Introducing the Lotus Exige Cup 430

Offering 15% more power than the limited production Exige 380 model that is succeeds and a huge 220kg of downforce, the new Lotus Exige Cup 430 is a monster of a car. Towering over its predecessor, the Exige 430 offers 24% more power and generates the same downforce at 100mph as the Exige Sport does at a maximum speed of 170mph. Lotus’ penchant for lightweight design has played a key part in reducing the overall dry weight by 12kg.

Combined with a jumper in raw power, this raises the Cup’s power to weight from 355/hp tonne to 407/hp tonne. With 430 hp at 7,000rp and 440 Nm (325 lbft) of torque from 4,000rpm, 0-60mph is dispatched in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 180mph. Both enhancing and harnessing that wealth of power, this car benefits from a range of new aero elements. This intense use of ultra-lightweight carbon fibre only enhances the overall performance, as well as reinforcing the Exige Cup 430’s striking presence. The handmade composite components include front-splitter front access panel, roof, diffuser surround, large aperture air-intake side pods, one-piece tailgate and the race derived rear wing.

You don’t have to look too closely to see the Cup’s motorsport-derived credentials. Along with revised steering arm geometry, to increase bump steer, the car’s handling characteristics can be altered through the introduction of new Nitron three-way adjustable dampers and Eibach adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars, both as standard.

The substantial Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres are fitted to ultra-lightweight forged alloy wheels available in red, black or silver as standard. Of course, with fast cars you need exceptionally high-quality brakes and the Exige Cup 430 uses some of the largest calipers and rotors of any Lotus road car.
