I am picturing a V6 Exige that has been driven under a very strong security barrier a bit too quickly.... :D

I wonder if it will have any form of soft top, or be completely open a la 211.

I think that we know roughly what it's going to look like, albeit with a slight tweak with the aerodynamics. I doubt there will be any surprises, but you never know. Only my 2p.

These are my questions though;

Will it be charge-cooled?

What horse power will it have 400/420 or more?

How much will it weigh?

Who will have an order in for one :lol:


Steve.

I am actually wondering if that is a 400 bhp exige and not a 3-11. It looks like it has a windscreen if you look at the picture.

Maybe just a rollbar stay? No wing mirror?

If it is an Exige 400 then I think there will be a lot of disappointment after all the hype. (Disclaimer: Unless it looks considerably more awesome than the standard V6)

If it's the 3-11 then I'd hazard a guess that Dom would be right.

I don't see how, 99% would never buy a 3-11. There is only 6 people on SE had a 2-11 and I doubt sales of 3-11 would be any better. Lotus don't need another small volume car they need something that will fly out the door in descent numbers.

I guess it's all down to how many they expect to sell v the development cost. And how many you sell might be down to who you can scalp.

Are they launching it at a low volume, high wealth event, or a high volume mass media show?
