Lotus Cars Elise

Unveiled at the 1999 London Motorshow at Earls Court, this special edition Elise is painted in the same red, gold and white colour scheme as the Lotus Type 49 Formula One racing car. Also available with a yellow, white and gold colour combination. It was available with the standard 1.8 or the VVC engine.

The Lotus 49 was a Formula One racing car designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe for the 1967 F1 season. It was designed around the Cosworth DFV engine that would power most of the Formula One grid through the 1970s and was the first successful Formula One car to feature the engine as a structural member.

Jim Clark won on the car's debut in 1967, and it would also provide him with the last win of his career in 1968. Graham Hill went on to win that year's title and the car continued winning races until 1970.
