Elise SC 220
According to Lotus, the Elise SC 220 was built with an Elise with Exige-S power. A supercharger is added to the Elise’s 1.8-liter four-pot, just like the Exige S. However, the Elise does not have a roof snorkel, so Lotus developed an Eaton-style blower and doesn’t use an intercooler on the Elise SC. Elise SC weight 2050 pound and yeild 220 horsepower and 153 pound-feet of torque which can almost compete the Exige-S that produces 220 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque.
Lotus claims that Elise SC can hit 60 mph in 4.6 and cost $54,500.
Elise California
In 2007 Los Angeles auto show, Lotus also load with an collectible Elise California. This model is cost $51,770 which meant to showcase Lotus’s aptitude for customization. Mods that were made in the name of the Golden State include vintage-Ferrari-like silver egg-crate grillwork, body-color side air inlets, upgraded wheels, a light two-tone-leather interior, a removable hard top, an Alpine sound system, and a gargantuan rear spoiler that covers the entire rear end.
According to Lotus, you do not have to live in California to order one for your garage; however, you might want to do it quickly if you want one, since only 25 Ardent Red and 25 Saffron Yellow examples will be built.
