L’essence même de l’automotive performance, c’est simple. ‘Light is Right’ dixit Colin Chapman, design engineer, inventor, builder in the automotive industry, and founder of Lotus Cars. Un préparateur du nom de JUBU Performance a réalisé ce principe sur base de Lotus Exige modernisé, full carbon, moteur de 610 ch. pour un poids de 960 kg. Project dénommé JP ZERO. Présentation.
Design JP ZERO
Martin Jung, founder of JUBU Performance, wanted to build the race-car he always desired: fast, easy to drive and
JUBU Performance team
easy to maintain. What he did with his team is pretty insane: “JP ZERO”, a full carbon, 610 hp race-car with only 960kg,
designed to compete in the GT2 class. A 740 hp, street legal supercar will follow.
Design extérieur JP ZERO
“We took the great chassis from the Exige and built an entire new car around it.
Martin Jung, JUBU Performance
Almost everything – from suspension to steering wheel was completely new designed and produced at our factory in Austria.
During the development process we always kept the old principle of Colin Chapman in mind: simplify, then add lightness.”
The goal of project ZERO was to build a lightweight and high performance race car – easy to drive and with very low maintainance. It should be designed to fit three versions: a pure and high competitive race car, a arrive-and-drive track-tool and a luxurious, street legal supercar.

Design intérieur JP ZERO
Le team JUBU a pris un châssis et moteur de la Lotus Exige originale, et a design/dev’ tout le reste à partir de zéro, y compris le cadre, la suspension, la carrosserie, l’habitacle et le volant.
of course, il y a pour la version ‘ZEROrace’ l’équipement course : FIA-spec roll cage, FIA-spec carbon race seat, fire extinguishing system
Moteur JP ZERO
To achive this goal, JP ZERO is based on a super-lightweight Lotus chassis, equipped with a full carbon bodywork and a heavily optimised version of the very reliable Lotus 3.5 V6 engine. Top spped: 331 km/h.
JUBU Performance
Depending on the individual preferences/version a ZERO can deliver 460 to 740 bhp.
La transmission à double embrayage permet un changement de vitesse ultra rapide sans les inconvénients d’une boîte séquentielle classique.
On retrouve V6 biturbo de 3,5L, lubrifié par carter sec (dry sump), qui tourne à max 7200 tr/min et propose 610 hp (6250 rpm) et 635 Nm (4470 rpm), associé à une boite 7speed et à double embrayage.
In combination with the optional dual clutch gearbox a ZERO can stay up to 100 hours on track without any major maintainance.
JUBU Performance
Le concept Bi-Turbo permet également d’ajuster la puissance fournie par le moteur. Il est possible de régler la puissance délivrée de 410 hp à 610 hp avec un simple interrupteur dans le cockpit.
