Hello, I am looking for an Elise S2 fairly new and fairly quick. I have had 4 TVRs, a 911 and have an XKR just now. Want something a bit more focussed.
I guess the touring pack would help me for some distance touring?
So I need the bigger engine and even the supercharger? 111R?
Love Europas but also need some fresh air so the Elise will probably do.
Forgive my lack of knowledge.

Don't buy one with a loud exhaust and get the touring pack if you'll be using it for long distances. Having said that, the newer non touring pack ones are quite refined compared to the earlier cars, but it will still be a shock coming from an XKR! Probably best to test drive ones with and without.

Buy the newest you can afford. Try all the variants before you decide.

Buy some earplugs!

Have a look at SELOC for lots of advice.

Would have thought you would need the SC with your car background
