stupenda......Riccardo sarà estasiato...

ma nn sono un pò troppi 405cv per 850kg?

[Meg85...]

è stupenda!!! puro piacere di guida...

filerà più di un missile con quei 400cv sotto il cofano...brava lotus, come sempre...

[Autodelta85]

vi giuro che non ho parole................................KE FIGATA

ma la metteranno in vendita?

che motore è quel 3.0 V6?

una sola domanda.....850Kg mi pare troppo ottimistico perchè già l'attuale Exige col 1.8 toyota sta su quel peso,se un v6 3.0 peserà cosi vorrebbe dire che hanno ulteriormente allegerito il telaio e anche il motore deve avere un basamento leggero

chiunque abbia qualsiasi notizia è pregate di riportarle

Lotus Sport, the performance division of Lotus Cars Ltd., has developed the new Lotus Sport

Exige, a direct motorsport derivative of the successful Lotus Exige.

The Lotus designed and engineered racecar was part manufactured by RTN, the team

responsible for the Le Mans winning Bentley, using the latest motorsport techniques and

procedures to produce a lightweight yet strong carbon-fibre bodywork structure around the

standard road-going Lotus Exige Aluminium extruded and bonded chassis.

The Lotus Sport designed fully adjustable suspension system with double wishbones all round

was fabricated and manufactured by Pilbeam. Power is provided by a 400 hp Swindon Racing

Engines tuned GM 3 litre V6 racing engine linked to a Hewland sequential six-speed gearbox,

with AP-Racing providing the braking system.

This one-off racecar has been built for a South East Asian client and is expected to race in

selected sportscar races in Asia. There are no plans as yet to build further examples of the

Lotus Sport Exige but the base structure has been carefully designed to comply with key

motorsport regulations around the world. Adhering to the key Lotus philosophy of performance

through lightweight, the Lotus Sport Exige weighs in at just 850kg.

The whole project, conducted in complete secrecy has taken less than 6 months and the car

will run for the first time at the 2½ mile Hethel test track in mid January.

Chris Arnold, General Manager for Lotus Sport explains the philosophy behind the Lotus Sport

Exige:

“The Lotus Sport Exige is a competition car developed directly from the road going Exige. The

racecar uses the existing tub with only minor modifications, and careful design has enabled

Lotus Sport to package an upgraded powertrain assembly whilst maintaining an equivalent

weight to the existing road car. When this package is combined with further improvements to

suspension and bodywork, it produces a fantastic looking car with great track potential.

The car has been taken from concept to reality in only six months and I thank all our

engineering partners and the staff at Lotus who have worked so hard on this fantastic project.”

As the Lotus Sport Exige is, at present, a one-off racecar, a price cannot be given for the

racecar package.

Ma dove sono i pedali?

[Meg85...]

guarda bene davanti al sedile...ci sono, son un po' in alto però ci sono...oltretutto a me sembrano pure scomodi...

[Sonata_Arctica]

Ma..... sbaglio o fuori è molto più brutta???

[AlfaMontecarlo]

Scomodi i pedali, non credo non hai maiguidato una Lotus allora.. sei letteralmente sdraiato i pedali sono comodissimi in quel modo.
