There can"t be much to do in Hethel. Other than design new special edition Lotuses. We should all chip in and get them a bowling alley or something because let"s be honest, this is getting a bit silly. And yet, here we have the Exige Cup 430 Type 25 a homage to the Type 25 F1 car that gave Lotus its first Drivers" and Constructors" Championships way back in 1963. So you get a unique livery" in either Lotus Racing Green or Old English White with contrast pinstriping, special decals, bespoke carbon-fibre bargeboards and so-on. Inside you get Alcantara-shod carbon race seats, a special plaque and wooden gear knob. Mechanically speaking, it"s the same as the Exige 430. Same 3.5-litre V6, 3.2 second 0-60mph time and 180mph top speed. Same clever suspension, serious aero and fantastically nerdy open-gated six-speed manual transmission. You can read all about those things in our review.
