Description[]
The Lotus Motor Sport Elise is a special race-prepared version of the Lotus Elise, intended for competition usage. Power is supplied by a 1.8L Rover K1800 inline-4 producing 137 BHP with a specially tuned exhaust mated to a close-ratio 5-speed manual. Many features are absent on the Motor Sport Elise in an attempt to save weight & increase responsiveness. 65 are believed to have been produced.
The casting was given a major retool in 2021. The casting now features a post-post design as opposed to a tab-post design, a metal wing cast into the body, different contouring & a much lower front bumper & ride height.
