I know they have been around a while but Ive never really paid much attention to these untill just now, I think they look quite nice! Bit like a VX220 'B' maybe



Z20LER with either 200 or 225bhp, 995kgs, used prices seem to be around 17-20k currently.

thoughts?

Dont really do it for me, Ive actually never seen one on the road that I can recall but in pictures it just doesnt do anything at all for me, doesnt look all that good imo not very special, styling wise id give it 4/10!VX220 looks nicer. might be nicer in the flesh though who knows.

Think its the front lights I dont like...looks like a hyundai coupe or something

Not keen on the wing mirrors either, they look like a design afterthought !!

Or the mesh........

Wheels...

Not my fave Lotus tbh.

Not bad for £17k. Rather that than a hot hatch

Exige is a hardcore track racer, this is supposed to be more of a GT, think base spec Cayman, Z4, 350Z etc

I wouldn't be surprised if its built on the same chassis as your VX Adam, they look very similar
