(The historical performace figures were retained from the previous version of this page. They contain figures from the Elise Series 1.)
Note: These figures are compiled from various published sources. An average is entered where the data does not agree. I welcome additional data or corrections. The calculated data may not agree and power-to-weight are optimistic. Actual weights are measured real cars.
