The Cup R models received special bodywork with an integrated front splitter, contoured side skirts, a rear diffuser, a polycarbonate rear window, and a rear wing with Union Jack-accented endplates. The selling dealer notes a chip in the rear diffuser. The Cup R is not street-legal, and this example is finished in Ardent Red with a black roof and headlight delete panels.
Black 16″ and 17″ 10-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama Advan A048 tires measuring 195/50 up front and 225/45 at the rear. The Nitron suspension is equipped with adjustable dampers, and braking is handled by four-wheel cross-drilled and ventilated discs. The front tires were reportedly replaced in 2017, and the brake fluid flushed in 2019. A spare set of rear tires is included in the sale.
The bucket seats are trimmed in black cloth and Alcantara with Lotus-stitched headrests. A color-matching dashboard, door panels, sills, and shifter surround are fitted, while the floors are left bare. Interior equipment includes a driver’s seat with a six-point harness, a passenger seat with a four-point harness, a roll cage, a Lifeline Zero 2000 fire-suppression system, and air conditioning.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer, 9k-rpm tachometer, and a digital display. The digital odometer indicates 469 miles, approximately 340 of which were added under current ownership.
The transverse 1.8-liter 2ZR-FE inline-four features a Magnusson R900 supercharger and was factory rated at 217 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The oil was last changed and the coolant was flushed in 2019.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle.
A plaque from Lotus Motorsport indicates that this car was build number 007.
A safety cage certificate and manual, Nitron suspension manual, and a spare set of rear tires are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in South Carolina with entries ending in 2017.
