Building on the popularity and success of the Exige V6 Cup, Lotus is introducing the Exige 360 Cup, limited to just 50 cars.

Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of Group Lotus plc, remarked, "The V6 Cup was a favourite amongst many knowledgeable customers with its incredible track performance and distinctive design. I am excited about the introduction of the new 360 Cup which moves the game forward with striking new design features and performance upgrades that offer phenomenal ability on road and track."

This new model boasts an increase in power of 10bhp with freer flowing induction and a sports exhaust system, which combined with a low vehicle weight of 1,130kg gives an incredibly pure driving experience on road and track.

On the outside, the Exige 360 Cup has new features including a bespoke lightweight front access panel, new lightweight rear tailgate and louvered panel. The Exige 360 Cup also has updated grooved brake discs for improved performance, Motorsport Red wheels, embroidered seats and dash panel.

The car is also sure to turn heads with its distinctive styling, with an option of four colours (Metallic White, Metallic Grey, Metallic Black and Metallic Silver) and stealth matt black roof, front access panel and louvered tailgate. Each of these special Exige 360 Cup cars will also receive a numbered Lotus Motorsport build plate.
