The Sport 190 was first announced in January 2002 and further information appear at the Geneva Motorshow in March 2002. And isn't a production car in the strictest sense but actually a 'trackday package' from Lotus Motorsport that can be added to a standard S2 Elise. Whichever way you look at it though, it is definitely a phenomenal track tool.

Power is up by 70bhp on the standard Elise (a 60% increase!), enough to give the lightweight 190 supercar worrying acceleration. Racing modifications include AP racing brakes and pads, adjustable dampers and stiffer springs for ultimate track day grip - further enhance by the optional Exige wheels and tyres.
