Lotus Exige Sport 380

[Simon82]

I'd have one in a heartbeat, with extra carbon tat! Now just to figure out how to convince the misses we don't really need a new kitchen....

[rawsco]

That's easy... "I've bought a carbon clad lotus, we can't afford a new kitchen!"

[SAJ]

Any Hethel lap times for it to confirm how big a gap?

If you add up all the "x seconds quicker" press releases, I think we're into negative laptimes now.

I was actually interested to see how it compared to the Cup R given the R wasn't road legal and this is.

Man up, Simon. Tell Beatta the Evora only cost me a sofa. Albeit a large one!!

I'll try that approach Campbell but I doubt I will get very far!

Would need to find a buyer for the 2-11 and the middle of winter not really the best time to sell a car with no roof or windows I imagine! Plus I'm not sure I actually want to sell it, quite fond of the wee thing I have to say.

[campbell]

You'll go far

looks better in Blue



Mass you must be due for another Lotus?

[ChrisG]

I think that's stunning but it makes a year old Evora 400 look like value!

Much much better in blue, glad to see the red bits aren't mandatory

Is that a rubber strip under the front splitter and does anyone know where I can get the canards and barge boards from?

If you pop into Murray's and give them you car and £40k I'm sure they'll happily give you one back with canards and barge boards.

I would hazard a guess they are using reverie for the barge boards and they also do carbon canards that would match nicely Steve

Thanks Simon, Reverie have both advertised on their website.

From the pistonheads road test for the 380,

"You've never before got a 1min 26.5sec Hethel lap time for it either: that's down from 1min 29sec for the Sport 350, thanks chiefly to the better front-end bite."
