Lotus Motor Sport Elise '99

The Lotus Motor Sport Elise '99 is a race car (treated as a road car up until GT4) produced by Lotus. It first appeared in Gran Turismo 2 and has been featured in all subsequent mainline games up to Gran Turismo 6.

*Blue
*Light Blue
*Light Green
*Black
*Red

==In-game description==
"A special Elise with racing equipment."

==Trivia==
*The version appearing from GT3 onwards is actually based on the 2000 version of the car, while the version GT2 is based on the concept version of the car shown to motoring press in 1999.
*Although the in-game description of this car in the NTSC version of GT2 states that this car is "meant for competition use only", this car was treated as a road car in its appearances in the Gran Turismo series until GT4. This was fixed in GT PSP and onwards, where this car is now treated as a race car. As a result, this car has "Racing: Hard" tyres by default once bought in GT5 and GT6.
**This could be justified due to the absence of race cars that could compete with this car in equal terms in GT2 and GT3.
*In GT2, this car cannot be racing modified normally, however, it does have an body file for a racing modified version of the car, internally named "iomsr". Even more surprising is the fact that if, using a cheat device to obtain the unused body, the car's "racing" body is not actually a race-modified version of this car, but the unused soft-top version of the Lotus Elise '96. This body was used to represent the Elise in demo builds of the game. It also reflects the following interesting properties:
**It will display a value of 0 Credits, as it does not have a valid purchase price defined. If the car is sold, the player will receive no credits (this, and the following properties, except for the night headlight and replay name, do not apply if the car's body is used to replace another car's body in the garage).
**The vehicle banner will default to the Mazda RX-7 A-Spec LM Edition (the first entry in the "carlogo" folder; this folder contains the car banners).
**The home garage list will now simply read "[R]No Name No Name", while the car appears as "Delete" in replays, as defined in the .carinfoa/.carinfoe/.carinfoj files.
**Because the car also uses the parameters of the Mazda RX-7 A-Spec LM Edition, the specifications are derived from that car, and only racing tyres can be installed. Additionally, viewing the specifications of the car also reflects the RX-7 A-Spec LM Edition's spec sheet.
**If the car is taken to a night course, the headlight surroundings will change into silver, irrespective of the actual body color.
