 A UNIQUE PLACE IN
HISTORY

Lotus is a driving icon that throughout decades of

development has remained true to its founding principles;
from the original Elite to the latest Evora. Efficient use of
the minimum number of parts, a perfectly balanced
chassis and a tactile and involving spirit are recognisable
in every car to carry the Lotus badge.

In 1948 Colin Chapman built his first car, following his

own theories for improved performance. He formed
Lotus in 1952 and from then on the company has never
ceased to innovate. In competition, Lotus has a rich
history. In Formula 1 alone Lotus has more than 500
Grand Prix starts, complete with 81 victories and 7
World Championships. In addition to the accolades
7 6 81 9 1 1 gained in F1, Lotus has successfully competed in Rally,
Le Mans, Indy and sports car classes around the world.

For Lotus, motorsport is tradition, inspiration and the

cornerstone of its brand. Colin Chapman inspired
Lotus’ racing success and applied his engineering
genius to make Lotus cars technically innovative and
ultimately faster than the competition.

As ambitious now as in the past, this dedication to

motorsport continues with Lotus gearing up in
competitions around the world. In Formula 1®,
Endurance racing and numerous GT series, Lotus is up
to speed; from Silverstone to Le Mans to Laguna Seca,
Lotus is making an impression in the world’s most
famous events on the most demanding circuits. These
high-profile international events are complimented by
dedicated Lotus one-make race series for the Evora,
Exige and Elise.

ROADSTER
The Exige has always blended the extreme and the sublime. In true Lotus fashion,
it traces its origins back to motorsport, conceived from technology developed in
competition. With its highly tuned engine, dramatic styling, and hardcore handling
- Lotus’ recipe for intense performance remains instantly recognisable.

Both the Exige’s looks and power have evolved since its original conception. The
aggressive lines of the Exige S underline its racing pedigree; its track inspired

EXIGE
CUP Combining the coupé’s awesome power and handling with an open air experience
is the Exige S Roadster. It’s the first time an Exige has been offered with a soft
top, one which is typically lightweight and easy to remove or fit.

Lotus’ engineering and motorsport expertise is clear, ensuring a sports car

that delivers on both road and track, its lightweight chassis and awesome
supercharged engine providing a perfect balance of power and weight. This
potent combination becomes obvious in its motorsport evolutions, with the
formidable Exige V6 Cup versions stirring up Lotus Cup series worldwide.

The state-of-the-art Exige chassis is composed of
an extruded and bonded aluminium structure,
developed for its lightweight yet incredibly stiff
design, with a central tub containing the driver’s
cockpit and safety cell – a format closely reflecting
the layout of modern-day racing cars. Its unique
design ensures an extremely rigid chassis, and the
perfect foundation for an agile sports car.

BORN ON
TRACK

Intense performance comes from intensive detail. Lotus’ motorsport

expertise features strongly in the Exige’s design and engineering, with
race-derived components such as double wishbone suspension, Bilstein
dampers, Eibach springs and AP Racing track tuned braking systems,
every component having been carefully optimised on track.

A dramatic styling overhaul sees a new, sleeker body design, with its
sculptured, leaner shape prominent in the Exige S Roadster, which safely
sheds its aerodynamic aids in order to optimise airflow with the roof off. A
new, track focussed aerodynamic package is fitted to the coupé,
conveying its racing purpose even before the engine is fired.

Helping the driver harness the incredible

power is a new Dynamic Performance
Management system (DPM) that offers extra
stability when the high levels of grip are
exceeded. A selectable Sport mode takes DPM
one step further, allowing the driver to safely
explore the limits even more. Choose the ‘Race
Pack’ option for Launch Control and a fourth
‘Race’ mode providing maximum possible
traction and stability in and out of corners for
ultimate lap times.

 HOME ON THE
ROAD

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 calliper brakes. A slick shifting 6 speed
manual with optimised sports ratios puts you in total
control of the driving experience.

Whether in coupé 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.

 THE LOTUS
EXIGE S
Raw performance, agility, unparalleled ride and handling
and mind blowing drive experience: these attributes are
what people have come to expect from Lotus, and the
Exige S doesn’t disappoint. With a 345 hp (350 PS)
supercharged V6 engine powering it from 0-60 mph in only
3.8 seconds, this track developed road car isn’t for the
faint-hearted. Performance is accessed via a 6 speed
manual transmission with perfectly matched ratios.
Track-inspired details such as the all-new aerodynamic
package, through to its race-inspired steering wheel and
lightweight sport seats amplify its potent abilities.

Thrills come from the incredible sensation of intimacy

experienced in the Exige S. But you wouldn’t expect any
less from a car developed for drivers by drivers. Expertly
honed by the renowned Lotus ride and handling team on
some of the world’s most demanding test circuits
including the Hethel test track, its dynamic capabilities are
awe-inspiring.

The ultimate expression of performance, the Lotus Exige S

is a true race car for the road.

ROADSTER
The Lotus Exige S Roadster combines the pure
performance of its coupé twin with the unique open
air driving experience loved in the Elise. Its new,
sleeker body design, with its sculptured, leaner
shape allows it to safely shed its aerodynamic aids
in order to maximise airflow with the roof off. It’s
the first Exige offered with a factory-fitted soft top,
one which is typically lightweight and easy to install
and remove.

A fine balance between beauty and beast, it shares

the same powertrain and race-derived
technologies as the coupé, ensuring that
wind-in-the-hair thrills do not compromise
extreme performance, with the Roadster mirroring
the coupé’s 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds.

Premium Pack Roadster interior Lotus’ superb knowledge of driving dynamics ensures
that the front end turns in with an almost telepathic
precision, while the rear remains stable at all times
unless deliberately provoked. Its tuned sports
exhaust can be amplified at the flick of a switch,
providing a dramatic aural soundtrack.

EXIGE V6 CUP
More at home on the race track than on the road? Then
take your place behind the wheel of the Lotus Exige V6
Cup, a road legal, track focussed racer. This hard core
evolution follows the same recipe as the successful S2
Exige Cup cars, providing ultimate thrills for serious
track enthusiasts and racers alike.

It shares the same 3.5 litre supercharged V6 engine and

manual transmission as the road car, yet lifts the
performance envelope further after undergoing a crash
diet that sees its already light weight reduced even
further. Astonishing agility comes via adjustable race
suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars and Lotus’ 4 way
adjustable DPM with Race Pack as standard. And with
FIA approved seats* and harnesses, fire extinguisher
and electrical kill switches all part of the package, your
‘out of the box’ race car is ready to hit the start line.

If you’d like to take your driving to the next level, the
