And we so desperately need one
Get Lost ... No, not like that. Get Lost is the name of the all-new design and engineering brand responsible for this, a Lotus Elise S1 reimagined for road trip schenanigans and off-road funsies. Heritage be damned, we want it.
It’s called Project Safari, and much has been done. Running all-terrain tires, a new, bespoke suspension system raises the ride height by 100mm, with the aim of ‘refining the body control’ and inspiring confidence. Not things the original was lacking, exactly.The underbody is reinforced to protect the floor from an assault of gravel, while a limited-slip diff and hydraulic handbrake are added to the toybox.
Obviously, the UK-based company couldn’t pass up the chance to rally-ify the exterior, fitting a roof scoop and a floating rear wing, with space behind it for a spare tire. There’s just something fundamentally right about a white alloy, so why not show off the backup?Meanwhile, there are rectangular bi-LED headlights ‘that actually light the road,’ and the interior has been given the bespoke treatment too, with seats designed to fit taller drivers.
“The idea of taking an Elise off-road might sound ridiculous, and that’s exactly why we leaned into it,” says George Williams, founder of Get Lost. “That one silly idea gave us real creative freedom. Every element was considered from the ground up, not just to look good in isolation, but to enhance the character and capability of the entire car.
“It wasn’t enough for the car to look good, it had to be brilliant to drive too. This is not a modified Elise, it’s our interpretation of what the platform had to offer. Everything has been considered—from the design to the drive—all in the pursuit of creating something that’s fun,” adds Williams. “If you get it, you get us. If not? Get Lost.”More photos of Project Safari–Lotus Elise S1 by Get Lost: PHOTO BY Get Lost NOTE: This story first appeared on TopGear.com. Minor edits have been made.
