Maybe they use a different paste for the Elise.

Curing at higher temperature speeds up the cure process which is desirable in a production environment. The minimum cure times for Araldite 2015 are:
50degF, 21 hours
59degF, 13 hours
77degF, 10 hours
104degF, 2 hours
159degF, 35 minutes
212degF, 7 minutes
The maximum temperature you cure at will be dictated by what the base material can tolerate and how big/what kind of oven you have.
Interestingly the product data sheet also lists lap shear strength knock downs for ambient temperature (higher temperature, lower strength), immersion in various substances (gasoline, oil, water, etc.), hummidity and heat aging.
Datasheet
The web site indicates that this adhesive Beige in colour (or it's packaging is
), isnt' the adhesive still orange/red in colour?
