Despite the economic uncertainty that has been hovering over Lotus lately, it’s still pumping out cars that we want to drive. Willie Nelson may have gone bankrupt, but the man can still sing.
In a newly released video, Lotus shows off the changes to the new Exige S, previewed in roadster form at the 2012 Geneva auto show. Donato Coco, the company’s design director, and Matt Becker, chief engineer for vehicle dynamics, explain the changes.
- Comparison Test: 2010 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport vs. 2010 Lotus Evora, 2010 Porsche Cayman S
- Short Take: 2011 Lotus Evora S
- First Drive: 2012 Porsche Cayman R
But that’s not all! Lotus also has shown us the car and its 345-hp supercharged V-6, which is borrowed from the Evora S parts bin, being put through its paces on a track. Lotus claims the Exige S can hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and 100 in just 8.5.
