Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III

The Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III reaches 60 mph in 3.38 s (100 km/h in 3.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.85 s, tripping the lights at 115.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s and the eighth mile in 7.58 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.64 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Exige Cup 380 Mk III

The 2017 Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,109 kg with 375 bhp, which works out at 339 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 339 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 538th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 7th quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. Its 115.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III 0-60 time?
The Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III reaches 60 mph in 3.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 538th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III quarter mile time?
11.85 s at 115.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III have?
375 bhp and 1,109 kg, which is 339 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 (3.40 s), Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (3.44 s), Shelby Series 1 S/C (3.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
