You could probably spec it higher than that, with spare and such like, one set of wheels won't cut it.

How have they increased the hp of the Exige's 345 to 450?

180 tuts with no windscreen, brilliant.

Steve the 70 later tank is a fia bag tank, you can fit that to any elise/exige. They are about £1500 + and lave a expire date. If you want a. 60ltr tank for your car drop me a pm I can get you a deal.
Cheers, I will speak to you on Tuesday.

You're right Scotty but the 'Race' spec 311 is £15k more expensive than one of these.

Not sure that makes it good value.

the LMP track car is £99k+vat which makes it more expensive not less than the 3-11 race spec.

I've got a 430hp Evora S (Komotec).... Gearbox is fine.

Will have a look tomorrow when I'm more awake. Right now the styling looks all over the place to me, bits of Exige, Evora, missing... ;)

For me, the 340R looked nearly perfect.
The 2-11 looked bland.
This looks fussy.

No denying the specs are impressive though!

The concept is great. And this might be controversial but I don't think the colours picked for launch allow you to appreciate the shape. Just to see where the lines are id like to see s picture of a silver one or another light colour. Maybe just me :-)

You need to be pretty serious on track days to spend £100k on it. Expect 211 prices to rise shortly

Used Jims. Which actually forced me down the 430 route (it wasn't planned) as Jims exhaust was flowing TOO freely and was suffering a lack of back pressure. Upping the power has compensated.

What's it like? Scary. It's definitely much quicker than a standard Exige S (I'm in an Evora) - loads more mid range torque/ great top end. Short shifting through 1st is the only consideration on the gearbox :)

Did you get the kit cheaper for having Jim's exhaust or did they still charge you the full amount.

It was a good bit cheaper as I didn't need their manifolds :)
