Thats a whole lot of lard in there
Wonder if the gearbox would cope with a power hike to regain some of the power to weight.

Cost of consumables will be high… brakes, tyres…
It’s running on 18’s and has big brakes all round, so a set of decent tyres is going to be ~1k… pads will be 500 or so? It’s not going to be a cheap car to track.
Lot of weight in the arse end too 
Expecting the Elise V6 to be announced Tuesday (Geneva MS) at under 1100kgs but it won’t have the same downforce as the Exige V6
Lot’s & Lot’s of PR coming out of Lotus, about anything & everything. Not a lot else !!! 
Bet the elise will be N/A though, so while it might be 100KG less it’s still lardy.
