I'm tempted... But some serious an maths have to be done to jump from my 2013 Elise S... Wondering how much to retro fit the aero kit?
Re: Elise S cup review
Sounds very impressive indeed.
Is the aero kit available to buy separately yet Kevin?

Im real keen on the aerokit as most of the elise cup seems to be based on weight and aerodynamics.C7Steve wrote:Sounds very impressive indeed.![]()

I asked MMC this week if the kit is ready and the answer was no [DISAPPOINTED FACE]
But as ive said before , there is a near identical kit that i understand some of the elise race cars use being the APR kit.
Real keen to see an elise s cup in the flesh though!

Looks nice.
Strange to see an Elise ad where there are no pics of it roofless tho.

So does that make it an Exige-lite?alicrozier wrote:Yeah, no soft top with the aero...renmure wrote:Looks nice.

I do like the styling tho, but if it is a bit compromised by needing a roof then it's not very Elise-ish anymore?

Re: Elise S cup review
I look at it as a 4 cylinder exige
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Re: Elise S cup review
yes, that's closest.....Exige is now a very different car, a hardcore Elise at the top of the range makes sense
Some customers don't want to run a V6 on track - but their 4 cylinder Exiges are getting older (newest is 2011 RGB)
So this with 3 year warranty, best aero we've had, more torque than 240PP Exige (250nM vs 230nM), and it looks like that...fills the gap in pricing (sub £45k otr) left when 4 cyl Exige departed
I may be biased

Seems the top gear review is a little inaccurate... Quoting 237bhp and 66kg downforce at 60mph 

Re: Elise S cup review
Will it be March before we see any demos in the showroom?
