We've seen Lotus's extruded aluminum Elise platform repackaged ad nauseum, but here's a pulse-quickening version we can stand behind: the Exige R-GT, which is undergoing final homologation for FIA certification and will see ten examples built, seven of which will be reserved for the official team and European drivers.
