With the launch of the Elise S, the Elise 111r will become known as the Elise R. In addition to this nomenclature change, the Elise R will also feature the current Touring Pack as standard equipment. The recommended retail price of the Elise R is £28,995, with an On The Road recommended price of £29,945. For those customers who prefer their Elise R to have no Touring pack, there is the option to delete it. The Elise R is also differentiated from the Elise S through 8-spoke alloy wheels and raised LOTUS lettering on the rear.
