There's no way this thing takes 3.8 seconds to get to 60. 252 bhp and 1477 lbs... the 243 bhp Exige (weighing like 2000 lbs) does it in 3.9 seconds. I'd guess more like 3.2 to 3.5 seconds to 60.
If you think the subject car is a bad car, then either -A- You Own A Better Car or -B- There's Something Wrong With You. Those are the only two possibilities.

All they have done is tweek the engine management system. The 240R Exige was only twelve BHP under the current car. Where the Lotus 11/2 improves on the Exige is removing nearlly 300 KG of weight.
The 340R tips the scale at some 600 kilos. On a track it wouldnÂt make much difference if you were in a Porsche 911 Turbo or the latest Ferrari. Their ass is grass, and the 340R is a lawn mover
The Austin Metro was a horrible car, improving little in its looks through 20-odd years until its production, by then as the Rover 100, ceased in 1997. There was however a time when, bored with the daily grind, the devil himself visited the Austin works and went all Blue Peter on the little hatchback. He decided to eliminate the weight by making it all out of cereal packets and sticky backed plastic. Then he took out the weedy engine and dropped in a 410bhp V6 where the back seats should be. A bit of widening here and some aerodynamic accoutrements there and the 6R4 was born. A flared, snarling demon that the man downstairs is proud to call his own.

For a company that is always out of money, Lotus sure knows how to come up with an ever-less-practical Elise variant every ten minutes. Lotus is the new TVR, making their cars lighter, faster, and crazier, without a care in the world for profit margins. Tally ho, lads.
It's going to be a long season.
