Lotus announces the Exige Cup 430 Type 25
Lotus has seemingly become addicted to producing special editions. The latest one is the Exige Cup 430 Type 25, which involves some cosmetic changes and a rather hefty price tag.
As might be guessed from its name, this particular Exige Cup 430 is inspired by the Type 25 Formula One car that achieved numerous successes during the 1960s.
Accordingly, the specification features Lotus Racing Green metallic paintwork with yellow stripes (although if such a scheme doesn’t appeal, then an Old English White finish with green highlights is the alternative). Side-skirt extensions and some unique decals complete the exterior alterations.
Inside the Type 25, a wooden gear knob is fitted, various trim elements are body-coloured and the black Alcantara upholstery gains contrasting stripes and stitching. An enhanced standard equipment list includes carpets, floor mats, air conditioning, cruise control and an audio system.
There are no mechanical upgrades so, like a regular Exige Cup 430, power is provided by a supercharged 3.5 litre V6 engine. Thanks to 430 bhp (320 kW / 436 PS) plus 440 Nm (325 lb/ft) of peak torque, performance is very impressive. The 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes just 3.3 seconds, for instance.
Fittingly, twenty-five examples of the Type 25 are going to be built. Exclusivity is assured then, but incredibly the outlay required is a six-figure sum – £110,000, to be exact.
