I'm gonna fight 'em all
A 7 nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

With the brand now firmly in Malaysian hands, Lotus is planning on using the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show to reveal its latest creation, the Exige Scura. Scura is Italian for "dark" and it's clear to see why. The matt black finish with high gloss ‘Phantom Black' triple stripes give it a kind of stealth bomber character. Incidentally the Japanese model will be referred to as the Exige Stealth. Only 35 copies will be sold internationally.

"The Exige Scura is a stunning vehicle which offers an adrenaline fuelled experience and is a real head-turner," Luke Bennett, Director of Lotus Cars said. "Our Exige customers choose Lotus because we deliver thrilling performance and dynamic design and this special edition fits the bill on both counts."

The exterior features lightweight carbon fibre components such as a front splitter, oil cooler inlet vanes, side air scoops and a rear spoiler. The interior is also peppered in this material as far as the sports seats and the centre console.

Providing thrust is a supercharged 1.8-litre engine with VVTL-i making 191kW (260hp) and 236Nm (174 lb-ft) developed at 6,000rpm. Pushing torque to the rear is a 6-speed manual gearbox. Lotus has used the Lotus Launch Control and Lotus Traction Control systems originally developed for the Exige GT3 racing programme. The 0 - 100km/h sprint time is 4.1 seconds and top speed is 245km/h. The Exige Scura returns a combined fuel consumption figure of 8.5 litres per 100km on the EU cycle while emitting 199 g/km of C02 gases.

Lotus begins taking orders from 21 October for Europe, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

A few of the released prices are as follows: UK (£45,000 MSRP), Germany (€60,000), Euro Zone (€50,420), Italy (€61,885) and France (€61,200).

While I agree that the paint makes the car look very evil, one scuff in the paint or ding and you would have to have the area resprayed, not just touched up. There are a few Lotus owners that have painted their cars in flat black, only to change them shortly thereafter. The GT wing looks odd to me, but that is a personal preference. I could see this in a garage, but not on the street. Adding any type of paint protectant shield would look ridiculous, and the way Lotus designed the Elise and Exige make it very prone to rock chips and such (being low and wide wheel wells). It is good marketing, but I think the best value right now for Lotus is the Purist edition. In my opinion Lotus is making too many variations of the same car. I would not pay the sticker on this car, when you can get a used Elise/Exige for under $30,000 fairly easily. I would spend the extra money on a supercharger, paint and wing.

Agreed

And it seems every manufacturer is jumping on the "lets-put-shit-ugly-rims-on-every-car-we-make" bandwagon...
