The 2009 Lotus 2-Eleven is a lightweight sports car that appears in Forza Motorsport 3 as part of the AutoWeek Car Show Pack and in all subsequent main titles of the Forza series.
The 2-Eleven was first introduced in 2007 to replace the Lotus 340R as a track car that could be optioned for road use. It has a chassis weighing 1642 lb (745 kg) that is powered a supercharged 252 hp engine and is officially claimed to boast 'a power to weight ratio similar to that of a 1960's Formula One car.'
The 2-Eleven continued production until 2011 and was replaced by the 3-Eleven.
Description
"The 2-Eleven is by any standard an extreme car. In the United States (and likely other jursidictions), it’s so extreme it can’t be driven on the street, and lives only on racetracks (where it must be admitted it is most at home). However, in Lotus’ home market, for a small fee you can have Lotus equip the 2-Eleven for road use with lights, mirrors, and the like. That being said, it takes a strong nerve to drive this minimalist car, with no top, windscreen, or amenities like a carpet or radio, on the road. In particular, the car’s unique qualities might be a hindrance too, as the 2-Eleven single-handedly seeks to redefine “extreme performance.” Weighing just 1,650 lbs., and with 251 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged 1.8-liter motor, the 2-Eleven is superlative in virtually every performance metric—despite technicalities, the 2-Eleven is truly a racecar. It’s also a worthy successor to its namesake, the original Lotus 11, a similarly light and powerful car for its day."—forzamotorsport.net[1]
Design
The 2-Eleven is based on a rear-biased chassis from the Lotus Exige with bolt-on composite body panels and FIA compliant safety equipment. Weighing just 1642 lb (745 kg), it is the lightest Lotus production car to appear in the Forza series.
Its Toyota supplied 1.8 litre inline-four engine with variable valve timing has been upgraded with a roots-type Eaton supercharger and puts down 252 hp (188 kW) at 8000 rpm and 179 ft·lb (243 N·m) of torque at 7000 rpm. As a transmission choice, the 2-Eleven is fitted with a Toyota C64 six-speed manual gearbox.[2]

Performance
The rev-happy engine of the 2-Eleven provides decent acceleration times as shown by a 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) time in 3.8 seconds and 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) time in 8.9 seconds. With a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h) it ranks as average among other road-legal track day cars but shows particular strengths in handling: Owing to a light rear-biased chassis, the 2-Eleven has a very direct steering and can easily stay planted in corners, although its rear does have a slight chance of swerving out.
