Sorry to ambush this link but I'm stunned at the cracking move forward Lotus have just announced

Have i missed something?! Theyve juggled around with the option pack and simplified them a bit? And you can have the 240 engine on any colour you like instead of the cadena special edition?

• Full leather or Microfibre suede-effect interior

I meant the Performance pack, it's only 3k over the price of a normal Exige S I think that's stonking value

But if i read it correctly its just the higher engine tune and the bigger brakes? No suspension upgrades or any of the other little bits and pieces which soon add up you got on 240r and cup.

No doubt the original brakes, roof and clutch get recycled back to the production line too so a retro upgrade is unlikely to be cost effective. The front brake kit alone is £1500+vat+fitting!

Don't think so but I might be wrong. they usually send them over to Lotus Sport to be upgraded. Suspension is something that I'd look at thou

Thought for a nano second there they'd actually released a new model .

[Boggy]

I thought it was a good news, thought anyone that wanted to buy an Exige S or who want's to upgrade their Exige would also want to see it anyway

Yeah i guess it might be a good option for anyone purchasing a new car.

However, i think i have more chance of winning the lottery than lotus supplying and fitting that little lot to someone's existing car for £3k inc vat. And i dont even play the lottery!

I'll be in the market for it anyway (Well as long as it's around 3k)

At those prices I can't see it these being available other than at the time of order on a new car. More cynically it's a sales tool to clear the existing models ready for '08.

It's going to be an ongoing upgrade for Exige S model's so I've been told, not just to clear out old stock
