Lotus Exige 360 Cup: Another Small-Batch Lotus - Car and Driver (blog)
The last bit is further evidence of Lotus’s new marketing strategy: to sell very small series of slightly different models. That said, 50 is still a measurable slice of the English sports car maker’s modest annual sales, which will probably be about 2000 cars this year. The changes that make the Cup 360 are modest. We’re also told it has a “bespoke lightweight front access panel, [and] new lightweight rear tailgate and louvered pane,” although Lotus’s official, 2492-pound curb weight is actually fractionally higher than the one previously claimed for the Cup... Which is good news in the U. S. as the Exige (and its Elise sister) are no longer Federally approved for road use. Source: blog.caranddriver.com
