Press Release:

The Lotus Exige 360 Cup• Limited edition - 1 of 50 - Exige V6 Cup

• Increase in power of 10 PS

• New lightweight louvered tailgate and front access panel

Lotus Motorsport redefines the Exige V6 Cup with the introduction of the Exige 360 Cup. New lightweight

panels and an increase in power mean the Lotus Motorsport Cup model continues to provide a benchmark

in handling and performance.

The Exige 360 Cup bespoke styling signals an evolution in design, with an option of four colours (Metallic

White, Metallic Grey, Metallic Black and Metallic Silver) and stealth matt black roof, front access panel and

louvered tailgate. This design is a limited edition run of 50 vehicles and each of these special Exige 360

Cup cars will receive a numbered Lotus Motorsport build plate.

This new model boasts an increase in power of 10 PS with freer flowing induction and a sports exhaust

system, which combined with a low vehicle weight of 1130 kg gives an incredibly pure driving experience

on road and track. The powertrain updates also give the Exige 360 Cup a sportier soundtrack to enhance

the driving experience.

Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of Group Lotus plc, commented: “The V6 Cup was a favourite amongst many

knowledgeable customers with its incredible track performance and distinctive design. I am excited about the introduction of the new 360 Cup which moves the game forward with striking new design features and performance upgrades that offer phenomenal ability on road and track.” The Exige 360 Cup uses the track proven aero package from the Exige V6 Cup with an aerodynamically optimised front splitter, rear diffuser and wing. Together with the flat underside these aerodynamic aids offer 42 kg of downforce at 100 mph (160 km/h). The chassis on the Exige 360 Cup is a Lotus designed stiff and lightweight bonded aluminium chassis with double wishbone suspension all round. The car is fitted with track focused 2-way adjustable suspension and a 4-dynamic mode (drive, sport, race and off) system, including launch control. New features for the Exige 360 Cup include a bespoke lightweight front access panel, new lightweight rear tailgate and louvered panel. The Exige 360 Cup has a distinctive design, updated grooved brake discs for improved performance, Motorsport Red wheels, embroidered seats and dash panel. The options available for the Exige 360 Cup include a new red Alcantara interior, adjustable anti-roll bars, Öhlins race dampers, fire extinguisher and electrical cut-off, FIA carbon seats, air conditioning and removable steering wheel. The Exige 360 Cup is on sale now through the Lotus dealer network with prices starting at £62,995 (MSRP) including 20% tax. As with all Lotus Motorsport Cup models the Exige 360 Cup is eligible for Lotus Cup race series.

In periodo di vacche magre, Lotus presenta un sempre interessante upgrade Cup per la Exige (soltanto 50 esemplari).

Il 3.5 V6 è adesso capace, come avrete capito, di 360 CV, il ché le permette di compiere lo 0-100 in meno di 4 secondi.

Che mezzo ragazzi !

Esteticamente mi piace meno delle incarnazioni precedenti, ma possiamo aggiungere un bel "chissenefrega" vista la mission dell'auto!

Mi piacerebbe davvero farci un giretto in pista.

... anche io, con il passare degli anni, esteticamente, la trovo un po' più bruttina... si fa per dire... non rimane che esclamare... MAMMA MIA.

Strabella ed esagerata, proprio come deve essere Le ruote rosse sono il top ...e ci sono anche assetto Ohlins tarabile e il volante staccabile come optionals

[Giampi]

Bella come sempre.

Ma la prima cosa che mi é passata per la testa é che non sanno più come colorarla per fare la ennesima edizione limitata.
