Thread: Tokyo Preview: Lotus to Unveil Matte-Black Exige Scura

flat black is out. lame... They are what, a couple years late now.

After owning 3 black cars in a row from 87-95 and fighting endless battles to keep them clean, I made a promise to myself years ago that I would never allow myself to buy another black sports car. No matter what. Ever. But now... Oh, man. That thing is hot! And it somehow makes the ugly new Exige wing work.

Interesting - it incorporates the new front-end styling , but check out the new wheels!

Breath taking.

Contrary to popular reports (our own included) there will be at least one foreign automaker at the Tokyo Auto Show. Lotus has announced its attendance and the British sports car company will unveil what it calls the Exige Scura, a special edition vehicle along the lines of the Exige S 260. With 260 PS (257hp) the Scura gets a pumped-up version of the supercharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder motor from the Exige S and is capable of hitting 60 mph...

So basically it's an Exige Sport 260 in matte black, right?

Nope - missing the carbon fiber roof, hatch, access panels - doesn't say anything about rear subframe differences, lsd or accusump. No carbon fiber dash, sills and I am going to guess it has a rear window still. Also - don't wash the car - the paint is only has a 1 year warranty.
