Description: Highlights 1 of only 50 California Editions produced 28K miles / Two owners Secant Vehicles-built 2.0L supercharged engine - 280 HP Extensive performance build with an essentially stock appearance Paint-matched hardtop + black soft top Excellent service and build documentation About This 2008 Lotus Elise California Edition is finished in red over the special off-white interior with California Edition-embroidered headrests and red contrast stitching. With just 28K miles and two owners , it is one of only 50 California Editions produced and has been extensively upgraded mechanically while still looking remarkably close to stock . We recently acquired the car back from the same customer we sold it to in 2020 , giving us firsthand familiarity with this special Elise and its history. In 2009, Secant Vehicles completed a comprehensive engine and drivetrain build. The factory 1.8-liter engine was replaced with a LSJ 2.0 Ecotec engine and fitted with forged pistons, upgraded valve springs and head studs, a mechanical timing-chain tensioner, upgraded crankshaft sprocket and a baffled/trap-door oil pan. The block was machined and honed, the rotating assembly rebalanced and the cylinder head resurfaced. An M62 supercharger running 17 PSI , air-to-water intercooling and calibrated GM factory ECM bring output to approximately 280 horsepower , with a 7,200-RPM capability. The 5-speed manual features a 4.05 final drive, limited-slip differential and upgraded high-strength half shafts , along with a Secant engine mounting system and shifter refinements. Despite the extensive build, the exterior remains clean and essentially factory in appearance - exactly what makes this example so appealing. It retains the lightweight, analog character of the Elise while delivering substantially more performance than stock. Key Features & Included Items 2.0L Secant-built supercharged engine / 280 HP 5-speed manual / Limited-slip differential Paint-matched hardtop Black soft top Star Shield/PPF on the front end 2 keys Original window sticker Owners manuals Service records Documentation from the Secant build/modification process This is a rare opportunity to own a 1-of-50 California Edition with a properly engineered, well-documented performance build. With 280 horsepower in an approximately 2,000-pound Elise , the performance is transformed, yet visually the car still presents much like Lotus intended, making it an especially compelling example for someone who wants serious upgrades without the look of a heavily modified car.
