Lotus launches Elise special edition





Club Racer special edition
Cosmetic tweaks
On sale September 15


The Lotus Evora will hog the limelight at the brand's Frankfurt motor show this month, but a new Elise special edition will also be vying for attention.

Bespoke looks
The Elise Club Racer has a number of visual upgrades over the Elise S model it's based on. These include:

• Four bespoke paintwork options: elite yellow, carbon grey, sky blue and old English white
• Body-coloured interior trim with silver and black highlights
• 'Anodised' gearknob and handbrake sleeve
• CR logo on the seat headrest and anodised aluminium flooring
• Small-diameter steering wheel with on-centre marker
• Lightweight six-spoke alloy wheels

Spec and prices
The Elise Club Racer uses the same 1.8-litre engine as the Elise S, but has a 0-60mph time of 5.7 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than the S.

Average fuel economy and CO2 emissions are unchanged, at 37.2mpg and 179g/km.

The Elise Club Racer goes on sale on September 15, at £25,712.
