The Elise SC combines our award-winning, iconic roadster with an advanced supercharged engine resulting in the pinnacle of the Elise range.
Supercharged engines have always been recognised for their effortless performance, and the heart of the Elise SC is no exception. The instant response and relentless acceleration provide supercar levels of performance, whilst the aluminium chassis ensures extraordinary agility.
A snarling 1.8 VVTL-i engine coupled with the characteristic whine of the supercharger ensure an exotic and melodic soundtrack. Aerodynamic improvements include a rear spoiler and unique alloy wheels compliment the dynamic design.
Power, design and innovation combine to make this the ultimate Elise.
