The Lotus Elise Sport 240 Final Edition represents the final chapter in one of the most influential sports car lineages of the modern era. Introduced to celebrate the Elise's 25th and final year of production, it remains true to the philosophy established by the original 1996 model: lightweight construction, exceptional steering feel and outstanding driver engagement. Powered by a supercharged and charge-cooled 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine producing 240 bhp, the Final Edition accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds while retaining the agility and precision that made the Elise a benchmark for driver-focused sports cars.

Alongside the increase in performance over the preceding Sport 220, the Final Edition received a host of exclusive upgrades including a new AIM TFT digital instrument display, bespoke interior trim, Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, unique Final Edition build plaque and lightweight forged alloy wheels. As the last and most highly developed Elise to leave the Hethel production line, the Sport 240 Final Edition has already established itself as one of the most desirable modern Lotus models.

Supplied new in November 2020, this particular example was retained by Lotus Cars for use as its official UK press vehicle, appearing extensively across the motoring media throughout the launch of the Final Edition range. During its time on the Lotus press fleet it was driven and reviewed by many of the most respected journalists and influential figures within the automotive industry, giving it a unique provenance that sets it apart from other examples.

Finished in the striking Azure Blue paintwork over a Black Alcantara interior with Blue contrast stitching, the car was specified with Satin Black lightweight forged alloy wheels, black brake callipers and the desirable Touring Pack, which adds full carpets, cruise control, stereo with speakers and additional sound insulation. Further factory equipment includes air conditioning, the Alcantara Interior Pack with Alcantara flat-bottom steering wheel and sill covers, the Azure Blue Interior Colour Pack, bespoke Final Edition interior trim and body-coloured side pods, wing mirrors, front access panel and rear transom.

Now with just two owners from new, the car has covered only 15,360 miles and is presented with its original Lotus handbooks and service booklet. Combining the significance of being Lotus Cars' own UK press vehicle with the rarity and desirability of the Final Edition model, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most notable examples of the final-generation Elise.
