About the 2018 Lotus Elise Cup 260 in Forza Horizon
Modern sports cars layer real-world competition refinements onto road-legal chassis — bigger brakes, smarter LSDs, faster shift logic. 2018 Lotus Elise Cup 260 represents that lineage. Forza Horizon's physics model captures the weight transfer character that distinguishes machines like this from straight-line specials.
2010s saw turbocharging, hybridization, and active aero arrive at every tier. Lotus adopted these on the Elise Cup 260 platform with results visible in lap times.

Where Lotus Sits in Forza Horizon 6
