The Top Gear video that most of have seen shows the 111s (non-LSS) pull a 1.35 lap.
This video:

Shows the S2000 at 1.37.4, the Z4 1.37.3, and the Boxster 1.37.0.
The Elise was a full 2 seconds faster, which is a pretty big margin, particularly on such a short track. Granted different days, but same driver, same track.
With an extra 30+ hp of the Fed Elise, I reckon the gap will widen. And, in the dry, widen considerably, in line with the 5 second laptime differentials we've seen in publications.
Cheers.
