What say the Seven crowd?

I honestly don't think Caterham especially under new Japanese ownership would undertake building Elises. (Elisi?) Especially with the doom and gloom and challenges of IC motors phased out. Caterham to my recollection still makes very few of its actual components and is more a lifestyle brand and assembly factory. Elise would be a whole different ballgame and level of overhead. 

 

With that said it proved to be a successful model to keep making a popular item even after creator or corporate overlords have decided to move on. Somebody might accept that challenge. 

 

Another bonus for the Elise platform and future is that it proved competent and successful in EV variant when Tesla build the first Roadster and that was a lifetime ago in EV world.
