new to lotus... but considering 340r

[rathur]

Currently drive a gt3, but really want a proper light track focused car, been thinking hard about r300/400 etc caterham, but just keep looking at this... Am I mad? Anyone know this car thx a lot

Get an Exige... the 340R is getting hard to find parts for I think.

[Stephanie Plum]

Get a 2-Eleven.

Awesome car, Lotus don't produce many of the parts anymore. Limited numbers too with a production run of 340 cars, around 120 cars going to the UK and the rest going to Europe and Japan.

If it is a trackday car... what about a Exige S1 powered by a Honda K20 (+Jackson Racing supercharger as option) or a Audi V5...

[Esprit]

340Rs are stunning... almost bought one myself, but went for the S1 Exige instead.... all the same capabilities, better aero, more practical... the only disadvantage is no convertible option.

Is it not possible to modify the S1 to make it convertible as the S2???

How is the roof attached to the rollbar and windscreen???

It's is, but it's expensive. Lotus dealer Kumschick in Switzerland offered a conversion for the Exige S1.
