I'll take 1000kg. *cough* dry weight.

1050kg's. That's for the SC version.

Informative link, Scotty.

Particularly on the rally car angle. Would never have believed a modern Lotus would be strong enough for rallying, but I guess the plastic body is expendable, and the tubs are actually very strong indeed.

Couple of rallycross S1s about in years gone by - motorsport bodies with no front splitter for clearance..

Photo of the interior is the clincher for me - clearly still is a 111 tub, with a different subframe, not a rebodied shortened Evora chassis. Question then is, what's taken them so long if it was doable all along in the 111 chassis? V6 Exige mules have been reported for at least 5 years, if not longer!

think more tarmac then in the woods or on snow.

Makes sense - I have often wondered why we haven't seen a rally version before - perfect for a tarmac championship

Tantalising glimpse of AU11 ETR at 9 seconds... From what I hear it's going to be blisteringly fast..

I hope that's the Elise ... but somehow I suspect it's the Exige ...

[Rag_It]

Looked like a TVR Sagaris.....

Although no matter how many times i tried to freeze it, i couldn't get a proper look!

[alicrozier]

Watch it in slow mo...blur your eyes and imagine....


Some details, double splitter (maybe that's the video effects?), really flared front arches - wide track and BIG wheels. Current Elise style lights...couldn't see a rear wing...

Could always just wait until tomorrow...

I'll put a pound on new Exige.
