Lotus Elise Club Racer for Frankfurt

The special edition Lotus Elise Club Racer in Old English White

The Elise Club Racer is based on the entry level Elise, which endows it with Toyota’s 1.8 litre engine and five-speed ‘box, delivering 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 127 mph, and manages to average 37.2 mpg.

Lotus has utilised its historic colours to pretty-up the Club Racer, so you get a choice of Elite Yellow, Carbon Grey, Sky Blue and Old English White for tha paint job – all 1960s Lotus colours. The exterior body colour is carried over to the interior, where the transmission tunnel colour mirrors the exterior together with silver and black highlights.

The interior gets a splash of ‘CR’ logos, together with microfibre cushioning on the seats, black leather steering wheel and anthracite-coloured anodised aluminium flooring in the footwells. The Elise Club Racer also gets a set of six-spoke alloys in anodised anthracite to tie in with the interior.

The Elise Club Racer will be on show at the Frankfurt Motor Show and be on sale in the UK at £26,662 from 15th September.
