Wheels Asia|September 2016

Lotus, the developers of hardcore, lightweight race machines have developed their most raw and brawniest Elise till date.

Not for the Fainthearted

Eligible for many race series around the world, this sensational new Elise has been developed to meet the high demands of the track, with a raft of performance-orientated features as standard. The latest race car from Lotus, the new Elise Race 250 distils the famous company’s engineering expertise into one hardcore, track-orientated package. Packing a supercharged, 1.8-litre inline four engine with a 6 speed manual gearbox, the Elise Race 250 boasts 243hp at 7200rpm and an impressive 250Nm of torque between 3500rpm and 5500rpm.

Delivering a level of ability you’d expect from one of the world’s most famous racing marques, every aspect of the Lotus Elise Race 250 has been optimised to help slash lap times. This covers track-oriented features including Nitron adjustable dampers, uprated brake pads, FIA approved carbon fibre race seat with six-point racing harness, a removable steering wheel and a polycarbonate rear windscreen.
