Lotus prices Exige S Roadster from £52,900

Lotus has announced its new Exige S Roadster will be priced from £52,900 – exactly the same as the hard-top Exige S. It’s also slightly lighter than the fixed-head Exige, and matches its blistering acceleration times.  That £52,900 tag makes the 345bhp Exige S Roadster £7500 pricier than a (pre-options list) Porsche Boxster S manual, though the 1328kg Porsche makes do with only 315bhp.

Renault Zoe sets new electric car record for distance travelled

The Renault Zoe EV has set a new world record for distance travelled in an electric car in 24 hours – 1005 miles. It seems Renault are determined to prove that an electric car – in this case the Renault Zoe EV – can travel sensible distances in a sensible period of time. So they set out to run a pair of production spec Renault Zoes round the Aubevoye speed ring in Normandy for a full twenty four hours with the aim of breaking the record for distance travelled in an electric car in that time (yes, there’s a world record for everything these days).

Aventador Sold Out. Will that mean cheap Gallardos?

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 - sold out for 2011 With production of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 likely to run at no more than about 1,000 cars this year, it’s not the biggest shock in the world that we’re hearing every single LP700-4 slot for 2011 is already sold out. Whatever way you look at it, the LP700-4 does offer a remarkable set of performance stats, all wrapped up in a typically Lambo-esque body. It even gets a carbon fibre tub – long the preserve of the real high-end hypercars – and 0-60mph times that will spank the Huayra and have the Veyron looking over its shoulder.
