More! More!
That was great! 0-60 in 3.9 is very impressive for only 240 horsies...
62,000 Euros is what, $70k? Wow!

Hssser · 01-18-2006, 08:51 AM

Very impressive! 0-100kph in 3.9sec will eat many more expensive-heavier-cushier-sportscars. Are we going to see the 240R sold in the US?

choi0706 · 01-18-2006, 09:09 AM

like the video states, all 50 have already been sold....

That's the price before taxes!!! Listprice was almost 87,000 Euro's overhere!
Base price of an Exige is 62,000 Euro's excluding delivery charges.

Lotus now offer the CUP racer 240. But due to emmsions regulations you won't see them in the US.

Hssser · 01-18-2006, 01:24 PM

Emission. Ah, good old emission laws!

What is the difference between the Fed Exige and the 240R I wonder? Eaton screw-type supercharger that ups the power numbers, right? I'm sure the 240hp can be matched or exeeded by aftermarket bolt-ons. Big question in my mind (not being a Toyota guy), will the stock motor handle numbers?

Lotus F1 · 01-18-2006, 03:19 PM

Not a good value at all. That's way too expensive. You could buy 3 new engines an 3 new turbo systems as backups and still come out cheaper.

Uh, negative - I've already been offered one.

Hssser · 01-18-2006, 08:17 PM

codymac,

And... As a street legal car or track only? Tell us more.

suv_bait · 01-18-2006, 11:43 PM

What is that pressurized cylinder in the trunk?

Very cool. I hope LCUSA decides to sell their factory SC as a track-only option at some point.
