Historically driven. Meticulously built. Ridiculously light. Singularly focused. Be front row and centre for the VHPK story.

Frankfurt Motor Show – 12 September 1995-2025.

Thirty years to the day since the Elise first stunned the automotive world at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, a new chapter in lightweight performance begins. Introducing the VHPK – an uncompromising, limited-production driver’s machine inspired by the spirit of the original, but reborn with modern materials and unmatched craft.

Designed around a singularly-focused central seating position, this car places the driver perfectly at the centre of the experience, echoing the DNA of the legendary single seat Elise at the Autobytel Lotus Championship.

Lightweight. Focused. Pure.
Weighing in at just 600kg, the VHPK is built from the ground up to be a purist’s dream. Every element is engineered for minimal weight and maximum engagement.

Full carbon fibre bodywork
The vehicle is equipped with an ultralight carbon wheel and a carbon ceramic brake package, reducing unsprung mass to an absolute minimum.

Built to drive
The bespoke carbon interior is designed with surgical precision around the driver. Our calling card, the unique central seating layout, echoes our motorsport intent and pure driving control.

At the VHPK’s heart lies a reimagined icon – the legendary K-series engine, taken to its ultimate form. Now featuring increased displacement, bespoke billet and forged internals, the engine produces over 250 bhp – delivering an astonishing 400 bhp per tonne power-to-weight ratio.

With just 35 examples to be built worldwide, the VHPK is as rare as it is radical. Each car will be individually numbered and crafted with obsessive attention to detail.

VHPK will be available to order exclusively through Analogue Automotive in 2026.
