A TIMELESS CLASSIC
Transformed by HPE Special Vehicles
The Elise Platform is approaching its 30th birthday and its ethos of ‘performance via lightweight construction’ is as true today as it was in 1996. HPE has transformed every aspect of the original Elise, maximising its performance and minimising its weight to bring the platform bang up to date and challenge any supercar.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to build your ultimate Lotus
Elise or Exige – whether it’s for the road, the track or your perfect blend of both. Our core principles that make this possible include:
Do it right – every detail considered. Use the very best materials and components available. Embrace the latest technology. Improve reliability and quality. Simplify and reduce weight.
THE ULTIMATE ELISE
HPE SV’s highly developed version of the Lotus Elise S1is a testament to the timeless appeal of this iconic sports car. By carefully incorporating modern technology with the car’s original design philosophy, HPE SV has created a vehicle that honours the past while embracing the future. We have created something truly unique, a ground-up restoration packed with the latest technology and highest quality components to deliver genuine supercar performance and an intoxicatingly intense driving experience.

As a track day enthusiast, I started this project to create the best car I could design, develop and build – while retaining the parts I loved about my S1 Elise: namely the lightweight, responsive and involving experience – all while turning everything up to 11.
