Did 2005 Lotus Elise have a Track Pack option?

I cannot find the answer to this question. I know the 2005 Lotus Elise had a Sport Pack option, but was the Track Pack option ever offered on the Elise? Or was it just the 2006 Exige? If it was offered on the Elise, was the first year 2006? Same question applies to Traction Control and Limited Slip Differential. Thanks for the help......

i think the dealer could install the track pack to cars they had in inventory.or at a later date after the sale of the car.

The track option was introduced in '06 to both Elise and Exige, same goes for the traction control and lsd.

I'm thinking there might have been a few very late 05's with LSD...I might be wrong.

You are correct, as usual.

And that was the point. Lotus offered the LSD option as a service bulletin to the dealers in 2005

And the last 50 or so '05 Elises made were equipped with the LSD and TC.

Actually, per Lotus, it was less than a handful.

There was no Track Pack option for Elises in either 2005 or 2006. It was an option on the Exige only in 2006.
