I'm looking for information about Lotus elise

It's nice, but I already know that, I'm looking for the industrial drawing of the chassis. I want to know if it's possible to create a scoof (Edit I will say a scoop) under the car.

Sorry It's my mistake I'm French so sometime I forget some word in english
I will mean a scoop, to take some fresh air into the engine, in fact it's isn't on a lotus elise, but it's the same chassis (Opel Speedster)

You mean a NACA duct under the car to feed more air into the engine? I think you'd be better off just fitting the roof scoop the Exige uses instead. The Elise/Exige has a completely flat undertray which definitely contributes negative lift (not the same as downforce) to the car and helps it handle as well as it does. I'd be very hesitant to add a duct or scoop to the bottom of the car and mess with the flow.

Yes it is a NACA duct !!
ON the Opel speedster, the engine is a 2 liters turbo, The engine is in rear of the car, so I will cut a hole in the chassis to create a venturi effect with speed, to refresh the engine, because with the upgrade of turbo, there are too much heat, after 30 miles on racetrack, the motor oil was black !!!!
The fresh will increase the yield of the engine, by refresh air into intercooler

I scoop near the ground is probably not the best idea. The ground on a tarmac track is going to be hot - and will heat the air that it is in close proximity with. You don't want warm air to go into your intercooler.
Roof or side scoops are the way to go.
Good luck.
