Thanks Bibs!

Now that bottom one does look like an Exige 350 Roadster, have to admit...

[domguy]

Exige "GTE" style I reckon, wider body more power etc

[Kalli]

BIBS! FFS You've had 16 minutes to post up. Hurry up  

[StephVG]

Well done Bibs! Great coverage on Periscope. Made us feel like we were there

[CocoPops]

Well that was an anticlimax.

wooo another Exige.

[Kalli]

Summary for those who didn't manage to get on periscope because we're hard at work?  

[franjipane]

Can't watch the stream here, so it's an Exige of some sort?

[StephVG]

I'm hard at work but still watching 

The other new Lotus is.... wait for it... The Exige 350 Roadster!

[CocoPops]

Exige Sport 350

Evora 410

theme of lightness in speech, but overall it felt a bit flat. Half arsed clapping via stream, not sure if Bibs felt any passion in person as it were?

[Kalli]

Exige Sport 350 - the one that's already been announced? 

[franjipane]

I'm sure it'll be a cracking car, be nice to see something dramatically different at some point although it probably doesn't make much from a financial point of view right now.

[Kalli]

Someone fancy some photos up?

Yup. Just a reintroduction of the current line up and the fact that PSA Peugeot Citroen DS was finishing it's own media event at the same moment sure won't help getting mainstream media coverage. However having a bigger booth and more cars  should make the stand more accessible than last year for the passers by.

Great coverage Bibs, especially the Canapés ?

[The Pits]

I was thinking 'Roaster Sport 350, big deal', but the new Roadster is stunning, 1085kg with all the carbon bits is fantastic! The hardest part now would be choosing which Exige to go for.

[Kalli]

Ah. Ok yeah, not so excited now  

[NedaSay]

It looks like they fitted the Elise Cup 250 wing at the back of the Exige Sport 350 ... I'm not sure.

[quantum2000]

Quite like the wing, not so sure on the colour coded front access panel. Is that the one from the 360 CUP ?

[The Pits]

I love it, it reminds me of the Exige GT3 race car.

[Bibs]

We're rushing back to the airport now, Gonzo journalism at its finest. Will upload the press conference in HD when we land in Gatwick!

 

[LF1]

That roadster looks great, loving the rear wing. I am assuming that the 1085kg is with all the carbon options?

Of the 3 in the press release though, I can't help thinking the Elise is the best looking, even if it's the oldest.

[Colin G]

Was the Geneva display car yellow? Seems an odd choice with some of the other stunning colours the Exige now comes in. (Judging by the pic in the TLF story)
