@@norcalprojects I did a few times, but the hardtop is a 2-person job to take off and doesn’t fit anywhere in the car. In California you can just leave it at home. In Scotland, we get 4 seasons in a single day, so it’s not ideal to leave without a roof. You can fit the soft-top clips from the Roadster version that fit the same soft-top as the Elise which can roll up pretty tight and fit in the boot, but I kept the original hardtop on the Exige for chassis stiffness and bought an old Boxster instead

Another fantastic lotus vid Jay, thank you. Off the back of your earlier lotus videos I finally took the plunge on a 390 Final Edition a few weeks ago. What a fantastic car and IMHO 397bhp is more than enough power to safely make good progress on road but I wouldn't criticise those who want more! The 390 is the very best of both worlds with all the 410 drivetrain and cooling enhancements but retaining the road suspension balance from the 350. As a former Porsche 718 Cayman GTS owner a few things strike me: - the Exige driving experience is much more engaging and thrilling - Lotus ownership is much more enjoyable and interesting: much more positive attention and genuine interest from all walks of life, and genuinely nice and involving owners club and forum members - the dealers are very obviously disengaged from their heritage models

Regarding the silent indicators, the instrument pack doesn't make the clicking noise. For some reason Lotus decided to fit a silent flasher relay made by Perei to the Elise S3 and Exige V6 up to around 2017 when they changed to the open shifter on both cars. It's a £10 5 minute fix. I did it on my Elise S3.

The longer you own an Elise or Exige, the more likely you are to tweak it-it's like an addiction. 19 years and counting for me. James, you need one.

Having owned a 390 Final Edition for over 2 years now I can say they are the best bang for buck driver's car you can possibly buy with close to 400HP from factory. The sensation of speed and drama of driving the thing is really hard to match by anything else in even close to the same price bracket. Just putting in a less restrictive air intake goes a long way to getting that 460 number without the additional cost. Its a car that will teach you how to drive properly! It'll also outlast most of the competition due to just how simple and easy it is to work on.

I agree 100% Luey, its a blast to drive.

For what it’s worth I’m 65 yrs old and still fit enough to drive fast cars… my point is 1 i always have to chuckle to myself when seeing people struggling just to get into the drivers seat, 2nd point about gear lever getting in the way of leg. Now I know I’m nit picking, but not only am I 65yrs old but weight 50kilos, approx 8stone and 5ft 1inch … I promise you all getting in and out of any car is not an issue, equally gear lever driving position is therefore likely to be compromised is your your larger gent/ lady imo… just saying so don’t shoot me. 🤷🏻‍♂️😎

Great video James and well done to Vlad 👍🏻 I had a 350 and priced up all the KT work and concluded near £80k so instead bought a used 430CUP on premise it would be more cost effective, and it was. I have driven KT cars and they are fantastic. The biggest difference between the 350 and 430 is the suspension sophistication. I think a 350 Roadster with 3 way nitrons would be excellent. The 430CUP was also a lot better finished, I think they spent more time on it to justify the price point. The exige does have its flaws, one too many for me, but that's what gives them character. Finding the sweet spot somewhere between an exige V6 and a 718/981 spyder is my goal, not found it yet.....

So, I was watching this a listening to the history bit and it jogged a long forgotten memory. I remember reading about an experiment chassis that lotus developed in the early 2000’s that had the front of a s2 Elise and then a custom rear subframe, it was developed for Hennessy I believe to build there car but this was not stated in the magazine article. It was engineered o fit multiple different engine configurations. Was that chassis involved in the development of the Eovra, or have you not come across it in your research? Keep making great content and more on the GT4 would be greatly appreciated from a st185 previous owner. Thank you.

I almost ended up buying a special JPS version 5 years ago, but the seller wanted almost CHF 80k which was too much in my opinion so I ended up buying a 996.2 GT3. I don‘t care which one is faster because they both give you a wonderful feeling of speed. Maybe the Porsche is a bit more practical but for sure the GT3 is better from a financial point because prices are very stable. However both of them will be remembered in tears, when everybody is driving electrical….

You really need to drive an S1 Exige. It's FAR more different to a standard S1 Elise than an S2 Exige is to an S2 Elise. An S2 Exige is little more than a 111R with a hardtop, then they later bolted a supercharger onto the Exige (then later on, the Elise too). The S1 Exige was basically a "stradale" version of the Motorsport Elise race car, thereas the S2 Exige was a genuine production car. Harder to own as a lot of the minor "Exige" bits on the S1(bracketry etc) are very much race car parts so they rust etc.... but they're very very much more special than an Elise. I've got both and I'd part with neither.

Exige S3 is still in my bucket list of dream car. My perfect one would be a Cup 430 in Toxic Green, Liquid Orange your friend's old Exige Cup 430 or Liquid Yellow like the one you reviewed in 2018(? 2017? I forgot). Up until last year I've never even seen any Exige S3 since Lotus failed to sell any meaningful numbers of cars in Indonesia, but then someone I knew brought his Cup 430 Final Edition and my goodness it is one hell of a looker, even if it was in a rather subdued spec of Elise Grey. If only I can import one secondhand easily...

I dont quite see it. Seem like a sub optimized car. A lighter more optimized na engine with more care put into lightening the car and better suspension. 280-300 hp from an carefully tuned high revving v6 seem optimal for a 1000kg car.

If all the people that complain about the change of direction Lotus has made would have also bought a Elise or Exige etc the company would have been one of the most successful in the history of the automotive world and wouldn’t need to be saved by the Chinese and change in to a Ev focused brand. Same story with Lancia, Alfa Romeo etc. Always people complain about how everything used to be so much better but never do they buy the cars. If you are so concerned with a brand then buy their products instead of just nag nag nag about the past and the future without doing anything.

This is the car the Supra should have been. It would have been all Toyota instead of having a BMW transplant. Unlike any BMW, reliability and low maintenance cost would be assured. The big bonus is the Exige is significantly faster than any Supra.

This is not what a Supra should be. In fact, current Supra is not how Supra should be, if anything Toyota should have asked BMW for the 4-series platform instead to create a proper 4-seater long-legged 6-cylinder GT that a Supra has always been. This is why the new M4 is the actual modern Supra.

@@AntoniusTyas Cloning the M4 would have been a worse mistake. Toyota decided on a 2 seater and call it a Supra instead of MR2 so once that decision was made, the car could easily have been designed with existing in-house components.
