Description
Released in 2015 the S CUP was a road-going version of the CUP R. Tweaked and tuned, the S CUP produced 217BHP from the supercharged four-cylinder engine and travels from 0-60MPH in just 4. 2 seconds. Just 28 CUPS were supplied to the UK and this car is number 14.
This beautiful Elise has just three owners from new, covering just 21, 000 miles. The team at Hilton & Moss have handled every previous sale and are now delighted to sell the car once again. This Lotus has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to produce the ultimate Elise CUP model. This particular car is the only S CUP worldwide painted in the very special Laser Blue metallic. Harking back to the early Exige S1, the Laser Blue paintwork looks incredible and presents in fantastic condition. The front nose cone of the car has had paint protection film applied protecting the car from stone chips. This particular car is also fitted with the incredibly desirable ‘Big Aero’ kit which was only available for a short period with later CUP models not benefiting from this desirable feature. The CUP is also optioned with black forged lightweight wheels and air-conditioning.
This CUP has been upgraded with a no-expense spared attitude resulting in a car that drives and handles better than when it left the factory. The car has had a variety of handling and performance modifications carried out to enhance the driving experience further. A brand new Nitron-R1 suspension kit has been fitted providing the ultimate ride. At the same time the spherical bearing bushes and spitfire toe links were fitted as a further upgrade.
A full 2Tubular exhaust system including sports CAT was also fitted to the car alongside a TRD airbox. The car makes a fantastic tone from the exhaust without being overly loud or obnoxious. A set of Schroth harnesses were also fitted to the car for further safety but the original seat belts have been retained.
Most noticeably this Elise was fitted with the Komotec 265BHP engine upgrade kit. Komotec is one of the most renowned Lotus tuners and is known for providing plenty of power and torque whilst maintaining driveability and usability.
The car has a great service and MOT history and has been fully inspected by our expert in-house technicians. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Laser Blue S CUP in great condition.
Available now for viewing and demonstration at our Bishop’s Stortford showroom.
