here it is...

Finally. Lotus is sending its top-shelf hooch to the US, in the form of a superchargerd Exige S. The company anounced today that the near-supercar Exige is coming to the states in the form of a 220-hp version (a 16-percent lift from the base model). The coupe, which weighs in at 2,077 pounds, can get from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds (nearly a second faster than the base model) and to 100 mph in 11 seconds, under the command of a six-speed tranny. Top speed is 148 mph. The model also gets variable-revs cam switching, by way of its T4e engine control system. For you? $56,990. Operators are standing by.

Aah, I feel better now...

That is great news!!!!!! I wonder how many the US will see? Surprising it is only 220 Hp,( although the tuners should take care of that!)

alexio · 09-26-2006, 08:10 PM

damn, I'd literally sat in front of my pc for 2 years waiting to be the first... and now, 2 years WASTED,... not fast enough to be #1 with this... ok, time to get a job...

You only have to ask...

Bob - why doesn't the White Exige S have driving lights?

BOB1984 · 09-30-2006, 11:10 AM

Think it has something to do with the performance pack... the white one must have this so does not include the driving lights... at least i think this is why

master · 09-30-2006, 03:00 PM

Thanks Bob, you are the Exige, or at least it's soul

I'm getting the blue,thanks again.

macfly · 09-30-2006, 05:51 PM

Ohhhh, that Laser Blue is really pretty, and it wouldn't show the blue tape too badly either!!

For the US, the driving lights are a dealer-installed option.. just asked my dealer about this regarding my order.

37$? Sold!

Westrock · 10-03-2006, 05:44 PM

Now if Lotus was/is really smart, they will install slightly larger than needed fuel injectors in the Exige S. Then a little later down the road come out with a stage upgrades. Stage 1 of course will be a catback exhaust system (and maybe a new intake, though the stock one is probably OK). This might give like 5-10 HP. The stage 2 will be a smaller pulley and an ECU reflash which will take advantage of the extra headroom left with the injectors. This can give 20-25 HP and cost around $1000 (including the reflash, but not installation costs for the pulley). Thats like $100 (max) costs for the pulley and $60-$100 for paying the dealer for time to do the reflash (30 minutes to hour tops). Makes us happy, and gives them some extra revenue.

master · 10-03-2006, 05:58 PM

Lotus is now working on pissing off the next group of customers ( Exige S ). Lotus has us all running to get the S before the dreded bumpers show up

This will work again, the next model will have bumpers, will have more weight, but maybe a engine from BMW to make us all want what's after the S.............. Oh that's right that's their job

Devo · 10-03-2006, 11:20 PM

I wonder what the british racing green and red look like

, as these seem to be the only "free" colours? (hint, hint)

The next model will be called the Exige SE. You guys are so far behind!

eliseowner2b · 10-04-2006, 05:02 AM

Isn't the MSRP for a current Exige around 53K? That means they are only increasing the price by 3,900 for the S...that seems low.
