Ngemva kokubonisa umqondo kulo nyaka we-Lotus Elise entsha ka-2015, i-Lotus ikhansele noma yiziphi izinhlobo ezintsha, nokho, iyaqhubeka nokubheja ekuqiniseni uhla ekuyo ngezinguqulo ze-Lotus Elise Club Racer futhi manje iza ne-Lotus Elise S Cup. , efuna ukubekela inselele imithetho ye-physics kuthrekhi.
Ngemuva kokuthi i-Lotus Elise S Cup R ibonise imiphumela emihle kakhulu emqhudelwaneni, i-Lotus inikeza abathengi inguqulo ye-spartan eyengeziwe. Ngemuva kosuku oluphuphile lwethrekhi, singayishayela siye ekhaya ngomoya ophansi, noma mhlawumbe akunjalo, njengoba i-Lotus Elise S Cup iwumshini we-darn ongadlala ngawo futhi uhlole umkhawulo womshayeli ngaso sonke isikhathi.
I-aerodynamics yale Lotus Elise S Cup icolisekile kangangokuthi ama-aerodynamic appendages (uphahla, i-diffuser yangemuva, ama-spoiler angaphambili nephiko elingemuva) akwazi ukukhiqiza u-66kg we-downforce ngo-160km/h, asekelwa ngaphezu kuka-200km/h. Lotus Elise S Cup's I-aerodynamics ifinyelela ku-125kg ecacile. Lawa manani abaluleke kangangokuthi i-Lotus Elise S Cup ikwazi ukushesha emizuzwaneni emi-3, uma iqhathaniswa nomfowabo u-Elise S, ethangeni lethrekhi yokuhlola ye-Lotus.
Ukuheha abathengi ukuthi bajahe i-Lotus Elise S Cup njalo, i-Lotus inikeze le modeli “ngokutotoswa”: ikheji yokuncintisana egunyazwe yi-FIA, ukufakwa kukagesi osekulungele ukusetshenziswa ukuze kwethulwe isilawuli esinqunyiwe kanye isistimu yokucisha eyenza le ndebe ye-Lotus Elise S ibe inguqulo yethrekhi eyedlulele kakhulu eyake yakhiwa.
Mayelana nemishini, i-Lotus Elise S Cup iyaqhubeka nokusinikeza ibhulokhi enhle kakhulu ye-Toyota 2ZZ-GE, ngamanye amazwi, amalitha angu-1.8 we-4-cylinder eshajwe kakhulu yi-Eaton volumetric compressor ayaqhubeka nokuletha amandla afanayo angu-220 amahhashi. Ukusebenza kuyashintsha uma kune-aerodynamic package entsha, iLotus Elise S Cup ikwazi ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-4.2 futhi ifinyelele ku-225km/h.

Uma iqhathaniswa nomfowabo uLotus Elise S, iLotus Elise S Cup ishesha ngo-0.4s isuka ku-0 iye ku-100km/h, kodwa ngenxa yokwesekwa okuphezulu kwe-aerodynamic ilahlekelwa yijubane elingu-9km/h. Hhayi ukuba umgijimi, i-Lotus Elise S Cup iyingcweti ye-ninja ye-agility.
Ingxenye embi kakhulu yephupho lokuba nemoto eyindawo yokuzijabulisa yama-petrolheads ifika emalini yayo yokugcina. E-Portugal kufanele ibe ngaphezudlwana kwama-E56,415 acelwe uzakwabo uLotus Elise S.
