Lotus Exige S with 350 hp debuts in Frankfurt

By George on September 16th, 2011

Lotus Exige S packs a 350 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 supercharged engine from Evora S. Even though the V6 engine is heavier than the four cylinder engine used in the standard Exige, the car still weighs just 1080 kg.

The Exige S has a completely new exterior and interior look and feel. There is a new front splitter and rear spoiler giving it a strong and aerodynamic profile.

There are two new interior package options available: Premium and Premium Sport. The Premium Pack provides added comfort and style where as the Premium Sport option focuses on creating an internal space optimised for ultimate driver involvement.

The Exige S also features high performance bespoke tyre package with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres as standard. A Lotus DPM (Dynamic Performance Management) switch allows the driver to switch between three driving modes: Touring, Sport and DPM off.

And if three dynamic settings are not enough, an additional Race Pack option is available which adds a fourth driving mode setting: Race. This setting provides the maximum possible traction out of corners. The Race Pack also features Launch Control and an optimised suspension setting making the car perfect for letting rip on the track.
