I've not seen anything mentioned here about this car.

Looks like it's supercharged but doesn't have the weird little wing that the new SC Elise have. I also like the new gauge cluster.

Lotus, in association with Classic Team Lotus, has a Clark Type 25 Elise SC coming out in tribute to Jim Clark's achievements. Only 25 will be built however; this will be limited to the U.K. only and with a donation for each car sold going to the Jim Clark memorial fund. 25 being the type number of his 1963 Lotus F1 car and his number of F1 wins has been authorized by the Clark Family and coincides with the 40th Anniversary of Jim Clark's death at Hockenheim in 1968.

It's not SC, it's NA. The SC version of the Elise is the Elise SC, the Elise S is naturally aspirated. Confusing yes. In fact, despite what that page said, I think this is the 1zz engine model with 134bhp. Even the base model is not available in the US. Which might have contributed to why there's no special version here either.

More details on the "Elise S" here: Elise S @ grouplotus
