Lotus Exige V6


                                       Lotus Exige V6.

The Lotus Exige is a two-door, two-seat sports car made by Lotus Cars.
The Exige S features high performance Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres as standard with a Lotus DPM (Dynamic Performance Management) switch that allows the driver to switch between three driving modes: Touring, Sport and DPM off.

An additional Race Pack option is available offering a fourth driving mode providing maximum possible traction out of corners, an optimised track suspension setting and Launch Control.
And with two new interior package options available you get to spec your Exige S exactly as you want it. A Premium Pack option provides added comfort and style where as the Premium Sport option focuses on creating an internal cockpit optimised for ultimate driver involvement.

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, the Exige S represents the very essence of Lotus – ultimate lightweight raw performance combined with unparallelled ride and handling which promises a mind blowing drive like no other.

The Lotus Exige 260 has a top speed of 258 km/h (160 mph). Its acceleration is decent . Its handling though is good and responsive. The Exige can go through tight corners at higher speeds than many other cars including those that have a higher overall rating than the Exige itself.
Due to the light weight that the car has it's not recommended to take it to Team Escape. It's easily able to dodge rhinos and it can go through narrow gaps in roadblocks but if it collides with one, the Exige will take the impact very hard.

In our reviews, we found the Lotus Exige to be one of the most precise-handling cars on the market. It's like a hummingbird on four wheels. It's more of a quick car on a twisty road than a crazy fast car in a straight line. Since it was designed with a road course in mind, stopping and steering are just as important as acceleration. And while it was built to do everything well, it wasn't built for everyone in mind. The ride is harsh, getting in and out is difficult and outward visibility is extremely poor, essentially nonexistent out the back. But for die-hard enthusiasts, there's probably nothing more satisfying to drive.
