This tiny two seat guided missile is only 860 KG which allows it to go from 0-100 KPH in about six seconds and tops out at a blistering 240 KPH. Not bad for a little 1.8L 4 cylinder engine, but speed is not the only thing to turn heads with it’s slick looks and low profile. 

In 1962 Lotus fronted up to the Dutch Grand Prix with the worlds first monocoque race car. Jim Clark campaigned the little Lotus for the rest of the 1962 F1 seas to miss out on the championship by one point. 1963 saw Lotus and Jim Clark win both the Drivers World Championship and Constructors World Championship with maximum points. The Type 25 Elise commemorates the achievements of Jim Clark and the Lotus team from those glory days of racing. With its Lotus Racing Green pain and the two metallic yellow stripes the Type 25 Elise really looks like a car that Jim Clark would drive.
