LONDON: Lotus has just taken the wraps off its latest limited edition model this time in the form of the 2016 Lotus Exige 360 Cup. The car will be limited to just 20 units and features a number of bespoke components and modifications compared to other Exige variations.
For starters, the Exige 360 Cup is available in four different colours. These are Metallic White, Metallic Grey, Metallic Black and Metallic Silver with all featuring a matte black roof, tailgate and front access panel.
Powering the Exige 360 Cup is the sports car’s familiar V6 engine but it has been fettled to provide an additional 10 hp thanks largely to a sports exhaust system. When combined with an overall weight of just 1130 kg, the 360 Cup is undeniably a real driver’s car.
Beyond the engine and exhaust upgrades, it has been installed with a refined front splitter as well as a new rear diffuser and rear wing. These elements help provide 42 kg of downforce at 160 km/h.
Discussing the car, Lotus chief executive Jean-Marc Gales said “The V6 Cup was a favourite amongst many knowledgeable customers with its incredible track performance and distinctive design.
