Stage 2 AI Performance Chip Module OBD2 for Lotus – Adaptive Power & Fuel Efficiency

Simplify, Add Lightness, and Unleash Power

Colin Chapman’s philosophy defined Lotus: "Simplify, then add lightness." Your Lotus is the purest expression of driving capability on the road today. Whether you are carving canyons in an Elise, touring in an Evora GT, or experiencing the new era with an Emira, your car is built for connection. However, even in these driver-focused machines, the factory ECU (often managing Toyota or AMG-sourced powerplants) is restricted by global emissions standards, dampening the throttle response and softening the mid-range punch needed for perfect corner exits.

The Stage 2 SMARTTUNE with AI Technology is the lightweight, high-performance upgrade your Lotus demands. This is not a generic tuning box; it is a precision-engineered, AI-driven OBD2 module that specifically identifies and interfaces with your Lotus’s engine management system. It learns your driving style—whether you are on a spirited Sunday drive or pushing limits at a track day—to unlock the razor-sharp response and torque that maximizes your power-to-weight ratio.

Optimized for Supercharged and Turbo Precision

Lotus engines, from the high-revving 1.8L to the supercharged 3.5L V6 and the potent AMG 2.0L Turbo, are engineering gems. Our AI technology is specifically calibrated to adapt to the unique lightweight flywheel feel and rapid transient response of these vehicles, ensuring the tune enhances the car's agility.

• Supercharged Urgency: For Evora and Exige owners, the Supercharged V6 provides great linear power, but factory mapping can delay the "bite." We optimize the signal to provide up to 50% better throttle response, ensuring instant power delivery for precise heel-and-toe downshifts and throttle steering.
• Turbocharged Torque: For the Emira i4 (AMG engine), turbo lag is the enemy of balance. The SMARTTUNE optimizes boost onset to reduce lag, making the power delivery feel more linear and predictable mid-corner.
• Power-to-Weight Multiplier: In a light car, every bit of power is magnified. Gain up to 28.6 ft·lbs of added torque. In a chassis weighing under 3,000 lbs, this torque gain is transformative, launching you out of tight hairpins with ferocity.
• Cam-Switch Smoothing: For older Elise/Exige models with the high-lift cam switch-over (VVTL-i), the chip helps smooth the torque dip before the cams engage, providing a broader, more usable powerband.

Custom Programmed for Your Specific Lotus

This module utilizes the OBD2 port to detect your vehicle's specific VIN and powertrain profile. It then applies the correct mapping adjustments tailored to your exact model generation.

• Models Supported: Specifically calibrated for Emira (V6 & i4), Evora (S/400/GT/GT410), Exige (S/Cup/Sport), Elise (S/R/SC), and Esprit V8 (OBD2 models).
• Engine Tech: Automatically detects and adjusts for Toyota 2GR-FE V6 (Supercharged/NA), 2ZZ-GE/1ZR-FAE 4-cylinder, AMG M139 Turbo, and Lotus V8.
• Adaptive Learning: The onboard AI processor analyzes your specific vehicle's sensor data over the first 200 miles, creating a bespoke map that prioritizes throttle sharpness and linear power delivery.

Typical Stage 2 Gains

100% Safe and Track Ready

Lotus owners drive their cars harder than most. The SMARTTUNE is engineered to be completely safe, non-invasive, and reliable enough for the rigors of spirited driving.

• No Weight Penalty: The device weighs mere ounces. It adheres to the Lotus philosophy of adding performance without adding unnecessary bulk.
• No Warranty Flags: The module does not "flash" or permanently rewrite the ECU. It operates as a live signal optimizer. To return to stock for a dealer service, simply unplug it. It leaves no digital footprint.
• Plug-n-Play Simplicity: No need to remove the clam shell or access the tight engine bay. It installs in seconds via the OBD2 port located in the driver's footwell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on the new Emira?
Yes. Whether you have the Supercharged V6 or the AMG Turbo Inline-4, the chip detects the engine type and optimizes the specific fueling and boost parameters for that powertrain.

Is it safe for the Supercharger?
Absolutely. The chip optimizes the air/fuel mixture to ensure the engine runs efficiently and safely under boost, often lowering exhaust gas temperatures by preventing lean conditions.

Will it help my Elise on the highway?
Yes. While the Elise is a track toy, the added torque helps significantly in top gear, allowing you to pass traffic without always having to drop two gears to find the power.

Does it affect the Traction Control?
No. The chip enhances engine output. Your Lotus Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) system will still function perfectly to keep the car planted, just with more power available at the wheels.
