And now this...
Partly in celebration of the Lotus win at the 1981 Italian Rally and as part of Lotus' re-entry to WRC competition in 2012 (asphalt only races at Monte Carlo, Tour de Course and San Remo) Lotus is releasing the Exige R-GT which is fully FIA rally compliant with roll cage and all the goodies. It will be available for purchase after Lotus' teams get theirs in the near future.
Just a gorgeous vehicle...The Lotus at the bottom is the 1981 Italy Rally winning Lotus Sunbeam.

Every time someone posts a picture of one of those Sunbeams, I have to do a double-take. I mean, it looks like a Dodge Omni at first glance, ya know?
Beyond that, yeah. This Exige is spectacular. Can't help but find it ironic they chose an Exige to showcase their dedication to performance and motorsport, when they're looking to phase out the Elise and replace it with larger, heavier models, much to the purists' chagrin.
