Elise S Elise SC Exige S Evora
 
 

The Elise S is a sublime sports car, engineered for the experience.

Like every Elise, the Elise S uses the world-renowned bonded aluminium chassis to provide a driving experience akin to no other sports car. An experience where there is pure communication between man and machine, where you instinctively respond to every tingle and every pulse.

A mid-mounted 1.8 litre engine combined with a 5-speed gearbox sends 134bhp through the rear wheels, providing optimum balance and driver enjoyment. It is this outstanding balance and purity which distinguishes the Elise S.

It encourages you to drive and responds to your every wish.
