Lotus has finally done something right despite the chaos going on in the company - manufacture a more powerful Exige! The Exige has always been a wild beast with flared arches, racer like diffuser, and orange paint and was always meant to be an alternative to Porsche's GT3 RS but with the power output at about 200+ hp, it seemed the Exige hadn't the punch to match the looks. Until April this year that is since Lotus took the heart from the Evora and forced it in the Exige. With the new introduction of the Exige, as you would expect with Lotus purists, they weren't happy. Lotus took note and has given us a more hardcore version, the V6 Cup.
The V6 Cup will be in divided into two variants: Track Day priced at £62,995 and Full-On-Competition-Spec at £74,995. Both are powered by the same supercharged 3.5l V6 engine pushing 346 bhp and does the century sprint in 3.8 seconds. A 911 Carrera GTS does it in 4.4 seconds and has 408 bhp. The Exige has certainly entered supercar territory with that kind of acceleration.
This race worthy car has all the kit it needs to go racing. It comes equipped with Lotus Dynamic Performance Management that gives the driver to choose between Race, Sport and Touring modes. It also gets a multi-adjustable suspension, rear diffuser and wing, aero-optimized front splitter and Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo tires. Also in the package, removable steering wheel, HANS compliant race seats, four or six point harness, FIA approved fire extinguishers and a roll cage. Now purists, here's the car you requested.
