Lotus Sport Exige '05
Lotus Sport, the performance division of Lotus Cars created the Lotus Sport Exige, a direct motorsport derivative of the successful Lotus Exige. The Lotus designed and engineered racecar was part manufactured by RTN, the team responsible for the Le Mans winning Bentley, using the latest motorsport techniques and procedures to produce a lightweight yet strong carbon-fibre bodywork structure around the standard road-going Lotus Exige Aluminium extruded and bonded chassis.
The Lotus Sport designed fully adjustable suspension system with double wishbones all round was fabricated and manufactured by Pilbeam. Power is provided by a 400 hp Swindon Racing Engines tuned GM 3 litre V6 racing engine linked to a Hewland sequential six-speed gearbox, with AP-Racing providing the braking system.
This one-off racecar has been built for a South East Asian client and is expected to race in selected sportscar races in Asia. There are no plans as yet to build further examples of the Lotus Sport Exige but the base structure has been carefully designed to comply with key motorsport regulations around the world. Adhering to the key Lotus philosophy of performance through lightweight, the Lotus Sport Exige weighs in at just 850kg.
As the Lotus Sport Exige is, at present, a one-off racecar, a price cannot be given for the racecar package.

Oh, and you do have a car post, a very mediocre one.

Pagani Zonda R '09
The Pagani Zonda is a supercar built by the Italian manufacturer Pagani. It debuted in 1999, and production ended in 2011. By June 2009, 135 Zondas had been built, including development mules. Both 2-door coupé and roadster versions have been produced. Construction is mainly of carbon fiber.
Some of the early Zonda engineering was done by Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio. The car was originally to be named the "Fangio F1" after him, but, following his death in 1995, it was renamed for the Zonda wind, a regional term for an air current above Argentina.
Before the replacement of the Zonda arrived, Pagani has revealed the Zonda R, Although still based on the Zonda design, the track-day special already incorporated many elements of the upcoming Huayra. The original example was commissioned by an Italian-American customer, who already owned three 'regular' Zondas. It would become the first of at least fifteen Zonda Rs built.
What was carried over from the previous versions was the beautiful carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. For this purpose, it was equipped with a chrome-moly, tubular roll-cage. On both ends of the central monocoque, aluminium subframes were fitted on which the suspension was mounted. This consisted of double wishbones on all four corners with rocker-actuated coil springs over dampers. Carbon-ceramic discs provided the stopping power for the high performance machine.
Engine partner AMG-Mercedes provided a competition-bred V12 that was previously used in the CLK-GTR competition car. Displacing just under six litre, it produced around 750 hp and 710 Nm of torque. Despite these performance figures, it could run for 5,000 at race pace before requiring service. An absolute work of art was the ceramic-coated, Inconel 625 exhaust system. Like the other Zondas, the 'R' featured four exhaust pipes placed in a square at the heart of the rear-end.
Another novelty was the transversely mounted gearbox supplied by British specialists XTrac. Sporting six forward gears, the sequential gearbox was operated through paddles behind the steering wheel. This was a break with tradition and philosophy for Pagani as the previous Zonda models used a more conventional manual gearbox with a three-pedal setup. Connecting the engine and gearbox was a multiple disc sintered clutch.
Built as a pure-bred racing car, the Zonda R's interior was equipped with only the bare necessities. In its original guise, the car sported a full width, adjustable rear wing, massive rear diffusor and a sizeable splitter. During the development period, much work focused on the splitter and front intakes, which substantially grew in size. Another striking feature was the roof-mounted airbox, which directly fed the big V12 engine.
Although work started late in 2006, the Zonda R did not debut until the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. It was later also demonstrated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where it impressed with its raw pace and the glorious howl of the race-bred V12. Even more impressive was the 6:47 lap-time recorded at the Nürburgring set in June 2010 by Marc Basseng. Pagani initially intended to produce ten examples but due to the demand, this was increased to fifteen.

Honda Argento Vivo AMG 7.3 V12 '95
A 1995 concept car designed by Pininfarina for Honda. The original show car was fitted with a rear wheel driving 2.5 litre 5-cylinder engine. The Argento Vivo concept had a metal roof and back light which retracted into the trunk compartment, transforming it to a roadster.
It also featured aluminium construction and two-tone finish with the aluminum left polished and exposed on the upper panels. The dark blue sections of the Argento Vivo were formed from fiberglass. The concept did not get produced becuase Honda was already starting to develop another concept car which was to become the Honda S2000 roadster.
The Argento Vivo also caught the attention of the Sultan of Brunei. He managed to persuade Pininfarina to create a fleet of five Argento Vivo’s for his family. However in place of the original Honda drivetrain was a Mercedes setup, including suspension, brakes, transmission and an AMG 7.3 litre V12.
The Argento Vivo evolved from the Honda-based car into further cars based on the brand new Mercedes SL600 chassis. Brakes, suspension and gearbox are all AMG, as is the 7.3 litre V12 engine.
The interior is custom-built by Pininfarina and consists of carbon fibre door panels, dashboard, centre console and special leather and carbon fibre seats.

SEAT Córdoba SX 1.8 i 16v '96
The SEAT Córdoba was the saloon, estate and coupé version of the SEAT Ibiza supermini car, built by the Spanish automaker SEAT. It was manufactured between 1993 and 2009, and was related with the second and third generations of the Ibiza.
The first generation Córdoba was presented at the 1993 Frankfurt Motor Show, and launched in the summer of the same year, penned by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and based on the chassis of the SEAT Ibiza Mk2 which would spawn the Volkswagen Polo Mk3 the following year.
Its 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol engines were also found in the Volkswagen Polo and Ibiza, as was the 1.9 TDI. Though based on the Polo and Ibiza, its extended rear overhang meant its length was close to a Golf but still smaller than the Jetta. It featured a boot space of 455 litres (16.1 cu ft) which could be extended up to 762 litres (26.9 cu ft) by folding rear seats.
In 1996, the Córdoba range was extended with a coupé (Córdoba SX), and in 1998, with an estate (Córdoba Vario).
The Córdoba SX was a two-door coupé version of the Córdoba. It came with five engine variants: 1.6-litre 100 hp (75 kW; 101 PS), 1.9-litre turbodiesel, a 1.8-litre 16 valve, 2.0-litre 8 valve (Cupra), which was also used in the Córdoba GTi, and a 2.0-litre 16 valve. The model was slightly revised in 1996, with a new rear splitter which required the exhaust to be hidden, a revised front lower grill and splitter, and the leather interior which became standard.
