Sport Auto have just timed the Lotus Exige Cup 380 around the Nordschleife at 7.48.13 - not really that impressive when you consider the following:
1. The current circuit improvements are said to make the times 1-2 seconds faster. 2. The Exige is 300kg lighter. 3. The Exige has 25bhp more power and 56lb ft more torque. 4. The Exige has more downforce (200kg at it's 175mph top speed). CSL is STILL right up there ![]() ![]()

I wonder how much of that is down to tyres?

The Exige runs the lastest iteration of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s, so not sure

Yes ,
CSL rules! A true legend ! 2003 15 years ago, a 7.50 per lap is still amazing. Car drive and handle very well. I Love my CSL , Can‘t Wait for Summer 2018. |

Nice post Mike.
Makes you wanting to ask Sport Auto to test again your CSL which has suspension, anti roll bars, brakes and new tyres ![]() I reckon 7:40... |
