Lotus Elise 220 Cup arrives at $120K - Motoring
That makes the most serious Elise road car $45,000 more expensive than the base Elise roadster and $35,000 pricier than the latest Elise S Club Racer. However, Lotus says the 220 Cup is developed from the track-only Elise S Cup R racer, rather than the road-going Elise, adding just 19kg of weight to top out at only 924kg. With power coming from a 162kW/250Nm Eaton-supercharged 1. 8-litre... In addition, Lotus claims the car's new aero package, which produces an additional 66kg of downforce at 160km/h and 125kg at its 225km/h top speed, enables the Elise 220 Cup to lap its UK test track three seconds faster than the Elise S. Along... “The 220 Cup is derived from the racing car, not a development of the road car," says Lotus Australia and New Zealand COO, Glen Sealey. "This development track means the Lotus engineers took a racing car and made it road-legal, not taking a road car to make it ‘like a racing car’. Source: www.motoring.com.au
