Lotus Sport Exige

Well, certainly one of the more exciting days on Exiges.com! (I laughed too Mark! )

Come guys who’ve been at the show, what’dya see?!

Ian

Anyone any idea as to price? Presumably well into six figures for this sort of thing?

Here are some pics from the Autosport show today.

Not forgetting Mr Edwards explainging his splitter is much better

The front splitter on that thing is menttaall… very F1 wing(ish)…

sexy… its a shame the S2 exige didn’t even go 3/4 the way towards this… its what we all wanted…

I’ve just re-read the string and noticed the car…



Does anyone disagree about things looking exceptional in black ???

\

I have to agree with you Mike, sure that Andy and Evosal would agree

Ben, I suspect mike is talking about the woman!

Personally, I think black can loose a bit of detail, best to go for something just a little lighter.

Ian

ps. Here we go again, the thing Exigers disgaree most about - colour!

Awaiting for more visitors’ pics back from Autoshow, 6 more “official” pics on a german site (don’t know where they found them, they’re even not yet on lotus website…)

Front view, more McLaren F1 than ever…
Bottom view, see how the gearbox is apparent, “Ferrari style”…
Cockpit view, if you fit a passenger’s seat and replace racing sequential gearbox, would be not so far from a road car…
Engine close-up, clearly racing-oriented, 405 bhp at 8250 rpm from the V6 GM.
Close-up on the 6-pot front brakes.

I never thought I would want to part with the ‘most powerful exige…’, but this is just awesome!!

Methinks this would be a super tool for Gavin et al to humble Ferraris ??? Agreed ??

Keep up, Mike

It was in the same metallic black as mine …

At least I am awake now !!


One thing though, about this new car…

It is quite a bit heavier than mine, and mine has more torque !!!

Mark,

Nice one Ultimate blackmailing material.“MMMM I think that I WILL be taking the Exige this weekend Dad”

I believe that the Sootmeister has some pics of you, which he intends to let your Dad have

Did it match the metallic black on your car or on your engine cover

Sorry mate

I’ve just re-read the string and noticed the car…
