It’s brutal, loud, there’s no A/C/power steering/ower brakes, it’s insanely fast, grips like crazy, feels perfect to drive , and nearly gave me heatstroke. And it’s for sale!!!! So, ask me anything.

Ass first. Get your butt in the seat, then fold your legs into positions you thought they could never get into to get them past the cage.

Why are you selling it? What’s wrong with it? Does this one have the cup holder?

That looks well modified. can’t tell if thats a sequential gear box or if they just removed the shifter cover.

Its my former boss’ car, and he hasn’t used the car for quite a while so there’s no point in him keeping it. Nothing wrong with it, it has not a single cup holder.

Well, they stopped the sale of street cars in 2011. This is a cup car, sold new by Lotus Cars US

Was curious to see how much shorter the overall height was than my RX-8. 7". Geez.
"Dsscats" (dsscats)
07/05/2017 at 20:29, STARS: 0
Its really low height wise, but there driving compartment has plenty of legroom, so I guess it depends on where your height is.

So if it’s a cup car is it street legal?

I also assume the owner is asking premium dollar for the car as its both a rare color combo and a rare car, even for Lotus (at least US legal Lotus).

Because of the lighting on the inside shot, I though the roll cage was going in between the drivers legs. Then I realized the sill is just that big! How is it getting in and out / sitting in it?

Asking $79,995, not a premium at all, that’s the low end of the Exige Cup market here
