New Lotus Exige Cup 260

The more they crank up the numbers the less appealing the Exige GT3 becomes.

Well it ain’t being made anyway, is it.

Maybe they’re making sure the V6 will fit in

Correct, which makes it about �42K in real money (exchange rate is �/euro 1.33).

The top speed is still quoted as less than a 111R though

Err, Local Taxes in the UK means VAT @ 17.5%.

Then start looking at the options (plus VAT)

Lotus Sport, the motor sport division of Lotus Cars, has unveiled the 2008 Lotus Sport
Exige Cup 260. A direct development of the 2007 Exige Cup Car, this year’s model has a
revised engine management system that raises maximum power output to 257 hp (260PS, hence the name of the car), up by nearly 5 hp over last year.

The Lotus Sport Exige Cup 260 has full European homologation for road use (a must have for some competitive environments where a road legal car has to be entered). Since it’s still a roadgoing car, the '08 Exige Cup 260 carries over the advancements made to other 2008 Exiges, including an immobilizer-key ignition system, traction and launch control systems, and a redesigned instrument pack with different gauge faces.

Optional equipment is available for the hardcore, including slick tires, an FIA approved Recaro driver’s seat, an FIA approved 18.5 liter fuel cell, a catalytic-free exhaust system, a dog gearbox, and a plate-type Lotus Sport limited slip differential.

Those wheels look the same as the black ones on my '06 S. If I am right, why do you suppose they don’t fit the lightweight wheels?

If I’m not - ignore me!!

think they are, just in �high power silver" which looks worse! the best ones are the light weight 5 spoke ones that where on the 240R! even the Current light weight ones availible are nice and I would spec them if I order this car.

That makes the car �50k for 20 hp, makes the �3k for the performance pack seem like the bargain of the year!
