Lotus Elise S Club Racer 2015 Review - Motoring

Lotus Elise S Club Racer. A daily driver that also carves up the hotmix at a track day with the best of them, the $84,990 Lotus Elise S Club Racer is the purest form of track-focused cars that Lotus offers here. In the automotive industry, if you're still selling a car with a 20 year-old structure, you'd soon want to pension it off or find a new core business, perhaps running an aged-care facility. Here we are belting into the second-half of 2015 and the Lotus Elise relies on a basic structure and hard points that were designed in the 1990s. The Australian-spec Elise S Club Racer scores standard equipment that the UK car doesn't — namely,... The Comfort Pack adds a full convertible roof, a digital audio system with four speakers, central locking, the sound insulation from the standard Elise S, a light weight aluminium passenger foot rest and front mud flaps. While the Elise still has supercar looks after all these years (and has had a few cosmetic refreshes), the test car was painted in a very bright hue called chrome orange. I'm certain that this colour makes for a very practical safety colour, and surely everyone knew that the "LITEW8" personalised plates referred to the car, not its driver's professional acumen.
