Dream Spec Lotus Elise Sport 220 in Isotope Green

A bit of fun whilst we're in Coronavirus lockdown. I'm going to use the new Lotus configurator (go to https://www.lotuscars.com) to create my dream spec Lotus Elise Sport 220. Disclaimer: I'm absolutely not planning to change my Lotus at this time.

This is my dream spec Lotus Elise Sport 220:

Exterior: Paint: Isotope Green

Exterior: Carbon Fibre

Nothing selected here, Carbon Fibre is nice but expensive, the weight saving benefit does not really justify the cost. If you really like the look of it and aren't concerned by the expense, go for it. Most importantly for my spec - I want to select the 'Black Pack' in the configurator, so Carbon Fibre selections are not allowed.

Exterior: Black Pack

Exterior: Roof: Black Pack Hardtop

Hardtop is included with the Black Pack. These cars are even more brilliant with the roof off, so I'd be using the softtop (comes as standard with the Elise) and taking it off at every opportunity.

Note: Rule of spec-ing a Lotus Elise - it must look good with the black soft top on!

Wheels: Lightweight Black Cast Alloy Wheels

Brake Calipers: Red Brake Calipers

Brake Disks: Cross Drilled and Ventilated Brake Discs (Standard)

Interior: Leather Pack - Tan Leather

Carpets: Black Floor Mats

Interior Colour Pack: Arctic Silver

Sills: Black Leatherette (Standard)

Stitch Colour: Tan (No option)

IP: Black Leather (No option)

IP Console: Single DIN Stereo Featuring Bluetooth and DAB

Slightly tempted to go for 'Radio Blanking Plate with No Speakers Fitted'. In all my Lotus cars (except the Evora), I rarely listen to the stereo. Perhaps I've selected this thinking of future resale... (a dream car should be a car you never sell, unless you're in dire straits.)

Climate Control: Air Conditioning

Steering Wheel: Black Leather Trimmed Steering Wheel (Standard)

Seats: Manual Adjust (Fore and Aft) Sports Seat (Standard)

Tempted by the 'Carbon Fibre Sports Seats' but this Elise is going to be more of a tourer spec (Cup car for track). Again, the performance gain from lighter seats doesn't really justify the cost.

Battery: Standard 12V Battery (Standard)

Cruise Control: Cruise Control (Standard)

Hardly ever used the Cruise Control in my Elise/Exiges, but not an expensive option. Again, perhaps nice for future resale...

Dampers: Bilstein Tour Dampers

This is a tourer spec (Cup car for track).

Config code: 0ct1MoQH
