Lotus has announced it will unveil its new Special Edition Lotus Elise Club Racer at this month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the 134 horsepower Elise S, the Club Racer will feature unique color options, upgraded interior and lightweight components to ensure world class performance.

Paying tribute to the Lotus models of the 1960s, the Elise Club Racer will be available in Elite Yellow, Carbon Grey, Sky Blue and Old English White. The Club Racer’s exterior color will also be carried into the car’s interior, covering the car’s transmission tunnel.

The Club Racer’s interior will also feature lightweight microfiber seat covers, designed to be supportive and grippy no matter how much weight is applied to them. Other unique Club Racer design cues include an anthracite anodized gear knob and handbrake sleeve, Club Racer logos and anodized aluminum flooring.

A set of lightweight, six-spoke wheels – shod in Yokohama AD07 rubber – completes the Elise Club Racer package.

The Elise Club Race will hit the European market with a price of about 34,500 euros, but there are no current plans to bring the car to the U.S.
