Lotus Exige Overview

The Exige's incredible handling is made possible by a bonded extruded aluminum chassis, four-wheel-independent suspension, Eibach coil springs, Bilstein gas shock absorbers, AP Racing/Brembo brakes, multi-spoke alloy wheels, and Yokohama performance tires. The S 240 is powered by a supercharged 240 horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual transmission - the S 260 Sport and S 260 Roger Becker Edition use the same engine but horsepower is bumped up to 260. The available Touring Pack (standard on the S 260 Sport and S 260 Roger Becker Edition) includes full leather seats, upgraded stereo system with iPod connector, stowage net, additional sound insulation and full carpet set. The optional Track Pack provides adjustable Ohlins shocks with remote front reservoirs. A limited-slip differential is available with the S 240 and standard on the S 260 Sport and S 260 Roger Becker Edition.

The S 260 Sport and S 260 Roger Becker Edition (a limited edition built to honor the longtime director of Lotus vehicle engineering) trims are new for 2011.
