Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and new (potential) Lotus owner.

And I have a problem, for sure due to my ignorance...


When I saw the "Prototype" of the GT3 I got inmediatelly in love, so, I contacted the local dealer. He was very kind and polite. He phoned me next day. He told me that such model will be released at least in a year, and not road legal in Spain......

For that price I could achieve an Ultima or a Caterham, but I have a problem if this point is reached, I love Lotus, much more than any other "exotic" no matter the price (I beleive in ligtweight ). And I feel, that I would enjoy much more the Lotus chassis over the possible Ultima power under my Costa Brava roads -and much more effective in the end-. Not so sure about the Caterham though....

So, can any gentle spirit enlighten me in when the "GT3" will be released to the open roads, or if a standard "S" can be upgraded, even from the factory to achieve, at least the power (not the performance, I want the touring pack) of a 255 cup?

How could I "Factory tune" at first?

What do you think about the Ultimas, Catherhams, or even the Radicals.(Please do not cruzifie me! je, je)

Please excuse my ignorance, and all my thanks in advance.

Well if you get a new Exige S, you can add the performance pack for £3k which takes you to 240 BHP along with a few other bits.
