Exige Cup 430

Lotus has pulled the drapes off what it says is the “most extreme Exige ever conceived”.

Called the Exige Cup 430, the small Lotus gets the latest engine updates from its bigger brother, the Evora GT430.


That means the Toyota-sourced supercharged 3.5-litre V6 has had power and torque boosted to a mighty 316kW/440Nm.

There’s just one transmission option — a close ratio six-speed manual ‘box.

Weighing in at just 1056kg, the extreme Exige comes with supercar-bothering levels of performance.

Pricing for the Exige Cup 430 begins at £99,000 ($A170,000).

316Kw*1.36=429.27hp and 440Nm torque and only weighing 1056kg. 👍

Probably a perfect track day car. Too bad it is only available with a manual gearbox. Not for me though (I prefer a manual) but for others whom prefer a double clutch automatic.

It's a beautiful and impressive car, isn't it?

I wouldn't exactly say it's beautiful. I'll always love a Lotus, but for me personally the perfect trackday car remains this Lotus:
