New Exige Cup ('09) - LotusTalk

viacondotti · 10-01-2008, 02:42 PM

"Weight drops by over 80 pounds this year to just under a ton thanks to copious use of carbon fiber. Coupled with a 257-horsepower 1.8-liter Toyota-sourced mill force fed through an intercooler by an Eaton M62 supercharger, the '09 Exige Cup 260 should hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds."

Looks like it has a butt mustache!

the weight loss is not as drastic as I was expecting... easily replicable in an S240... as are the power mods

For the price, time and headache involved it's not really sensible to convert an S240 into a Cup car.

Darn. I posted it 1 minute earlier, and this one gets all the attention. =)

Agreed, not a significant difference for a current owner. The options that were added to decrease weight are all available to us now with the exception of the seats.

Seats are available from ?????

The cage sounds very nice. If this car is offered in a street legal trim with the option of airjacks it would be a nice update.
