My Mate took me out in this yesterday...

[Chris]

.... I sh*t myself... this car is f**king mental and I soooooooooooo want one now!! 220BHP in something that weighs as much as a fag packet... was just like a very very high powered go-kart, felt like I was sitting on the tarmac.

[bullit]

very nice, not keen on the white though

[Chris]

I think it looks awesome in the white with the dark wheels!!

[darkslag72]

wow i want. with my conering balls, id be unstopable!!!!

[Sisqo]

i love those cars :) fucking awsome :y:

[Chris]

Incase anyone wonders why it has 2 different number plates on it, that's cause some of the pics were from when he first got it and some are of it now!

[Nathan]

love these with a passion. white ftw! i like it when they throw them about at trax (Silverstone) ;)

[Karl]

Pass the tissues.

[leeroybrown]

My mate sold his V6 clio for a black one of these paid something like 32k

Amazing Chris how well they go and handle

Sound of the supercharger behind you ears are awesome

Are we now a salesman for Lotus and not Vauxhall now :)

[Ruddy]

I would eat my own grandmothers ashes for one of them. RIP Fran. Bless her.

He's a member of some club within Pistonheads... he meets up with other petrolheads and goes on trips round Wales and Europe in search of awesome roads, then he puts the car to test....... some of the others in the club drive cars such as Ferrari's BMW M3 CSL's, Mosler's etc.

He asked if I wanted to go with him on the the Wales trip :y:

Chris :)

i put a windscreen in 1 of these a couple of weeks ago, and i drove it. tbh they are a nice car, but the interior is really bad, it feels almost empty.

Took me ages to find the bonnet release and about 2 hours to fit the screen :n:

Nice car tho!

[Jackman]

Is it an Exige S?

My mate has the normal Exige and it sounds incredible!

Yeah, the noise was amazing and the cornering I just couldn't believe... you don't need to slow down for roundabouts (so long as you know it's clear)

LOL... I wish I was a slesman for Lotus... might get a company car

LMFAO... you always crack me up Ruddy... Legend!

thats the whole point and why there such an immense car imo,

one of the finance crew local to me has one, with a few extra mods apparently running 330bhp... not entirely sure if thats true but his other finance buds all have scoobs, evos and 5 series beemers...

[scottyvtr]

ooooh very nice ftw!!

[leeroybrown]

He had to drive like a bitch for 600 miles then he took his back to LOTUS and they tuned it up

Can slo get a performance kit from lotus that ups the bhp etc 3k like lol

[Chris]

Is it an Exige S?

My mate has the normal Exige and it sounds incredible!

Yes it is the S

[matt_vtr_15]

how much did that cost him Chris? fanny magnetmobile ftw!!!

your right i suppose. but do they have to be so hard to work on. if any1 needs 1 windscreen for 1, dont ask me :A:

[dannygti]

ive just come back from the ring and saw loads of these there and trust me with a good driver they are fu*king quck.

[evans1089]

oo sexualm ow much it cost?

[Chris]

He said he paid a little over £30K for it..... he has a Focus as a everyday car, but he gets out in this as much as he can.

Chris :)

[Marcos]

dont normally like lotus but that is nice how much do they weigh?

[DanA]

these are immence cars, white looks rather lovely :)

[Jojobunbun]

i would lurrrrrrrrrrve to go out in that! but agree with bullit, dont like the whiteness!

[Chris]

I couldn't believe it has luxuries such as Aircon and Electric windows.

The Carbon fibre seats and door trim are f**king lovely!!

[leeroybrown]

you have to pay extra for a cup holder!!!!

[matt_vtr_15]

dont normally like lotus but that is nice how much do they weigh?

around 725 kilos with a 0-60 well under 5 seconds...=immense

[Chris]

dont normally like lotus but that is nice how much do they weigh?

935KG :y:
0-60 = 4.1s

[N9KKC]

that looks cool!

[leeroybrown]

The new type approved Performance Pack gives the Exige S the same bite as the limited edition Lotus Sport 240R and, you can't help thinking, has been done with more than one eye on distancing the Exige S from the forthcoming 220bhp Elise SC. To release the extra power, Lotus has developed a new roof panel


with a wider and full-length roof scoop that improves intercooler efficiency, and then supplied more fuel with revised injectors. An ecu remap makes sense of it all and means 240bhp at 8,000rpm (up from 218bhp) and 170lb ft of torque (up from 159lb ft) with more of both throughout the rev range. But the pack also brings larger 308mm front discs with 4 piston AP Racing callipers, complete with upgraded pads and hoses, and you also get the variable traction control system from the 2-Eleven (with launch control) while the clutch receives attention to handle the greater forces. You'll need to find an extra £3,000.

[Ferg]

WOW that is porn!

[Yates]

love them, seen one broken down on sunday night, lovely black one

[DavoVTR]

I explained that on page 1

Ah ha.... maybe i should start to read the rest of the thread rather than just looking at the original post ?! Although that'd take time and is mostly not necessary... apart from this time!:fcuk:

Yeah... it was immence!!! I'm usually a terrible passenger, but I trusted my mate and I know that he knows the limits of his car, so I was pretty relaxed and just taking in the shear quality of the blast!

Chris :)
