No, but the US one is still less than 2/3 the weight. Besides the bigger engine, the difference is in the Elise's construction (bonded and riveted alloy chassis), size (small and cramped), small engine with less power (allows smaller brakes, tires, chassis and suspension doesn't need to cope with massive torque and so can be lighter) and lack of creature comforts.
