[quote=bobo]good write up thorburn

yo rene - this is it idling and pulling off smile not much to hear but since there are so few videos about ...

having had a go in the v6 your video illustrates my only real bone of contention w the car, the engine loses aggressive tone, so crucial for a car of this type, further up the rev range and becomes somewhat muted/suffocated?. you can hear the same in your vid.

there were also test-days with the new Exige in Belgium, some gave great reviews and order one, the lucky bds in Belgium pay a lot les the we with extra taxes/bpm in the Netherlands.

a short video from them, sounds reasonable good to>>

Just wondered if anyone could answer a few questions in regards to the new Exige S.

1) The bronze one looks stunning, is it available for the Exige as i thought 'autumn bronze' was an Evora only colour and it's not on the Lotus configurator?

2) Are the black wheels also available to spec aswell as the red anodised wing posts/exhaust tip/wing mirrors? Carbon air intakes and racing numbers etc like the car below? (Again not featured on the Lotus configurator?)



3) Maybe a guess but do you think the new Exige will hold it's value aswell as previous models which seem to be one of the lowest depriciating models ever!

Really hoping to own one in the near future, are first delivery's still expected for September?

Fellow gooner

1 . AB is a cost option but not on the configurator. I have seen a physical exige in AB and it's not too bad at all but not my bag. I have specced a non standard colour so it's possible.

2 . All black wheels saves you 350 quid . Just select non diamond cut.

3 . Who knows, these will be far fewer s3 exiges in the UK than s2s so standard demand and supply rules apply. This one punches above its weight as no doubt u have read.

No idea on timescales for an order made now. Call your dealer. Let us know
