HyperSport Engineering is building an Exige for the SCCA Pro Speed World Challenge GT Series. They kindly let the Lotus Club tour their facility and take a few pics.

Here are some pics of the car in question:

Rich, don't you know this is the wrong section?

Awesome pics though. I think I saw you on 316 a couple of weeks ago? You ever let a female drive the car? Later, QD.

Yeah, after I posted I realized it was the wrong section. You can move.

That one is an IMSA Lite. Not an ALMS LMP car.

I hope the Lotus does well although it is a new car and will need to be developed and sorted.
and just because it has motons and motec doesnt mean it will be competitive, every car out there has the same if not better.
Turbo cars have historically not done the best in World Challenge. For that car to make the power to be competitive it will need a good amount of boost that will come in smooth enough to be able to control it through the corners.

That makes sense. I asked because it had the American LeMans logo on the nose.
