V6? In an Exige? Now that's going to be interesting

We freely admit to being more than moderately excited about the prospect of a V6-engined Exige here at PH.
So when we spotted that Lotus not only had created a rather interesting mini-site allowing keen Lotus-ites to follow the development of the new car, but also that it had kindly laid on some pretty photos, we felt a POTW was a bit of a no-brainer.
All that remains to be seen now, of course, is whether or not the Toyota V6-powered Exige (the car that Lotus is describing as its 'fastest ever car') is actually any good. If we were to place a bet, we know which way our money would be going...
I saw a prototype one of these in Norwich a few weeks back I guessed it must have been on test but wasnt in disguise, the inlaws thought it was very strange of me to stop dead in my tracks and stare at it but they think cars are "boring".
was maroon which wasnt the colour I'd choose but still looked nice

Let's hope that by the time it gets to market there's a version which doesn't look as though it's just crashed through Halfords. They urgently need a proper 2-seat V6 road car to dig them out of the Evora muddle...
The Exige is easily the most fun on four wheels I've ever had. My S1 Elise still puts a smile on my face .... but the Exige is just bonkers good ..... so a V6 version has to be an interesting proposition.
Not quite sure about that bulky new rear "bumper" and diffuser though .... looks a little clumsy to me ... spoils the purity of the original.
