[By420 Final Edition]

Lovely car, lovely colour. For me it has one big let down and I can't understand why Lotus do it on the 410s, 420s etc. The roof. You have that lovely carbon engine cover and front access panel and then they put a matt black roof to spoil the look. Colour coordinated roof would look much better and a carbon roof better still. Just my personal opinion. Lovely car though.

The throttle response is much sharper on race mode on my car. Makes blipping the throttle on down changes much sweeter. Acceleration seems more urgent and of course it sounds fantastic. 

[Exige Final editions]

Lovely looking car. Great colour. Remember you can always take the roof off if you need to.

Great post Bispal. Interesting comparison between the 430 Cup and McLaren.

Lotus made and sold 3,350 cars in total from 2017-2021 when the 430CUP was available. So any Lotus is rare as they have only averaged about 650 cars a year for the past decade.  Usually the UK market share for sports cars is 10% of global, that works roughly for every manufacturer. However USA and many other markets did not get the 430CUP, or any Exige. There were around 50 sold in the UK so 150 world wide sounds about the right number including Europe, Australia and some far east markets? 

3350 units over that period of time is not many at all. No wonder I rarely see a Lotus.

Good effort on the weight saving. I love the colour.

I've always liked your car  ^^^^^^^^^^^^ with its silver wheels and no black pack. Lovely 👍

Cheers duncx. That is exactly why I wanted it. I like silver wheels and the body coloured panels. I would like a 430 Cup but I love mine.

[Bought a 430 Cup]

I would say back to the dealer ASAP.

[Cup 430 Club]

Well I think it's been sold but not to me if it has. I appreciate the comments and I'm sure you re correct Mitch.

I'm also with LV, 5,000 miles a year, no track days, premium £165.94 annual 😁

Good effort. Mine is on a second policy that hasn't reached full no claims bonus yet. Nice to see it will get even cheaper though. 😁

[Put a deposit down for a FE but ...]

Regarding insurance I'm with LV. I pay £186.46p for 3000 miles per annum. No track days. 

[Anyone received their 390 Final Edition yet?]

That is a serious cock up for someone to have had. I wouldn't know how I would react to be honest. 

[Cup 430 Club]

I don't know barabba. I thought all order books for the Exige were closed a while ago.

[Cup 430 Club]

The difficulty is that it is more than twice the price of my car and I love my car. However I would like a 430 Cup and the chance of having a new one will never come again. I'm going to have to do some serious thinking. It is the 1st new 430 Cup that I've seen for sale that I really like.

[Cup 430 Club]

One of the last 430 Cup cars has just come for sale at Bell and Colvill. Brand new car that pays homage to film The Spy Who Loved Me. That aside its a really good looking car imo. Is the difference between the 350 Sport and 430 Cup worth the price hike. Genuine question for you 430 Cup owners. 

[Need your opinions please (colour choice)]

Both cars look great imo.

[Yipeeeee]

Congratulations. I feel your excitement every time I take my Exige out for a drive. Lovely colour in Laser blue as well. 

[Type 132]

I think it's main competition is going to be the Urus and possibly the Cayenne. The 1000hp worries me. I think the price will be way above the other two.

[New 350 Sport Owner - A Few Questions]

I have a 350 Sport on a 69 plate with 3650 miles. No gravelly noise or clutch rattle on my car. Sorry I can't be of any help other than that.

[Bought a 430 Cup]

Congratulations. Don't forget to post up some pictures. 

[Bought a 430 Cup]

Which 430 Cup have you been to see. Is it the one you are buying or are you still looking. 

[Cup 430 Club]

Lovely car Cemil. It's nice that you feel lucky to have the vehicle. Enjoy and keep us updated as to your experience owning it.

Hi Everyone'

I am going to drive my Exige Cup 430 for the first time tomorrow in Munich.

How long will the break-in period takes, in everyone's experiences? 1000-1500 kilometers?

How exciting for you Cecil. Post some pictures when you get the car. Enjoy and congratulations.

Great for us lot that so few were ordered.
I find it amazing how little coverage Lotus (and therefore the media) gave it, for such a special car. 

I've been out in my 350 Sport today and it feels super quick to me. The 430 Cup must be epic. I suppose my car feels quick because my daily driver is a 1200cc Skoda. I do think that the 430 Cup will be the Lotus car that will have almost iconic status in the next 5+ years or so. The auto Emira will only inflate this status as it becomes more popular amongst Lotus cars and the manual V6 becomes rarer.
