With its upgraded engine pumping out 210 brake horsepower, wider tracks, and a sporty rear wing, this car means serious business. And let's not forget about the meticulously restored chassis and engine enhancements that make this Elise a true standout on the road.
Stephan do, the mastermind behind Analog Automotive, walks us through the painstaking process of restoring these iconic cars. From chassis modifications to engine upgrades, every detail is fine-tuned to perfection.

The wider tracks and improved components of the Super Sport give it a newfound confidence and grip, making it a joy to drive while still maintaining that classic Elise feel.
