The ZR 120 came with a 1.8 K series engine which produced 115 bhp (86 kW; 117 PS) and 160 N·m (120 lb·ft) torque giving a 0–60 mph of 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 119 mph (192 km/h).
The range-topping ZR 160 came with a 1.8 K Series VVC engine producing 157 bhp (117 kW; 159 PS) and 174 N·m (128 lb·ft) torque giving a 0–60 mph of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 131 mph (211 km/h).
There were also two diesel variants of the ZR, the first being the ZR TD 100 which had a 2.0 L Series engine that made 99 bhp (74 kW; 100 PS) and 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) torque giving a 0-60 mph of 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h).
The other diesel engined ZR was the TD 115 which came with the same 2.0 L series engine but with some minor performance enhancements (improved ECU map), to produce 111 bhp (83 kW; 113 PS) and 260 N·m (190 lb·ft) torque, which saw the car have a 0-60 mph of 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 116 mph (187 km/h).
actually There were few HGF failures on the Elise and the later MGF and TF models when Rover improved the head gasket design.....in fact head gasket failures were pretty uncommon after the problem was identified and dealt withBANzai Rastafarai wrote:

Lotus moved to the Toyota engine because it needed a federalized engine in order to enter the US market, NOT because of HGF issues. It would not have made financial sense to have production cars with two engine options so they dropped the Rover K series, which was nearing the end of its development life cycle anyway.....
