Lotus Sport Exige Cup 260

Following on from the 2007 Cup, the new car has all the MY08 upgrades (including a new instrument pack and variable traction and launch controls) plus an extra 5bhp, taking the total to 257bhp. At £42,000 the Cup isn’t cheap, but as standard it has four-piston AP Racing front calipers, an FIA roll-cage and adjustable suspension. A track-only version will also be available with options like a dog ’box, a 70-litre fuel cell and no catalysts.
