The design is inspired by brand's most popular and beautiful models and features some sporty appearance, blended with brand's well-known elegant lines and curves. Sweet. There are also four colors to choose from and there are also some optional carbon-fiber components to be installed.

Unlike the exterior, the interior appearance is geared with numerous carbon-fiber components as part of the standard equipment. There are carbon-fiber seats, covered with dark gray leather, contrast stitching and numerous more hand-crafted components.

And what about the drivetrain system?

Along with the powerful engine, the special Elise has some more stuff to show: it comes with a six-speed manual gearbox and Electronic Differential Lock system for better traction and faster exit speeds when cornering.
