Street-legal Lotus Elise S Cup confirmed
Track-day regulars are the target market for the new Lotus Elise S Cup, which is essentially a road-going version of the Elise S Cup R circuit racer.
Its specification includes a full aero package that comprises a rear wing, a diffuser, barge boards and a front splitter. Lotus says the result is a useful 66 kg (145 lbs) of downforce at 100 mph (160 km/h), or 125 kg (275 lbs) at the car’s top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h).

Also on the standard equipment list are a rollover bar, a fixed roof panel and lightweight six-spoke alloy wheels shod with Yokohama Advan Neova tyres. Furthermore, a specially-modified wiring harness will make retrofitting an electrics kill switch and a fire extinguisher system relatively easy.
Power comes from a supercharged 1.8 litre engine developing 217 bhp (162 kW / 220 PS). Combined with an unladen weight of just 932 kg (2,054 lbs), that output delivers a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of 4.2 seconds.
The Elise S Cup won’t be cheap, though. In the UK, it’s going to be priced at around £43,500 excluding on-the-road costs.
