Description

In August 1993, Lotus Cars was acquired by Bugatti Automobili SpA, led by Romano Artioli. The Italian entrepreneur's goal was to restore the Lotus brand to a prestigious position in the production of sports cars, following in the footsteps and original philosophy of Colin Chapman, who had made Lotus glorious.Thus was born the idea of ​​developing a lightweight and minimalist car, leveraging aeronautical technology. A true sports car without compromises.The lightness and essentiality of the Elise fully reflect the concept of a sports car according to Colin Chapman's motto "Less is more", with an aluminum-silicon frame weighing 68 kg, non-power-assisted brakes and steering, and a driving position just inches from the ground in an aluminum tub to ensure the driver a "go-kart feeling" experience.No airbags, minimal seat padding—on the Elise, all the superfluous has been eliminated to make the car as light as possible for an unforgettable driving experience. The Elise creates a connection with the driver that even much more prestigious cars cannot match.The essence of this machine is highlighted by its essentiality and absolute rigor towards a project unique in the world. A philosophy fully realized in a car that disrupts the classic evaluation criteria but constitutes a benchmark for those who focus solely on the pure pleasure of driving.The Elise has created a separate segment of cars known as "light cars," of which Lotus has always been the reference point.Unfortunately, Lotus recently announced the discontinuation of ELISE production, which will be replaced by models that are still focused on performance, but are more sophisticated and less pure and essential.However, this shift by Lotus has not been appreciated by many purists, making the Elise immediately a sought-after collectible car. A true instant Classic.Our Lotus Elise- Custom-made specimen by "PB Racing"- Based on Elise S 20th anniversary (220 hp)- The car has been built to the same specifications as the cars that race in the "Lotus Cup."

These cars are becoming increasingly rare and now impossible to replicate, as safety regulations become more restrictive.
