Autoblog says "The men and women who reserved a Lotus Evija will have the opportunity to configure their 2,000-horsepower electric car without getting off their couch. Several aspects of the coupe are customizable, so the company created a digital, touchscreen-based configurator to let clients design their car without leaving their home."

Am I the only one thinking, "so what!" I can go to the Ford or Tesla websites and do this for almost any vehicle. The fact that the car can be viewed in virtual landscapes is not a big deal.

Porshe Cayman GTS VS Lotus Cup430 VS Audi RS5 is a more conventional race: ¼ mile straightaway.

The Lotus cost is approximately the same price as the Audi and Porche combined, but can it pull through to achieve victory?

I'm not sure how an SUV plays into the Lotus concept of "adding lightness" to a sporty car, but the rumors seem to becoming reality. It shall be interesting to see where this goes.

Lotus Cars has today unveiled the Exige Cup 430 – a car it describes as the most extreme Lotus Exige model variant ever conceived.

Sitting midship in the Exige Cup 430 is Lotus’ Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine, which is making a stout 430 horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque in this application. It’s connected to a six-speed manual transmission (with an achingly cool exposed linkage) sending power to the rear wheels. Lotus claims it will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and go on to reach a top speed of 180 mph.

I recently got some advice from a non-Lotus "car guy" suggesting that I increase the stiffness on my rear shocks. This was blind advice as he's never seen the car, but I am wondering if it has any real validity. My shocks have 24 points of stiffness adjustment. I don't feel that they make a huge impact, but they are set on the softest setting.

My issue is front wheel grip while accelerating. I am currently running Dz101's (horrible mistake) up front on the Exige with the stock splitter. My initial thought is that the tires need to be replaced, but also assume that won't solve the problem. What would? A larger splitter? Canards?
