2020 LOTUS ELISE SPORT 220

This 2021 Lotus Elise Sport 220 is an as-new example of the lauded lightweight sports car, presented in a likely unique specification. It is powered by a Toyota-sourced supercharged 1.8-litre, four-cylinder engine, which produces 217bhp and drives the rear wheels via an engaging six-speed manual transmission. The odometer displays just 374 miles, and it remains fully covered by the original factory warranty.

Famed for its agile handling, lightweight construction and the overall purity of its design, the Lotus Elise has rightly become an automotive icon since its initial launch in 1996. Having undergone various updates over the years, this well-loved model is now being phased out to make way for a new range of sports cars.

First registered in February 2021, this example is believed to be one of the last factory-ordered Sport 220s produced, prior to the model’s replacement with the 240 Final Edition. With its special order Yellow Tartan interior and ‘half’ Black Pack exterior treatment, the vendor believes it is likely a completely unique example of the Elise.

The vibrant yellow paintwork is accented by a matt black rear panel and door mirrors, while the roll hoop and front access panel were specified to remain in the body colour – unlike most cars with the ‘Black Pack’. It is also equipped with the Touring Pack, which includes various creature comforts such as cruise control and air-conditioning.

As you might expect given that this Elise is only two months old, its bodywork remains in excellent, unmarked condition. The vibrant yellow paint is also in superb order, and the trim, light lenses and glass are all as-new. It rides on a set of 16-inch front and 17-inch rear lightweight forged alloy wheels, which are finished in matt black and are pristine.

On entering the cabin, your attention is immediately drawn to the lightweight bucket seats, and the Yellow Tartan scheme continues onto the door cards, while the dashboard is trimmed in black leather. There is yellow contrast stitching throughout. Having been driven sparingly since its recent registration, the interior is in superb condition, with the only flaw noted being a small mark on the driver’s seat belt. Featuring the factory-fitted Touring Pack, this Elise is equipped with a Sony stereo, additional sound insulation, full carpeting throughout, cruise control and air-conditioning. All of the electrical items work without fault, and there are no warning lights displayed on the dashboard.

As it has covered fewer than 375 miles from new, this Lotus has not yet required its initial 1,000-mile running-in service, and its Yokohama Advan Sport V105 tyres are almost entirely unworn. The car will be accompanied by its full original book pack, including the owner’s handbook, maintenance record book and vehicle warranty book.

Named as Evo magazine’s Sports Car of The Year in 2017 and seen by many as the sweet spot in the Elise range, the Sport 220 provides an optimal balance of power and grip, making the most of its sublime chassis and well-tuned suspension system.

While the Elise has always been a tempting prospect for any driving enthusiast, it has become all the more sought-after now that the model is being phased out. Effectively brand-new and with only 374 miles on its odometer, this eye-catching Lotus Elise Sport 220 is sure to thrill its next owner at every turn, and represents the opportunity to acquire an almost factory-fresh example of the discontinued model at less than list price.
