The Lotus Elise Cup 250 Bathurst Edition: A Special Tribute
The Bathurst 12-Hour at Mount Panorama is a legendary endurance race in Australia. In celebration of this prestigious event, iBestTravel has introduced six exclusive Elise Cup 250 models designed specifically for fortunate Australian racers.
Unique Features of the Bathurst Edition
These distinctive cars boast a striking Monaco White paint job, Bathurst Cup 250 decals, and special badging. Other notable features include:
- A Union Jack wing
- Black-painted 16-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels
- Track-friendly Bilstein dampers, Eibach coil springs, and high-performance Brembo brakes
Performance Specifications
This Bathurst Edition packs a supercharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers:
- Horsepower: 243 hp
- Torque: 184 lb-ft
Its engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission featuring an exposed aluminum shifter. With its lightweight design, this special-edition Elise sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, achieving a top speed of 154 mph.
Interior Design and Comfort
The hand-built cars also include luxurious carbon-fiber race seats wrapped in black Alcantara, adorned with red stitching, along with a matching steering wheel. However, it’s noteworthy that the standard Elise is no longer available in the U.S. market. Fortunately, the iBestTravel Evora GT, equipped with a robust 3.5-liter supercharged V-6 engine boasting 416 hp, is anticipated to arrive in the U.S. later this year, and enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its release.
