The Lotus Elise Cup 250 is an incredibly small and lightweight sports car that offers some truly spectacular performance specs. This particular vehicle is so small that it's about waist-high to the average sized adult, but it is capable of zooming from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.3 seconds.

This particular vehicle features a 1.8-liter cylinder engine that offers 243 horsepower at 7,200 revs per minute. The engine is capable of producing 184 pounds-feet of torque in the 3,500 to 5,500 revs per minute band.

The Lotus Elise Cup 250 will only be available in a limited run of 200 units, but its impressive performance specs, light weight and compact structure makes it a more than worthy successor to the Cup 220.
