This hike in power, together with an increase in torque to 170 lbft / 230 Nm / 23.5 kgm at 5,500 rpm from the standard 158.6 lbft / 215 Nm / 22 kgm at 5500rpm, helps whisk the Performance Pack Exige S from zero to 60mph in 4.5 secs and 0-100km/h in 4.77 secs, and on to 100mph in 11.97 secs.

rises to 145 mph. [/email]

I took a look at the 2008's spec and Lotus claims 4.1 second to 60 and a top speed of 150mph. The 2010 is claiming 4.5 seconds and 145mph top speed. So, is it really more areodynamic or just a change for changes sake (which isn't a very nice change IMO).
