The Lotus Elise Cup 250 is an iconic sports car, launched in 1996 by Lotus Cars. With an extruded aluminum frame and a fibreglass body, it embodies the brand's philosophy of lightness. Weighing only 725 kg at launch, it achieved impressive performances thanks to its low weight, despite its modest power.

The Cup 250 version, unveiled later, is a more track-oriented version. With its 250-horsepower 1.8-liter supercharged Toyota engine, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Its top speed reaches 248 km/h, with optimized aerodynamics producing 155 kg of downforce at high speed.

The Lotus Elise was born out of a desire for simplicity and purity in automotive design. It owes its name to Elisa Artioli, granddaughter of the then president of Lotus, Romano Artioli. With production ending in 2021, the Lotus Elise remains a symbol of British engineering, having influenced models like the Exige and Evora, while also marking the end of an era of lightweight, performance-oriented sports cars.
