New V6 Exige Unveiled - PC Special Edition - Spazz Inspired

Post by Andy G » Thu Aug 28, 2014 1:19 pm

Lotus hasn't announced the new Exige V6 PC Special edition. Based on the Exige S, exactly 1 PCs will be built, commemorating the Legend and Puddings of Spazz 2014.

A collection of cars we hope it scalps are shown below, as long as the driver isn't near the desert trolley the evening before.....

Image

What this says about the team’s hopes for the current Formula 1 season, well, we wouldn’t like to comment. Actually maybe some Pudding is the missing secret? But come on – you’ve got to admit this is a pretty sexy looking machine. Lotus has gone for the old favourite black and gold theme, without a little current F1 red.

The numbering system is very simple, there is only 1.

Image

There are no upgrades to the 350hp 3.5-litre supercharged V6 – so you’ll have to make do with 0-62mph in 4.0 seconds and 170mph flat out. But the PC Special does get the Race Pack as standard (four-stage Dynamic Performance Management with launch control, exhaust bypass override switch and suspension set-up to cope with Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo tyres, also included on the LF1). Future versions may have brake upgrades to prevent issues, grass cutting, and other on Spazz and Frolics.

You also receive some lovely Lotus Pottery tat , as well as what the firm is calling PC Special Membership. This includes a tour for two of the Lotus Cars and the Pottery making Team HQs, plus a membership card that saves owners up to 20 per cent on official Lotus PC merchandise. Seriously. Not too mention the ability to specially request desert items when visiting Hethel.

Emergency wine and gin storage areas also present to ensure late night Ferry based parties continue without disruption.

Image

All this is yours for the princely sum of £62,900 – a mere £1 more than the standard car. Which actually isn’t a bad deal if you consider the extras. You’d also have to hope the PC Special will be worth more than a standard Exige S come resale time, but perhaps not if we go on the number of Macau Edition Elise models currently sitting unsold in the classifieds… (this Elise Sports Racer is a happier example of the limited edition effect).

(FK/AG/CM would like to make it clear that no V6 Exiges were harmed the making of the unique vehicle)

you'd better believe it - as the statement says - there is only 1 of these, it does exist, and I believe PC is collecting soon from a fine garage in Edinburgh :cheers

The legend continues.......... :cheers

Almost looks like the smiley face is holding a Pudding Cup :damnfunny :damnfunny :damnfunny :damnfunny

ps - thanks Pistonheads for the LF1 update for me to modify :thumbsup

To be fair, his phone wasn't unattended, which made it even better.
