Not an Elise but a BMW M3 CSL (supposedly supercharged as well):

I'm not a fan of how the SMG sounds when it shifts...sound rather harsh on the drivetrain. I was also thinking why they don't offer clutch by wire in addition to throttle by wire. So you could have a full SMG paddle type shifting as well as a third pedal for when you want to finesse the shifting. It would work, no?
