COM Sports Car Club

Lotus Sport, the motor sport division of Lotus Cars Ltd., developed two higher performance versions of the 2006 Model Year Lotus Exige, the Lotus Exige Cup and the Lotus Exige Cup 240, both developed for track use straight out of the box.
The Lotus Exige Cup cars are based on the new 2006 Model Year Exige and are completely track ready sports coupes with uprated clutch, sports exhaust, adjustable suspension, uprated brakes, limited slip differential, switchable traction control, a T45 steel roll-over hoop and A-Frame with harness mounts, fuel and ignition kill switches and a fully plumbed in fire extinguisher system. An FIA approved 6 point roll cage is a no cost option.
The Cup 240 uses a supercharged and intercooled high revving 1.8 litre four cylinder engine producing 243hp (181 kw). This vast amount of extra power and torque mean that the cam change between the low and high speed now takes place at around 4000 rpm, giving a smooth and linear surge of power from 4000 rpm all the way to the maximum 8300 rpm. The Roots-type Eaton M62 supercharger is run from the crankshaft, and has an integral bypass valve for part load operation.

Price $49,900

Congrats Bruce. Any idea if the new owner is local and will join any COM events? - Paul G.

a newbie from Long Island. apparently never been on track. He was looking into Palmer's last school day. Through my broker I suggested COM, but we have no more events this year.

You at least left a COM flyer in the glove box right?

... and my lap videos of this year on my Garmin Catalyst

Glad you were able to sell it! Solid deal. I was seriously considering it but then I thought about what the conversation would have looked like with my wife LOL.

You are missed, Bruce. I valued your direction as my very first COM instructor.

Cheers!

very difficult to convert to street. Factory cage, suspension, brakes, no cat, etc.
