The transition from twisting track to open road does not faze the Exige S, with its expertly engineered suspension working in harmony with its chassis and sticky Pirelli tyres, ensuring swift progress without compromising driver involvement or feedback.
Whatever the circumstances - tight hairpin, sweeping curve or flowing straight, the Exige S is superbly poised and controlled, delivering confidence-inspiring feedback. At the slightest urge, the supercharged engine delivers immediate throttle response thanks to ample torque available throughout the rev range. Immense stopping power comes via large cross-drilled and ventilated four-piston caliper brakes. A slick shifting 6-speed manual with optimised sports ratios puts you in total control of the driving experience.
Whether in coupe or Roadster guise, the Exige S cuts an imposing silhouette on the road, instantly standing out from the crowd. From its purposeful design to its awe inspiring dynamic capabilities, the Exige S' intent is clear. Its credentials may be proven on track, but it is equally at home on the road.
Applying the Lotus refined Club Racer principles to the already stunning Exige S results in the most inspiring version of an already class-leading sports car. With a reputation of outshining many cars in its class, the 345 bhp supercharged power, coupled with precise handling, provides outstanding performance that’s absolutely guaranteed to thrill with total confidence.
The Exige S is a model that already excels, thanks to its lightweight aluminium chassis-tub and aerodynamically enhanced composite bodywork. Its 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine delivers exciting performance, benchmark handling and a pure driving experience combined with a 4.0 seconds 0-62mph (0-100km/h) acceleration time and a top speed of 274 km/h (170 mph). Factoring the Club Racer ethos into the Exige enhances the track-focussed potential of this important model. It encompasses our legendary benchmark in handling, with lightweight and efficient construction and that we will always put a peerless and pure driving experience first.
At 1161 kg, it is lighter by 15 kg compared to the Exige S, because of its new lightweight battery, lightweight centre console in body colour, lighter doors and lightweight sports seats in leather or Alcantara with colour coded stitching. Traction slip thresholds (‘Drive‘, ‘Sport’ and ‘Race’ settings) allowing the driver enhanced vehicle control before intervention is required can be altered via a driver-selectable switch which is now fitted as standard. Both ‘Sport’ and ‘Race’ settings increase throttle responsiveness.
The Exige S Club Racer is available in Metallic White, Exige Orange, Metallic Yellow and Matt Black (option). The front splitter, rear wing, front access panel, roof panel, wing mirrors and rear transom are in matt black. Club Racer decals inside on the dashboard and seats and outside above the side indicator identify this latest special addition to the Exige range.
To create desirable, wind-in-the-hair excitement, the Exige S Roadster maintains its peerless lightweight performance pedigree with its top removed. Better to hear the 345bhp (350PS) supercharged V6 engine, the aural effect is of a classic convertible. Yet, there is no loss of its track-inspired details and its focused aerodynamics and hip-hugging cabin, underline its purpose. The purity of its driving thrills are a Lotus remit that promotes the sensation of driver intimacy with the car, enhanced, when the weather permits, by greater intimacy with the environment.

The Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) ensures that the driver can harness the high potential of the engine and its chassis through three programmed settings (four, if you opt for the Pace Pack) and antilock brakes help to avoid hazards.

The stability system and antilock brakes ensure that the driver can harness the high potential of the engine and its chassis through its programmed settings.
Consider that the Exige V6 Cup is already an optimised lightweight sportscar, adding the R suffix takes the V6 Cup R to authentic competition standard. While lightness remains a perpetual Lotus pillar, the Cup R variant is another 60kgs lighter.
