Power is 450bhp at 7000rpm, and maximum torque is 332lb ft at 3500rpm.
bit of head maths says its about 900kg , stage 4 vxt will have more torque and lighter.

Got to be lighter than that, I would have thought 800 is more likely? I know its a 6 pot but its an alloy engine (?) and it has FA trim/doors/glass etc

Yes, because that's a 12-year old Vauxhall with a highly modified engine..
Pity its a single seater though..

The blurb says it is a giant killer, for that sort of cash (for essentially a one purpose toy car) you would expect those giants to be Mclarens, Paganis and other exotica.

It appears to be on the track version, unless you have a very short passenger..
For those that are baulking at the price, do you think they won't sell them all globally? Not bad for a track toy with a known badge (very important to some) that can (supposedly) mix it with the current raft of super / hyper cars?

Sorry you are correct Steve - the track version shown comes with a tonneu cover over the passenger area, which is removable..

Intro at FOS, but with the steeringwheel on the right side.
That's pretty weird.
Or a statement where most of these will be going.

I think the lotus designers may be spending too much time around Fezzas, because it looks very much like an F12 in places which isn't a bad thing.
I also think there may be a few people in Hethel on too much smack, because that pricing level is absurd.
