Official, its really rare, I mean, those cars were driven like 3 or 4 months, then they change it for another one, the guy from the lotus, leaved it there and bought a Porsche 993, lots of money circulate there...

Lotus is official but not the Elise only the Esprit and the older cars and you can buy Exige Race Cars but that's it. The Elise won't be here for a few months or sooner not sure about the official date. Until now the Elise was imported to the states as either a race car or a kit car and they are extremely rare but it is possible to buy a fully supported and legal Espri from a dealer.
