Then there is the link to the above pricelist stating £54,900 (inc VAT, but not on road costs).
So... what's the 'on the road cost'... and if it's over £55K then how come it's £5K for 'delivery' (going by B&C)?

OTR costs are another £950

Sheesh. Lot of money for a pair of numberplates

If Lotus are charging £5k for delivery - where do i sign up to be the delivery driver

I have mentioned in the past that they are £5k to expensive.

£50k sounds like a bargain starting price.

What else can you get new that that ticks the same boxes

Looks much better value at that price.

12. Frank - anytime except December
13. Kelvin - on jury duty from the 7/11 but will throw a sickie if it's a long drawn out case as apparently very few cases last longer than 200 days (it says here in the notes) FFS

There's now a configurator on the Lotus website. Poison Green anyone?

No Orange

Guess it would have to be Solar Yellow then.

For orange you need either the premium or motorsport paint option. Guessing that the motorsport option lets you paint it any colour you want.

For me I think Lotus missed an opportunity to produce something really special. Instead what we got was something cobbled together from their existing parts bin. It's more evolution than revolution. Same as they did with the 1.6l elise. In hindsight it's the easiest route to take and shouldn't have come as a surprise as most of their available funds will be going on development of the new V8 engine and the forthcoming new models.
I'm sure it will be an excellent car but it's not what I was expecting and if anything is less eye catching than the old Exige.

Confirmed the Exige V6 is £49,900; which to me, given the performance and rarity, and the way the thing will of course go round a corner - is serious value. And yes I was in the pricing meetings....! Wait until you see and hear it close up, the road presence is just incredible.

Yes the option list can lift it, but £55k gets an excellent spec. Otr costs are as they have been for 5 years plus - which, given the hikes in road tax, means the dealers have been swallowing the increases to help. Otr includes delivery to the dealer, road tax, first reg fee, fuel, plates, PDI etc etc....

and in response to your test drive (ever growing) list - my boss is not averse to it, once we have things set up and cars to use..so watch this space. Campbell, you're spot on - springtime is likely, the beer gardens will have come to life, birds tweeting, and Holiday Inn rooms available. Of course a number of you will have taken delivery of your V6 by then, so you can bring them down

Graeme, what gearbox is the car using, is it the same as the Evora?

It's nice to see the factory can still hear the regular punters! Something really fun to look forward to, taking the place of the "season opener" which used to be Donnie. Neat. Roll on 2012!
