supercharged, 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine, the Elise\u00a0Cup 250 boasts 243 hp. However, in order to make the most of its power, it\u2019s shed 21kg compared to its predecessor, to weight just 931 kg. Customers wanting to cut weight still further, and so boost\u00a0performance, can select the optional Carbon Aero Pack to reduce the vehicle\u2019s mass to 921 kg.<\/p>\n<p>The hand-built sports car has long been regarded as a benchmark within the industry, providing a\u00a0level of precision and driver involvement that rivals cannot match. Capable of lapping the company\u2019s test track in 1 minute 34 seconds, the changes and engineering adaptions to the Elise\u00a0Cup 250 have taken an impressive four seconds off the previous Elise Cup 220\u2019s best time.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a
