Lotus Exos launched.

[NathanE]

The 'Lotus planet' being breached by a sun/star logo is freaking badass too.

Agreed

 

[Flibster]

More info is needed though.

When I get it.

I guess that's basically your ultimate track day car for the super rich right there?

I suppose people might also use them for some racing too

I'm expecting another single make series from Lotus to arrive. We had the Lotus Cup with the central seat Elises and we've currently got the Lotus On Track events

So what is it. A track day car?

Single seat race car essentially. Looks to have FIA spec head protection so it's going to be extremely serious.

I love the paintjob - especially with the trails leading to the F1 cars and the years they ran them. WANT ONE!

 

[ZG002]

I wish I was rich

 

[Trifid]

Are you allowed open wheels on normal track days anyway?

 

[nanospider]

About time, the Elise was due an update

 

[Crizzy]

Looks amazing, just googled "lotus exos" and this thread was the first result, nice going

To be fair this is the first *I've* heard of it so there can't be a lot of information out there.

Depends, I've been on a couple where someone was running an old Formula Ford or F3000 car.

Wow, just WOW.

Rips down poster of Countach and tennis player scratching her bottom to make room.

 

[Flibster]

Holy hell! Really want one now.

The Exos is a 640hp car with unique tub and construction for accommodation similar to the Evora eg it can fit drivers from 4'8" to 6'4" and all in between.

Lotus are the first and only manufacturer to offer such a product, it is amazing!!

The car will be aligned with a totally unique and exclusive lifestyle package that you would only be able to find in the edges of the EXOSphere*.

*The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space if it is moving fast enough to attain escape velocity; otherwise it will be pulled back to the celestial body by gravity. In either case, such a molecule is unlikely to collide with another molecule due to the exosphere's low density.

One million dollars.

 

[godinman]

My good god. That has actually made my mouth water.

Do want.

Anyone interested in a group buy?

1m / 100 = $10000

£6200 each.

3 days each a year.

Put £100 each in a pot per year for maintenance and storage (£10000).


I don't think the GF would let me do this tho

 

[logix42p]

$1m might have to give it a miss this year then

 

[Cosimo]

God god, it's out of this world.
