Lotus Exige – The Responsive Lotus

Lotus describes this car as being the purest of the breed. Looking at it from the outside it is clearly evident that it is a Lotus due to the distinct design and style that is part of every Lotus vehicle. The Exige is part of a hand built manufacturing process like all of the other Lotus cars and it is also light in weight and handles superbly; again like other Lotus units in the range. It is a fun car to drive and certainly looks the part when stationed or in full motion. Available in two model variations; the new and used Lotus Exige S and the Exige Cupe 260, it really is a likeable little vehicle that delivers fantastic levels of performance for a two seated and two door sports car. What the latest version of the Exige provides is a restyled front and a lower rear wing, which reduces drag. It can also be said that this wing provides a fuller look and feel, which makes the vehicle look very robust. In terms of overall performance, the Exige has some rather impressive statistics such as 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.7 seconds, 0 to 100 mph in only 12.9 seconds and a top speed of up to 147 miles per hour. With this in mind then it will come as no surprise to hear that this particular Lotus unit offers only 24 miles to the gallon – so expect to be making regular visits to the petrol station if driving regularly!
