2006 Lotus Exige Supercharged White Black-leather Carbon Fiber Track Perfect on 2040-cars
Murrieta, California, United States
Model Overview The Lotus Exige
was introduced in 2006 as a hard-top version of Elise. It carries many of the
best features of the Elise, such as the all-aluminum chassis, and the
feather-light design. Weighing in at 2,077 lbs, the Exige is one of the
lightest closed cars available. Besides fixing the roof, Lotus stiffened the
suspension and made subtle changes to the sheet metal. The Exige features a
unique engine cover and rear wing, as well as a front fascia that helps provide
additional downforce over the Elise. For 2007, Lotus wanted to improve engine
performance, so they added a supercharger to the 1.8L Toyota-sourced engine.
This boosted output to 220 horsepower and torque to 165 ft-lbs, all while
increasing efficiency to 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. But what
has not changed is how dedicated Lotus is to making the Exige the ultimate
driver's car. The seats are specially shaped to embrace the driver, but the
thin padding means that every nuance of the road is transmitted to his or her
hips. The car sits extraordinarily low at 45 inches tall. The steering is not
power-assisted, but the ratio is quick and communication with the road is razor
sharp. The only transmission available is a six-speed manual. The Lotus also features
only four cubic feet of cargo space--1.3 cubic feet less than a Mazda MX-5.But
that's the cost of the Exige's blistering performance. Lotus claims a zero to
sixty time of 4.1 seconds. The Exige's mid-engine design, racing-style
anti-lock brakes, and Eibach/Bilstein suspension mean this is a serious sports
car. Lotus didn't want to dilute the essence of the car, but they did spare a
few popular comfort items. Among them, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, leather
seats with leather inserts, and a Blaupunkt CD player. The Exige is available
in several configurations to suit the ways different people intend to use it.
The Touring Package adds full leather seats, power windows, and sound
insulation.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Lotus bows out of Paris Motor Show
Mon, 16 Jul 2012The plan put forth by former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar was to explode the British brand into the high-dollar sports car segment and directly challenge its marquee names. The first explosion came with the surprise introduction of five concepts at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. What has continued to surprise, though, is that the explosions haven't stopped: parent company Proton has had troubles leading to a reworking of its Formula One involvement, its IndyCar effort has had a rough ride, Proton's sale to Malaysian conglomerate DRB Hicom led to a production stoppage, and while the company was reassured that it wouldn't be sold, Bahar was shown the door - along with four of those Paris concepts, as far as we can tell. Yet the company is still making highly regarded cars and going racing.
So it shouldn't be all that surprising that, according to a report in Car and Driver, Lotus won't be attending this year's Paris Motor Show at all. Lotus didn't have much to show off at the Geneva Motor Show or the New York Show as all development was halted for two months, and the new corporate owner and new CEO installed by that owner are still working through the details of its niche English property. We will hope this is nothing more than a step in the reorganization, and look forward to seeing the Hethel firm again in Los Angeles or Detroit.
eBay Find of the Day: 2000 Lotus 340R, claimed only street-legal example in US
Wed, 03 Sep 2014These days most of the news out of Lotus comes when it releases a lighter or faster version of the Elise, Exige or Evora. However, the stripped-out, Elise-based 340R might already show the logical conclusion of that concept, despite coming out in 2000. Now, one of the 340 made is up for auction on eBay Motors, and the seller in Fort Lauderdale, FL, claims that it's the only street-legal example available in the US.
Lotus founder Colin Chapman always had an obsession with making his vehicles as light as possible, and the 340R adhered to that adage about as closely as a street car could in 2000. These minimalist roadsters eschewed opening doors, windows and a roof in the pursuit of cutting the fat off the brand's hardly portly Elise. The company's engineers also trimmed away the fenders to give their creation a semi-open wheel design that looked as wild when new as today. For the interior, they installed two racing buckets, and the most of the rest was left in bare metal, including the pedals. All of the changes reportedly brought the 340R down to around 1,545 pounds.
Power comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with a five-speed manual gearbox. The 340R is available with 177 horsepower or a tuned 187-hp version from that mill, but the seller doesn't specify which one this is. It's still a pretty fresh car, though, with just 3,577 miles claimed on the odometer.
