2006 Lotus Exige Supercharged White Black-leather Carbon Fiber Track Perfect on 2040-cars
Murrieta, California, United States
Model Overview The Lotus Exige
was introduced in 2006 as a hard-top version of Elise. It carries many of the
best features of the Elise, such as the all-aluminum chassis, and the
feather-light design. Weighing in at 2,077 lbs, the Exige is one of the
lightest closed cars available. Besides fixing the roof, Lotus stiffened the
suspension and made subtle changes to the sheet metal. The Exige features a
unique engine cover and rear wing, as well as a front fascia that helps provide
additional downforce over the Elise. For 2007, Lotus wanted to improve engine
performance, so they added a supercharger to the 1.8L Toyota-sourced engine.
This boosted output to 220 horsepower and torque to 165 ft-lbs, all while
increasing efficiency to 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. But what
has not changed is how dedicated Lotus is to making the Exige the ultimate
driver's car. The seats are specially shaped to embrace the driver, but the
thin padding means that every nuance of the road is transmitted to his or her
hips. The car sits extraordinarily low at 45 inches tall. The steering is not
power-assisted, but the ratio is quick and communication with the road is razor
sharp. The only transmission available is a six-speed manual. The Lotus also features
only four cubic feet of cargo space--1.3 cubic feet less than a Mazda MX-5.But
that's the cost of the Exige's blistering performance. Lotus claims a zero to
sixty time of 4.1 seconds. The Exige's mid-engine design, racing-style
anti-lock brakes, and Eibach/Bilstein suspension mean this is a serious sports
car. Lotus didn't want to dilute the essence of the car, but they did spare a
few popular comfort items. Among them, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, leather
seats with leather inserts, and a Blaupunkt CD player. The Exige is available
in several configurations to suit the ways different people intend to use it.
The Touring Package adds full leather seats, power windows, and sound
insulation.

Race Recap: 2013 Korean F1 Grand Prix crazy enough for Psy [spoilers]
Mon, 07 Oct 2013The end of qualifying for the 2013 Korean Formula One Grand Prix left us with five pairs: two chassis each from Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Lotus, Ferrari and Sauber. Yes, Sauber. The last time the Swiss team had two drivers in the top ten was Japan last year, when Kamui Kobayashi converted the grid spot into a podium.
But let's start at the front of the top ten, where Sebastian Vettel put his Red Bull on pole for the 42nd time in his career. He was followed by Lewis Hamilton in second place by two-tenths of a second, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull, and Romain Grosjean in the Lotus in fourth. Out-qualifying teammate Kimi Räikkönen again, the Finn would line up in tenth. Nico Rosberg put the second Mercedes in fifth, Fernando Alonso got the first Ferrari into sixth ahead of teammate Felipe Massa, while Nico Hülkenberg led with the first Sauber in eighth, teammate Esteban Gutiérrez showing the promise he was hired for (okay, and his money) in ninth. Except they'd all move up a place because Webber had to serve his ten-place grid penalty after getting his third reprimand of the season in Singapore. That would get Sergio Perez in his McLaren into tenth. Yes, McLaren needed a grid demotion ahead to make it into the top ten.
It was an entertaining top ten that no one would have expected. When the red lights went out, we were treated to one of the most entertaining races of the year - it was Gangnam Style at 300 kilometers per hour.
Lotus confirms new Elise S Cup
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Head on over to the Lotus website, and though the Elise isn't offered in the United States anymore, buyers in other markets can choose between numerous models: there's the base Elise, the Elise Club Racer, the Elise S and the Elise S Club Racer, and that's before even getting into the even more extreme Exige that's also based on the Elise. Track-day enthusiasts can also go for the full-on Elise S Cup R, but now the British sportscar manufacturer has confirmed a new variant.
Called the Elise S Cup, it slots in between the CR and the Cup R as an extreme performance model that can actually be driven to the track and back home on public roads. The S designation tells us it packs the 1.8-liter supercharged four that already produces 217 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque in the existing Elise S, Elise S CR and Elise S Cup R, but as we saw when Lotus was testing the new variant around the Nürburgring, the Elise S Cup packs some key upgrades.
It's got an aero kit - including front splitter, winglets, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing - that's more aggressive than other road-going models (though apparently less extreme than the track-focused S Cup R), helping to generate 145 lbs of downforce at 100 mph and 275 lbs at top speed and besting the Elise S around the Lotus test track by an impressive three seconds.
Lotus announces race-ready Exige V6 Cup and Cup R
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Lotus has pulled off the wraps on two new versions of the Exige: the V6 Cup and the V6 Cup R. Based on the Exige S, the V6 Cup is built to be a dual-purpose street and track machine. The 0-60 dash should take just under 3.8 seconds thanks to a full 345 horsepower from a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. Weighing in at 2,380 pounds, the V6 Cup should be an absolute riot to drive, and with a full FIA-approved roll cage, fire extinguisher and six-point race harnesses on board, it's plenty safe, too. Two-way adjustable dampers are standard, as are AP Racing four-piston calipers on all four corners. More importantly, drivers can expect to find the Lotus Dynamic Performance Management system in the cockpit, complete with Touring, Sport and DPM Off modes.
The V6 Cup R, meanwhile, is both lighter and offers more horsepower than the standard V6 Cup. The same blown V6 dishes out 366 horsepower in R trim, and the whole contraption tips the scales at 2,292 pounds. Of course, the same spate of race hardware is stock, minus the DPM system. A lightweight battery, track-spec tow loops and quick-release engine cover help separate the Cup R from its more civil sibling, as do performance brake pads and better oil and water cooling systems.
Check out the brief press release below for more information. Both of the new models are headed for a debut at the 2013 Autosport International Show.
