2006 Lotus Exige Supercharged White Black-leather Carbon Fiber Track Perfect on 2040-cars
Murrieta, California, United States
|
Model Overview The Lotus Exige
was introduced in 2006 as a hard-top version of Elise. It carries many of the
best features of the Elise, such as the all-aluminum chassis, and the
feather-light design. Weighing in at 2,077 lbs, the Exige is one of the
lightest closed cars available. Besides fixing the roof, Lotus stiffened the
suspension and made subtle changes to the sheet metal. The Exige features a
unique engine cover and rear wing, as well as a front fascia that helps provide
additional downforce over the Elise. For 2007, Lotus wanted to improve engine
performance, so they added a supercharger to the 1.8L Toyota-sourced engine.
This boosted output to 220 horsepower and torque to 165 ft-lbs, all while
increasing efficiency to 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. But what
has not changed is how dedicated Lotus is to making the Exige the ultimate
driver's car. The seats are specially shaped to embrace the driver, but the
thin padding means that every nuance of the road is transmitted to his or her
hips. The car sits extraordinarily low at 45 inches tall. The steering is not
power-assisted, but the ratio is quick and communication with the road is razor
sharp. The only transmission available is a six-speed manual. The Lotus also features
only four cubic feet of cargo space--1.3 cubic feet less than a Mazda MX-5.But
that's the cost of the Exige's blistering performance. Lotus claims a zero to
sixty time of 4.1 seconds. The Exige's mid-engine design, racing-style
anti-lock brakes, and Eibach/Bilstein suspension mean this is a serious sports
car. Lotus didn't want to dilute the essence of the car, but they did spare a
few popular comfort items. Among them, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, leather
seats with leather inserts, and a Blaupunkt CD player. The Exige is available
in several configurations to suit the ways different people intend to use it.
The Touring Package adds full leather seats, power windows, and sound
insulation.

Lotus Exige S tears the roof off
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Some things just don't make sense. But then we're not sure they really have to. Imagine Porsche took the Cayman, which is essentially the coupe version of the Boxster, and turned it into a convertible. Wouldn't make much sense, would it? Well that's essentially what Lotus did with the creation of the Exige S Roadster.
The Exige, you see, was already the fixed-roof version of the Elise. So what was the point in turning it back into a roadster? That's what our friends at XCar tried to ascertain in the video below. We could tell you what conclusion they arrived at, but that would spoil all the fun. So we'll just let you enjoy the seven-minute clip and see for yourself. Just remember: it doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be a Lotus.
Race Recap: 2014 Spanish Grand Prix is boom and bust [spoilers]
Mon, 12 May 2014The Spanish Grand Prix's 2.892-mile Circuit de Catalunya is considered a preview for the rest of the season, since it's a combination of long front straight and twisting middle sectors mimic sections from every other Formula One track to follow. After the long break following the flyaway races to open the season, teams and fans have also been looking forward to this race to see if anyone had a realistic hope of catching Mercedes AMG Petronas; Infiniti Red Bull Racing honcho Christian Horner boiled his team's outlook for the season down to the line, "We've got to [beat them in Spain] if we're going to make a championship of it."
If we take that as our starting point then the weekend began as a bust. Lewis Hamilton only just beat Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg for pole, the Brit's final effort getting him 0.178 seconds clear of the German. Daniel Ricciardo, proving Red Bull is at least the best of the rest, took third but did so more than a second behind Hamilton. Valtteri Bottas of Williams lined up fourth, almost 1.5 second behind and Romain Grosjean delivered overdue good news for Lotus by taking fifth on the grid, more than 1.7 seconds behind pole. Kimi Räikkönen in sixth outqualified his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso in seventh, but he couldn't be happy about it because the Ferraris were nearly two seconds behind, and Jenson Button in eighth in the McLaren was more than two second behind. Felipe Massa put the second Williams in ninth, and Sebastian Vettel overcame a terrible start to the weekend to make it into Q3, then didn't set a time when his gearbox failed, then got dropped five places to 15th on the grid when the gearbox had to be changed.
When the lights went out, then came the boom...
Lotus Motorcycles C-01 now 'ready for the road'
Thu, 20 Feb 2014When we first laid eyes on leaked images of the Lotus Motorcycles C-01, we wondered if its laid-back, sport cruiser shape was really appropriate for a motorcycle bearing any connection with Colin Chapman and the company's famous "add lightness" mantra. We've now seen official pictures of the bike in multiple color schemes, including classic black and gold, British racing green and even a variant that resembles Martini livery, and while we think it looks pretty cool, our opinion hasn't really changed.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that the C-01 isn't an embodiment of the Lotus ethos, as the company that intends to build it isn't really Lotus at all, its builders - German racing firm Kodewa and tuner Holzer Group - merely having licensed the name of the British sportscar maker. It was designed by Daniel Simon, who once worked for Volkswagen and consulted for Bugatti and is the man credited with creating the reborn Tron Light Cycles. Still, looking past its questionable heritage, the C-01 looks pretty darn awesome, and there are some interesting bits that have us looking forward to the production version that's reportedly due within the next two months.
As expected, power comes in at 200 horsepower, courtesy of a modified version of KTM's 1,195-cc V-twin engine. The chassis is made up of steel, titanium and carbon fiber, with a seat height of about 28 inches. Its wheelbase, at about 65 inches, is a full 10 inches longer than a real street-legal superbike, and its front end is raked way out in front with a 19-inch wheel. Those dimensions mean we shouldn't expect much racetrack prowess, unless its rider is only planning on going in a straight line. Indeed, with a claimed dry weight of under 400 pounds, the Lotus Motorcycles C-01 ought to be mighty quick down the quarter mile.
