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.

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.
