Exige w/Zonda look? - LotusTalk

308tr6 · 10-27-2009, 11:45 AM

I have always like the rear view of a Zonda, just curious if anyone has replicated this exhaust setup/look on their Exige? I think it would look pretty killer. If so, pics?, or any photochoppers want to take a poke at it?

Cheers.

Perry's old Elise had twin pipes exiting between the tails:

would look something like this setup...

308tr6 · 10-27-2009, 03:15 PM

Yeah, but I was thinking an exit point at the license plate bracket area rather than so high....

madden · 10-27-2009, 03:27 PM

the plate area is pretty small to fit 4 tips

Then check user Dapcius's rebuild thread:

Taste is a purely personal matter. I find the Zonda not to my taste and wouldn't modify a Lotus to look like one. YMMV. Dave

...on a street car you'd be left with the unfortunate quandary of finding somewhere to put your plate...

on a 12 cylinder car 4 exhaust pipes seems OK, on a 4 cylinder in seems a bit disingenuous - sort of like the fake roof scoop on my NA 2006

Actually, I didn't like the way the exhaust looked on my Zonda(s), so I had them modded to exit below the rear panel, just like on the Elise. I did it to both of my Paganis... I like them better that way....

GOTCHA !

Sorry, not for a second!

Could be a start.

They they miss judged the cut when they were making the holes for the exhaust?

I'm all for extreme mods but Don't do it, it's not going to look good...

It is a poor Photoshop job.

The Zonda is not an attractive car. Looks like a Hot Wheels car. Don't do this to your Lotus.

Blasphemy!

The Zonda is probably one of the hottest rides on the road.

And the sound....

Didn't say it doesn't sound good. Janis Joplin sounded good.

Just very hard to look at.

Close, if only it were higher, and Mid-Engine

Our apartment has 2 Zonda in the parking lot, old and new version

If you don't like this, there is something wrong with you. But, maybe a Zonda rear is just best left on the Zonda.
