Lotus doesn't make cars to last. They make them for the track and it's assumed the owners will be doing more than normal maintenance.

Eh.. Kinda? There are plenty of running 25 y/o elises with over 100k km on them. Definitely with more maintenance than normal but it'd be mostly consumables and those 100k km won't be gentle. I doubt under the same conditions even a Toyota or Honda would wear better (and they don't have to).
