Seeing the success of the Lotus
Elise inspired German firm Yes! to come up with a similar machine
using a turbocharged Volkswagen 1.8-liter engine.
Like the
Lotus, the engine was mid-mounted in an aluminum chassis with
composite bodywork. However, the Yes! tipped the scales at 900KG
(1984LB) compared to the original Elise’s 731KG (1612LB).
