I have a couple of mates at Goodwood just now,

I have asked if there is one and to send pictures, the response has been 'NO' so far!

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.

Disappointed from a 'wow, that's awesome' point of view as opposed to being in a position to buy one.

Stolen from Seloc...

I spoke with a chap at HQ this morning, it's deffo the 3-11.
British Racing Green

The new 3-11 is based on the Exige rather than the Elise. Hence the front end.
circa
420hp
800kg

Might move a bit then!

...

The chap I spoke to says that it's close to 800kg in weight, no specifics as to what is fitted. I'd agree that it will be without any fluids or options.

He also mentioned that it has set a laptime at the ring of around 7min 20secs???

Sounds pretty rapid!

Could be utter tosh of course. #justsayin

Give us a clue Graeme! Surly SE'ers should have some advance info before the great unwashed get to know about it?

What's the betting there was nothing in the box and being fettled right up to the last minute.
In that reveal pic of the front corner you can just make out the guy bolting on the rear wing...

You will be surprised I bet they only need to sell 50 or so to cover costs. I think it will be a whole different body like the 211, it will have loads is aero. I'm excited about this. Not that I've got £70k to spunk on a track day winner. Off to look down the back of the sofa for the £69k. O

If it had lapped the ring we would know about it.

Reminds me of the front wing of the motorsport S2 that got leaked after a factory tour in 2002?
