The little Lotus Elise S1 was both a return to the company's original ethos of simplicity and low weight and a market revolution when it was launched just over a quarter of a century ago. Here was a car that wore its engineering proudly and offered the enthusiastic owner the visceral driving thrills that only a beautifully executed, innovative lightweight design can offer. Superseded by multiple generations the original Elise remains the sweet spot and is assured of its classic status. So what better car to kick off our brand new series than the sports car that saved Lotus?

Welcome to Future Classics where Becky Evans takes a closer look at the modern cars set to be the stars of the classic car scene.
