Elise R

Adrenalin-fuelled excitement is the hallmark of the Elise R.

Its lightweight, agile chassis combined with a powerful, responsive engine mark out the Elise R as a thoroughbred.

The engine is the heart and soul of the car – four cylinders providing 189bhp at a dizzy 7,800rpm. The advanced design uses variable valve timing and lift (VVTL-i) to provide an extraordinarily high power output without sacrificing economy. A close ratio 6-speed gearbox compliments the engine’s character to ensure lightning responses and acceleration from 0 to 60mph in just 5.1 seconds.

Distinctive alloy wheels compliment the iconic design to provide a purposeful appearance. The only question left to answer is which heart will be beating fastest; the Elise R or yours.
