Handcrafted in England, the limited-production Elise has been called one of the world’s best sports cars -- “a singularly enjoyable driving experience” that sets new standards for exclusivity and agility. No-nonsense and highly responsive, the Elise is easy to drive yet capable of exceptional performance: 150 mph top speed and 0 – 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Fifty years experience in racing design and a passion for driving by Lotus engineers has resulted in one of the most desirable exotic cars on the market -- and it’s now available exclusively at the Waikiki Parc Hotel.
