The 2008 Limited California Special Edition of the Lotus Elise features significant bodywork and trim upgrades designed specifically for the lifestyle market. This collectible edition will initially be offered in a limited quantity of 50 units worldwide - twenty-five in Saffron Yellow and twenty-five in Ardent Red.

Upgrades include Touring Pack, rear spoiler, cast wheels, two-tone plush leather interior, hardtop, Alpine sound system and Starshield. But ultimately, the 2008 California Special Edition Lotus Elise isn't really about keeping up with the Jones'. It's about leaving them behind.
