The Elise Race 250 is the quickest Elise to ever lap the company's Hethel test track. With a lap time of 1 minute 33.5 seconds, it is half a second quicker than the already-hardcore Elise 220 Cup R. On another note, the reveal of the new Elise Race 250 coincides with the 50th anniversary of the founding of Lotus's factory in Hethel, Norfolk when its founder, Colin Chapman moved Lotus to the purpose-built factory back in 1966.

With stiff and lightweight extrusions glued by epoxy adhesive, the chassis is both immensely strong and torsionally rigid, and yet it tips the scale at a featherweight 68kgs. Other upgrades include Nitron one-way adjustable dampers and Eibach coaxial coil springs, adjustable front anti-roll bar, double wishbone suspension tuned to provide optimum body and roll control, uprated brake pads, AP Racing twin-piston front calipers and Brembo single-piston unit at the rear. [B] Exterior[/B] [IMG]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/../wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Photo-3-700x341.jpg[/IMG] The Elise Race 250 benefits more from weight saving bits like headlights that are replaced with lightweight composite blanking panels. The wheels are a set of ultra-lightweight alloys; 16-inch up front and 17-inch at the rear, wrapped in Yokohama A048 tyres.
