Lotus Clark Type 25 Elise SC (2008): first official pictures

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 05 June 2008 11:41 Lotus has unveiled its first special edition supercharged Elise. Dubbed Clark Type 25 Elise SC, the new model commemorates legendary F1 driver Jim Clark, who died 40 years ago at Hockenheim. Inspiration comes from the Type 25 F1 car Jim Clark won the 1963 world championship in, so the SC is British racing green with a central yellow stripe, plus black and silver Lotus Sport wheels.

Outside, changes are most noticeable at the rear where the styling theme has been softened to reflect the car's renewed family-focus.
