Don’t want a fancy impractical sports car or can’t afford one?? Well, you could have all that performance car that could suit your demands. Lotus Elise Cup 250 is here and is officially the fastest Lotus ever.
It’s got a supercharged 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine producing 243 bhp with a 3.9-second 0-100-kmph time and a 250-kmph top speed. The replacement for the Cup 220, the Lotus Elise Cup 250 will have a limited run of only 200 units per year. Elise Cup 250 has lost some significant amount of weight. Forged alloys save 1.5kg, carbon fibre backed seats another 6kg, and a lithium-ion battery reduces weight by another 10kg, making it a total 21kg weight loss with the Aero pack.
The Elise Cup 250 comes standard as a roadster and optional as hard top as is air conditioning and cruise control for which you pay extra quids. You get Alcantara seats in red or black, with leather as an optional upgrade while Bluetooth connectivity is standard and get a choice to choose from ten shades of colour.

Yes, it is capable of amazing things on a track, but it also retains its road manners and is perfectly composed for day-to-day driving. No rival offers this level of performance and accessibility.’
