I am pleased to offer this 2014 Lotus Exige V6 Cup R race car. This car is Build #087. It is also very rare as it was fitted with a paddle shift sequential transmission from the factory ($35,000 option). Believed to be only 1 of 3 built with that trans. in 2014.
This Lotus was originally ordered in Bentley Arctic White but was soon professionally wrapped in British Racing Green. The interior features racing seats, racing harnesses and a roll cage.
The car has only been used for driver education and not raced. Also, never crashed and never in the grass. Expertly female driven primarily at Lime Rock Park in CT. The car was purchased in 2018 with only 124 test drive miles driven. It now shows approx. 3,500 carefully driven and maintained miles.
Car has been maintained by Mike George of Autoworks Unlimited of Torrington, CT.
Details:
The Exige V6 Cup R represents Lotus’s ultimate development of the 15+-year-old design. Offered as a track only version here in the US; this advanced Exige developed by Lotus Motorsport is a homologated FIA compliant race car out of the box. Offered in both manual transmission and Paddle Shift Sequential transmission versions, the Cup R features a weight reduction of about 150 pounds through the use of lighter materials where possible. Performance figures include a 0-60 time of 3.8 Seconds, a top speed of 170 mph, and a weight on the R model coming in at 2,293 pounds. More interesting is the fact that Lotus will now invite and support the Exige Cup R in the Lotus Cup USA series making the example a viable contender in an active race series an opportunity to sharpen any enthusiast’s interest in really getting use out of a rewarding and exhilarating track car.
How many were produced?:
Lotus does not publicly release exact year-by-year production breakdowns for specific niche track variants like the Exige V6 Cup R. However, it is estimated that only a very small, double-digit number (believed to be 90) of these race-only models were hand-built worldwide during its production run from 2013 to 2016.
