of the Ford Cortina 116E. The new 2731E block was virtually identical, but the cylinder-head featured a new stiffening rib between spark plus #2 and #3. Detail upgrades included iron tappet sleeves, stronger 125E connecting rods and a 6-bolt flywheel.<\/p>\n

Team"},"description":"Regular people by day, car obsessed nutcases by night. We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
