Yes it is, we have the other one, the Metallic Blue PR car

Will do my best to hide it away for you Mes, I have never been great at selling the cars I like as I always want to keep them so you might be in with a chance Yes the exhaust will give 400 and Sport 380 owners the opportunity to enjoy the cars as intended, which is of course on a track! Our design with offer twin straight pipes as your rightly guess. We will hopefully have some pictures in the next couple of weeks to show. The Lotus Titanium exhaust will be different to our system, we have decided to try and make it quieter than the standard exhaust, their system actually makes it louder! I bet the Lotus system will sound incredible but unfortunately you will not be able to go on track with it.

As we are also talking about exhausts we will be offering a track friendly Evora 400 exhaust system by the end of next month for those potentially interested @CocoPops @Bravo73 @Seriouslylotus We will be offering a Titanium System with Carbon Tips that will not only reduce weight by 12KG but will be eligible for 105DB days. This system has been developed & designed by Quicksilver Exhausts only for Bell and Colvill and will be retailed for £1,500 inc VAT. If anybody is interested or wishes to order one please get in touch with our Lotus Parts Manager Chris Stewart on 01483 286459 or via cstewart@bellandcolvill.com @MesTCS Thanks........much appreciated

Haha sorry @C8RKH :-) Yes it is a stunning combo and looks better for not being broken up with the Matte Black Accents, I wanted the car full body coloured. I have some good news in regards the exhaust....The Cup 360 comes with the Lotus sports exhaust which many will recognise as the Sports exhaust that came with the N/A Evora, the Janspeed twin pipe rear box with the blue flame tip, we remove the standard box at this end replace with this.....Saying that I'm also a big fan of the 2Bular exhausts, beautifully made and sound fantastic!! If you ever fancy swinging by for a Coffee and a chat I would be very pleased to show you our Cup 360

Hi Dave, Interesting thread and it is a tough call between the 2 and you raise very valid points, as a bit of background and my general thoughts, we had 2 Cup 360's made in Essex Blue and sold one of the cars just before Christmas and have one remaining. The Sport 380 is obviously very nice and a step forward over the Sport 350 but is £68,500 without OTR costs or any options Like paint or A/C etc.. by the time you have ticked a couple of must have options and with the OTR costs you are getting towards the mid £70's for the Sport 380, whereas with our Cup 360 with all of its spec is £68k On the Road. I would wager that the Ohlins on our Cup 360 would provide more time in a lap than the extra 20PS of a Sport 380 on tuned Bilsteins. Lotus tell me that Ohlins are generally worth a second a lap at Hethel over Nitrons and the Nitrons are worth a couple of seconds over the Bilsteins......I don't know how true this is but it is what I have been told by Motorsport. There is a potential weight difference between the 2 as the Cup 360 is 1,130KG and you can get a Sport 380 to 1,100KG but need the full Carbon Exterior and Interior + the Titanium Exhaust which then adds another £10k+ to the bill so it becomes a mid £80's car, if you don't have these options then the weight is approx. the same between the cars. It is an interesting question and there are certainly arguments for both.............I'm glad to say though at the end of the day both are very special.

There was only one timed run unfortunately and yes you guessed it, it was the one in which David spun in the Video above and clocked a 71.51. He was very annoyed as he was pretty confident he would win it.......Oh well. BTW he is now know as David Spinnard :-)

Well I did speak with him yesterday and I did dial a 01953 number

Great, look forward to seeing you Jonny

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! There are a couple of spare spaces still for those that are interested

Hi Paul, The price is per car and you are welcome to share the driving but there would be an additional £16.50 charge for the other person at Goodwood to cover their lunch and coffee. There is no additional charge for Brands Hatch. Thanks, Jamie

Great stuff Bibs, look forward to seeing you there It is on the Indy Circuit Trevor.
