Lotus is on its way back, and the proof is the Lotus Exige V6 Cup – both in street trim, the Cup S, and the Cup R racer. Steve Sutcliffe puts them to the tes…

The car is pretty impressive, and the new styling is nice, but I kinda miss
the looks of the old Exige and Elise.
I’ll pick the Lotus Exige over M3. Similar acceleration time but the Lotus
have a better frame and damper for track performacne.
Sutcliffe is on Trofeo-R tires in the rain and still owning the
track…wow!
The new Exige V6 is a good successor
So controlled
£63 grand!? you what?
We need a street legal version of the Exige V6 in the U.S.
They are almost as fast as an electric car lugging around 450kg battery
now…
Time to wake up, Lotus. Contact me. I’m the one to ask.
I have yet to see Lotus come up with a car that’s better than one of their
older models strapped with a Honda k20a.
Wish it was legal in the states
This deserves so much more views, Lotus is doing one heck of a job,
building these cars!
I want the gearbox of the Exige V6 Cup R for all Lotus cars (street legal)!
;D
Thankyou Lotus… and Steve.
6:29 what’s that buzzer?! The only other car where I heard a similar noise
was the Audi R8 GT3 LMS.
Want to drive one of these soooooooo bad
I lost respect for Lotus when they were deciding what engines to fit. They
turned down BMW engines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also why does it take an American
to make a real Lotus? aka the Venom GT. I don’t like any of the current
cars styling. It’s slide rule engineering. That went out in the 70’s for
gods sake!
I saw one of those in California!
Could just be me, but are the pedals offset from the centre of the steering
column???
so why buy it over a 911 gt3 r or a viper gt3-r?
step 1 – google. step 2 – type
i dont like the fact that its supercharged

£63,000. That will help towards Lotus’ debt
If I won the lottery a Lotus Exige V6 Cup would be top of my list
And the winner is the new “Range Rover Sport”.
sounds good 🙂
Steve does great reviews, no fluff and lots of facts.
I saw a v6 cup at donington that had been slightly changed for racing
SI is > than Imperial agreed but speeds are still in MPH in the UK and this
is a UK car magazine. It isn’t hard to convert MPH to KPH.
Can you find one hour of one day when it’s not raining? “It’s a little
slippery”. Well of course it is with moss growing on the track!
A racing car faster than its road car variant? No way!
Steve, when you drive these things hard you look 10 years younger! 🙂
still prefer a sub 950kg exige S
Put the speed on kilometers. Who cares about mph! The weight is okay,
kilos. Thanks.
Why do race cars hav indicators or flashers as i would normally say
what’s the compressor for?
I know there are die hard manual box fans out there and I get it but I
would absolutely want that sequential gearbox in one of these. Road or
track.
You are right, I may had said on a wrong way. But I still would like
kilos+kph, in my opinion, those can deliver more precise data.
beautifull car
muy lindos los Lotus. Muy buen video.
The V6 Cup is the perfect Lotus
probably would if they existed.
just liked for the first 10 seconds of video…watching this guy just
talking always bores me. I just want to see the cars
Yes not an ‘ugly’ car but certainly not pretty. Blame it on the rose tinted
glasses leftover from the previous beautiful elise/exige.
