“MINI FERARRI CHALLENGE CAR”
k20 Lotus Elise
This Lotus Elise was purpose-built as a training platform for a customer preparing to step into a faster “pro” Ferrari Challenge car. Outfitted with Bosch ABS, MoTeC traction control, and a closed-loop paddle shift system, it delivers an intense, high-tech driving experience.
Despite running without aero, the car reached over 160 mph at Circuit of the Americas and clocked a 2:20 lap time on its installation lap—proof that this “trainer” is anything but tame.
