There’s a new Lotus promotion at the moment, which correctly points out that “Owning a Lotus is unlike anything you will have done before”. Apart from some noted issues with the earlier models, you’re buying into one of the most fun, focussed driving experiences around. You sit low slung in the car, so even if you purchase the slowest model available, it’ll still feel like you’re going fast.
The Fun… Adrenaline… Sophistication… promotion is in fact a quiz, to see which kind of Lotus driver you are. It could have been more interactive (you have to even ad up your own answers!), but whichever your choices, it opens up a special offer. Mine happened to be mostly A’s, which is the ‘Adrenaline’ offer. Here it is:
The Lotus Exige S is one of the most extreme Lotus cars on the market today. It is a real sports car with a true racing heritage.
The Exige S is not just a track day enthusiast’s car, but a sublime sports car that’s equally at home on the backroads, motorways and autobahns as it is on race tracks. What does the acceleration feel like in a Lotus Exige S? A truly exhilarating experience that you can only get from such a finely-honed sports car, sprinting to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
Purchase and register your new Lotus Exige S before 31 May 2009 and you will receive a free performance pack worth £2936. The performance pack increases the vehicle’s power from 220 hp to 239 hp. It comes with 308 mm front discs and AP racing four piston calipers, uprated brake pads and hoses, variable traction control and a full length Lotus sport roof scoop.
