Lotus Exige S
The Lotus Exige S is based purely around phenomenal performance and handling, Using a
development of the supercharger and intercooler package developed first for the already legendary
Lotus Sport Exige 240R, the Exige S has peak power of 162.5 kW (221 PS, 218 hp) at 7800 rpm, 215
Nm (158.6 lb ft) of torque at 5500 rpm
(but 80% is produced at just over 2000 rpm). Maximum engine
speed is 8000 rpm (8500 rpm transient for up to 2 seconds). 162.5 kW (218 hp, 220 PS) is the figure
that has been achieved by Lotus Engineers whilst retaining full vehicle type approval for the markets in
which it is sold.
The Lotus Exige S is one of the quickest cars on normal roads and also around a circuit. Key to this
incredible performance is the aerodynamic package, which creates 41.2 kg (90.64 lbs) of downforce -
19.3 kg (42.46 lbs) at the front and 21.9 kg (48.18 lbs) at the rear - at 160 km/h (100 mph). This
downforce ratio between front (47%) and rear (53%) is balanced and remains constant at the speeds of
which the Exige S is capable.
