The Lotus has unveiled its 2016 Lotus 360 Cup. They take a standard Lotus Exige S V6, slap on a free flowing exhaust system, add on a few lightweight pieces and call it a day. But when it comes to something this light (2491 pounds to be exact) that extra 10 HP and bit of lightness goes a long way.
 
 
Power comes from the familiar supercharged 3.5-liter V-6, rated here at 355 hp. The increase was made possible by high-flow intake and exhaust systems as well as a retune of the ECU. Lotus says the modifications also give the Exige 360 Cup a sportier soundtrack.
 
 
The Exige 360 Cup bespoke styling signals an evolution in design, with an option of four colours (Metallic White, Metallic Grey, Metallic Black and Metallic Silver) and stealth matt black roof, front access panel and louvered tailgate. This design is a limited edition run of 50 vehicles and each of these special Exige 360 Cup cars will receive a numbered Lotus Motorsport build plate.
 


This new model boasts an increase in power of 10 PS with freer flowing induction and a sports exhaust system, which combined with a low vehicle weight of 1130 kg gives an incredibly pure driving experience on road and track. The powertrain updates also give the Exige 360 Cup a sportier soundtrack to enhance the driving experience.
 
 
Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of Group Lotus plc, commented: “The V6 Cup was a favourite amongst many knowledgeable customers with its incredible track performance and distinctive design. I am excited about the introduction of the new 360 Cup which moves the game forward with striking new design features and performance upgrades that offer phenomenal ability on road and track.”
 


For the chassis setup, double wishbone suspension is used at all four corners and features two-way adjustable dampers. The car is also fitted with a dynamics mode selector that allows the driver to switch between four modes: Drive, Sport, Race and Off. The system also incorporates a launch control feature.

Other modifications include a new front splitter, rear diffuser and wing. Together with the flat underside, these aerodynamic aids add close to 100 lbs of downforce at speeds of 100 mph.
 
 
New features for the Exige 360 Cup include a bespoke lightweight front access panel, new lightweight rear tailgate and louvered panel. The Exige 360 Cup has a distinctive design, updated grooved brake discs for improved performance, Motorsport Red wheels, embroidered seats and dash panel.
 


The options available for the Exige 360 Cup include a new red Alcantara interior, adjustable anti-roll bars, Öhlins race dampers, fire extinguisher and electrical cut-off, FIA carbon seats, air conditioning and removable steering wheel.
