Pretty sure GTR is twin turbo. What about TTRS?

X6M is twin turbo. Don't think Lotus is a good idea for a daily.

I'm actually clueless!

Maybe X6 - D?

FYI RRP = $205k for one of those babies.

It may all fall through, there are so many car plans on the table at the moment at the house of Alpine it is not funny anymore. My head is spinning.

So back on topic, if the right buyer comes along we will sell the car either way.

Yes Evora is a terrible car - wouldn't touch it with yours!

Only current Lotus I'd want is a Exige S 260 Cup - bit definitely question marks over reliability! I'll stick to the S2!

Fittingly, I had a look at house this weekend with 16 car spaces - workshop and landing for hoist!

Reliability aside, the GTE looks amazing!

Back to the topic, someone should just buy this car from the forum .

Yep, it'll most likely be the next car out the door, but we're in the middle of a very long, very painful and very expensive renovation process on our house.

I had a verbal agreement with John to buy the 1M, but he's selling it too early for me. Regardless of the house dramas, I need another 12 months of depreciation first anyway, haha.

So I may be on the look out for a well cared for 1M this time next year. We'll see.

They come in manual and STronic
They have only 1 turbo
They RRP at ~$150k OTR
The photo is of the non painted 19" Optional blade wheels

What about a GTR John. If it's power you want the GTR will do that Stage 3 time stock.
I guess this doesn't look so bad.

That's why it is Mrs Alpine who is considering buying it and not moir She had a black TTS and loved it, accepting the fact that it was S Tronic.

So c'mon, what is the other little snippet image out of? That TBH is the likely winner at the moment on the home front.

I meant The new R35 GTR.
I wasn't talking about the old GTR. Although I love the mirrors on the front guards.
