Looks beautiful, £100k though

I'm going to pop into Lotus Newcastle to have a look at theirs in the flesh tomorrow lunch. I can't decide if it's chavtastic or road racer awesome.

They have it up for a paltry £85K

Are they just pulling magic numbers out of their bumhole for these? I know they are mega limited, but really?

I guess this is where the series of red and brown seats Lotus were selling on eBay originated from - the mules.

Very nice indeed. Not a fan of the engine cover though.

£15k premium for a car that is, on paper, 3 years younger. That's not that bad.

I don't understand why the Evora 400 doesn't look more like this. The one lying about at the Lotus Factory was truly stunning in the flesh.

Looks great, but exclusivity aside, can't see why you would buy one rather than the Evora 400 - more power, better interior etc

If you don't put exclusivity aside, that's why some people would buy one.

Is it not just a Masonary bodykit or does it have the increased front track of the GTE show cars (which means a 3 point turn becomes a 20 point turn).

Maybe should have read the Pistonheads article http://www.pistonheads.com/regulars/ph- ... tted/31952 as it explained the differences

Many panels are carbon fibre etc... Lovely car and wish I had 100k tO waste

Once you're into the £100k bracket there are some very appealing alternatives tho...

Just nipped into Lotus Newcastle. The GTE was parked next to an orange Gallardo.

It didn't even get a look in. The GTE is stunning in the flesh. If I had the funds I think I would

A stunning car to own and a decent investement too. I understand that it may not be that different from the original car to warrant the extra cost but often things are worth more than the sum of their parts.
