    Lotus Trackday Special: 240hp 600kg

    Hey Guys,
    Lotus is releasing a new trackday special based off the Elise platform.

    600kg
    Optional second seat
    Supercharged VVTL-i Engine with approx 240hp
    0 to 60 mph 3.5 seconds
    0 to 100 mph < 9.0 seconds

    Should be an exciting drive for the track. I'm still waiting for their road legal 240hp Exige. I've seen part numbers labeled "Federal Exige front clam" or the like, so I know it's coming to the U.S. at some point, but perhaps with the standard engine at first.

    Not a clue unfortunately. I copied and pasted this from Elisetalk.

    Don't see why it wouldn't cost well under $100k, given it's Elise underpinnings and what else is available in that price range (Radical, Noble, etc.). But these low volume things can be pricey.

    The 240r exige which will have the same engine as the elise is prices at around Pounds44,000 here in the UK.

    The exige will be very very nice indeed. For the money you wont get anything faster, definatly not anything you can use on the road.

    wow that thing really looks good and agressive! I'd preffer a NA engine rather than a supercharged in that car anyway.
