This weekend Lotus, in association with Classic Team Lotus, will unveil a special edition in the memory of this legendary driver Jim Clark, called the Lotus Clark Type 25 Elise SC. To keep this one as exclusive as possible there will be only 25 pieces built and for each Type 25 Elise sold, a donation will be made to the Jim Clark Memorial fund. Power comes from a 1.8 liter non-intorcooled, supercharged engine producing 220 bhp and is capable of a 0 – 62 mph (100 kmh) time of just 4.6 seconds.
Those who are so lucky to get one can pick up their piece at dealers in UK and Northern Ireland only for just under £ 37,000 (€ 46,900 – $ 72,160).
Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus Plc comments
It is fitting that the latest version of our award winning Elise, the Clark Type 25 Elise SC, should celebrate the life of Jim Clark.

Is this a joke? Only 25 will be built? Lotus releases a special edition every month!
My standard MKII is getting more exclusive than the special editons… ;-)
