Driving the last Lotus Exige on road and track - Exige Sport 390 Final Edition review 

Lovely to see someone actually review one of these! Seems to have gone very quiet since they were announced.

Nice video. I agree, the Elise, Exige and Evora will be hard to replace.

I can imagine that noise is very addictive.

I watched this only because it is the end of an era....!!! a great car. RIP the motor car.

The noise this makes is truly amazing. What a lovely car. The end of lightweight Lotus. RIP Lotus

They sound so much better when the exhaust valves are open all the time 👍👍👍

I like the tongue and cheek representation. Sensational display of what that 3.5V6 can churn out and like you said a ‘mid engine’ is just unbelievable. Especially with the’ Lotus ‘ethos of light weight, it is surprising how this car has gone unnoticed. To truly feeling the drive, the song as you put it ‘Elephants trumpet’ I think it is a serious buy for Those who want to latch on to a bit of history !!

WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS OUT OF MY NOTIFICATIONS, I FRIKING LOVE LOTUS

Will be collectable one day . Awesome thing

Great review Tim (bell hit BTW) - at 6'4" I can't imagine how painful getting in/out would be. Looks fab in orange too!

Great review. What a great car, I’d have one if I were doing track days. I love it in orange and that exhaust noise sounds amazing! The Queen only ever got 4th in parkour competitions, the trophy cabinet is bare(back). Sorry.

I have an evora 410 and I do like the adjustable exhaust modes. . Most of the time it's on elephant mode :) but sometimes you want to cruise quietly and it's nice to have the choice.

18:20 Ooooh the Alan reference there Tim! Steve Coogan likes his cars too 👍

"sounds like a demented Child strapped to the back of your car" hahahah I actually bursted out laughing when you said that during my lunch break at the office 😂😂😂😂

Great video Tim 👍 Really surprised that Lotus chose the Michelin's Pilot Sport 4 instead of the 'PS4S' or the 'Cup 2', but if it still makes the car feel great to drive, then why not!

Thoroughly enjoyed that - content and your delivery. Subscribed 😊 And yeah - all V6 Lotus need a setting where the exhaust valve is open all the time.... unfortunately not as easy as pulling a fuse.

Good hands there at 16.42. chapeau!

As you demonstrated in the video, the way that V6 bellows at a certain RPM, makes it sound like its got individual throttle bodies or variable valve timing (oops, started to sound a bit w@nk3ry there 😂)

Theres a valve bypass button that allows you to have the flap open all the time under 4k revs.

I'm amazed you even fit in there at all! My license would simply evaporate in this car. £110,000 here in Oz :(

You wear my home town shirts “Doutonboli”

I’d bloody love a drive in one of those! I had a ride in a phase 1 Sport 160 about 20 years ago and still remember that fondly. It’s a shame the fat lady is singing that swansong. Man & Machine in perfect harmony?

Great to finally see a review of one of these. Anticipation building!

Great job and great test man! For next manual cars videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? :)

Good luck to clean de gearbox shifter but so nice

My outtake from this video: Tim is six foot three.

How tall is he? I don't think he mentioned it in this video.

Will lotus sell this in the US?

Nice T-shirt, DOTONBORI OSAKA CITY!! Do you like OSAKA?

It was a good video but in a too bad But we couldn't hear more about the exhaust sound

Lotus is committing suicide.

Martin brundle is definitely enough of a reason not to live somewhere

道頓堀

Several layers 😆😆😆

道頓堀ｗ

lol @ really boring people on internet forums - looking at you SELOC

.....quit looking at the camera................................................................................ffs...............

I think getting in and out is part of the experience and actualy makes that car, also handy to rest your arm on.
