12

Yes, I think so.
Check this: Lotus web page

For Switzerland they made 4 Cup255: my car, a black one with yellow strips an 2 yellow cars with white/gray strips. They are all road-legal.
Actually LotusSport makes only 2-Eleven Cars.

PS: Sorry my bad english, I hope you understand this…

The red Cup-189bhp was my car before, after 2 Years hard driving (Trackdays) without problems I sold it and changed to the aktually Cup255:

I’m jealous…

It makes my Black Exige look boring.

Are those shots of the five/six guys and the cars on the airstrip in Gstaad?
We’ve spent two summer hols there in a friend’s chalet. It’s absolutely magificent and there are some amazing cars around there, including Carrera Gt, Maserati MC12, Merc gullwing. Aston Zagato. etc. Not sure if I dare drive my S1 Exige that far. It’s tempting though . . .

Pyrenees, Alps, Dolomites, etc have to be some of the best playgrounds for an S1. If you have never done it then it should go on your list of things that you MUST do!
