In this Hagerty video, we delve into the world of the Lotus Elise Super Sport, a machine that's like a mix of a McLaren F1 and a Lotus Elise - a true automotive lovechild. With its upgraded engine pumping out 210 brake horsepower, wider tracks, and a sporty rear wing, this car means serious business. And let's not forget about the meticulously restored chassis and engine enhancements that make this Elise a true standout on the road.
Stephan do, the mastermind behind Analog Automotive, walks us through the painstaking process of restoring these iconic cars. From chassis modifications to engine upgrades, every detail is fine-tuned to perfection. The K series engine gets a boost for reliability and performance, complete with a stainless steel exhaust that adds a touch of flair to the car's sound.

Suspension upgrades are key for older Elises, ensuring top-notch handling and safety on the road. The wider tracks and improved components of the Super Sport give it a newfound confidence and grip, making it a joy to drive while still maintaining that classic Elise feel.
