What a shame !!!!...hope occupants ok...only 81 miles run.

Asking £53,000

I think I would be a bit nervous. Lotus cars with that sort of damage are ofte written off as unrepairable in reality because you cannot pull a glued ally stucture straight in the way you can a steel one. Has the plus 6 got a sacrificial front and rear frame? I believe the Evora has at the front but not the rear. So the car has been bought from the insurance company as a write off described as repairable but I wonder if it is.

I was talking to Henry at Williams about this today.
It was spun, on the way home from the supplying dealer.
The early arrival of a massive amount of torque catches people out, and once the back end has gone that is it.
As with the NL car, a low mileage on green tyres summer and a cold wet road, plus the arrival of all the torque at low revs played their part.
As much the driver as the car, but for those used to computer managed traction and stability aids the Plus Six will bite..hard.
Winter tyres and possibly a better suspension set up would help, but driver training/awareness are key.

What confusies me is that I found the power delivery rather linear when I test drove the Plus Six.
Of course, I did not give it A full throttle at once, but did test its power a few times. Road was wettish then. Not once did I get the feeling the car would loose traction or that increase of power or torque were in any way ‘sudden‘. But maybe I was just lucky...
