Lotus Exige 240R
was at Lotus yesterday for a meeting and I got the chance to drive the new 240R around the test track.
OMG!! i thought the scoob was quick and handled well! this thing is almost frightening, fantastic fun. but only 50 to be built and all sold
its a 190bhp 1.8L 4 cylinder toyota engine supercharged by lotus giving 247bhp with a power to weight ratio of 261 bhp per ton.
I cannot imagine using it day to day though, its noisy, hot, bloody hard to get in and out of! but it is a seriously fun toy, if only i were rich lol

The 240R is certainly a nice car, but how much !!!! £45K new.. I'll have paid half of that and get a 380bhp/tonne Exige rather than 270
There's something funky going on with the rear lid on the 240R too, stands proud a quarter of an inch.
Still, if you gotta have an S2 shape Elise Coupe, erm, I mean Exige.. then that's the one to go for !
