Is this an Exige? I took this driving (read for detail) - LotusTalk

Bent1975 · 08-28-2009, 10:25 PM

I took this image using only a cell phone camera while driving on the highway....At first I thought the cars emblem was that of a Ferrari...As I looked at the picture and showed some friends, many felt it was some type of Mustang MOD and some felt it was some sort of modded Lotus.

I am posting to see if anyone here can help shed some light on this debate which has lasted several hours!

We tried matching up the lines and curves of the car based on the models I listed above. Including rear window size, and possible mods etc. I am hoping an expert can help us shed some light!

Definitely not a Lotus Exige, looks like a Noble to me.

Implosion · 08-28-2009, 10:32 PM

Thank you all so much! None of us win the six pack since we were all wrong!

Funny still has the Hyudai break lights.

kestrel74 · 08-29-2009, 04:56 AM

serpent · 08-29-2009, 06:44 AM

PhlypSide · 08-29-2009, 07:01 AM

Yeah wish they would have picked another vehicle to canabilize from

LotusStig22 · 08-29-2009, 12:43 PM

Maybe it's Mr. Chase's.

Robert Puertas · 08-29-2009, 01:45 PM

Nope.
Randy's has silver wheels without the orange high-lights.

LotusStig22 · 08-29-2009, 02:01 PM

Oh, okay then.

I would have just assumed he kept his Rossion in a high security vault guarded by lasers and attack dogs to only see the light of day once a month.

Robert Puertas · 08-29-2009, 02:30 PM

Nope, it's his daily driver.

RacyTracy · 08-29-2009, 02:32 PM

I had that view of Randy's car for about 500 miles.....never gets old.

He drove it 4000 miles home right after picking it up, and detoured plenty far out of the way to go run mountain roads, visit people, etc.
