How about a carbon-fibre bodied Exige with a turbo-charged V6?

That's the JUBU one! Nice! 

[Kristof Thys]

Realised not all pics are linked; so for good measure:

 

 

Looks good.

Had the pleasure of seeing the car and chatting to Martin @Jubu a few weeks ago...awesome bit of kit!

[EldonZ]

@WootsWhat did you think about it? Good and Bad.

Thanks,
Eldon

I want @Jack to buy it so I can drive it!

Dropping 150kg is quite an achievement - apart from the increased engine output. But a DCT gearbox in that is going to need a lot of cooling.

I like the wing mirror design - to get a better view over the rear haunches.

Thanks for posting this.

In your dreams as well as mine,  my friend.

not bad if you compare to porsche supercup laptime.

damnnnn thats hot

Ok I need 249 000 euros. Can someone help me ?

Just watched the video....did anyone else notice the OIL alarm, presumably oil pressure.

It must have  come on at least 10 times during that lap, could be an oil surge issue or perhaps the threshold for the alarm is set too low??

If interested, your can catch the OIL alarm at 31, 35, 49, 1:06, 1:16; 1:27 (and more times) during the video.

Curious to see, as I believe that car is running a dry sump oiling system.

In the video comment : "Tyre and reliability test of 2020 JUBU Race-Car (with a little glitch of one oil-pressure-sensor)"

[Jack]

Nicolas, it's definitely a glitch....hope it's a sensor and not the oiling system.   

Do you know if that car is running a sequential vs the Jubu dual-clutch setup?

It could be my audio perception, but it sounded like the car was running straight-cut gears??

[geartox]

I don't know. Jubu will be with the Club Lotus France and RaceTrack days in south of France in 3 weeks. I don't know if the car will be here, (at least the 410 DCT will be) if yes I will ask 🙂

In the first post article :
A specially-designed seven-speed dual-clutch transmission offers the best of both worlds between an automatic and a sequential box. "This was one of our greatest achievements during the project. Our DCT is really easy to handle and can compete with any sequential gearbox on track - but if you want to relax, you can just switch from manual in automatic mode and chill," says Jung

But I agree it sounds definitely much faster than their DCT we saw in other videos before, which seems to have some response lag...

Pricing starts at 249,000 euros (around $292,000) for the ZEROtrack and can reach up to 650,000 euros (around $762,000) for the Zerostreet model.

Surprisingly the announced road-legal version is the most (and by far) expensive one.
Any reason why ?

[EldonZ]

@MartrackI would have to speculate that the increase in cost is getting the car to past Federal road regulations.

Later,
Eldon

[Jack]

No Eldon, it's all the "luxury" car and interior goodies (you know.... air conditioned and massaging seats, navigation w/ deluxe sound system, cruise control etc) and an extra 130 HP.

I didn't get the time to test the Exige 500 DCT from Jubu. But few photos of the Zero

I just read that the Race version comes in 2 versions, with a 6 speeds sequential or with a 7 speeds dual clutch gearbox.
Fore sure the one from the presentation video above in this thread runs the sequential one... At least it sounds like
