How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 19 such records for Lotus alone, model years 1971 to 2024.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and for Lotus that means 19 generation rows instead of 19 year-by-year ones. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation, which is how the 11 Lotus entries below are built.
