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.

Lotus drops Renault for Mercedes F1 engines
Tue, 08 Jul 2014With only three manufacturers supplying engines in Formula One this season, the teams have been fairly evenly split: Ferrari, Sauber and Marussia use Ferrari engines; Mercedes, McLaren, Williams and Force India run on Mercedes power; Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Lotus and Caterham employ Renault power units. But one important team is reportedly preparing to ditch Renault and switch to Mercedes for next year.
That team is Lotus, an outfit which has fallen off its pace the past few seasons but which has still been a vital partner for Renault. That's because until a few seasons ago, the team based in Enstone, UK, was owned by Renault and bore the company's name. The operation was founded in 1981 as Toleman, was rechristened Benetton in 1986, bought by Renault 2000, taking the company's name in 2002, sold to its current owners Genii Capital 2009 and adopting the black and gold Lotus livery in 2011. As Benetton, it ran Ford engines until switching to Renault in 1995, sticking with the French outfit ever since, but that decades-long partnership - which meandered through Renault ownership and back out again - is now apparently drawing to a close.
The departure of Lotus as a customer team ought to allow Renault to focus instead on its increasing ties with Red Bull, which has taken the Enstone team's place as Renault's principal team. It could prove a smart move for the Lotus team as well, as the Mercedes engines have been outperforming the Renault units this season by an order of magnitude: not only is Mercedes far outpacing Red Bull at the top of the standings, but each of Mercedes' customer teams is performing better than Renault's clients.
Lotus Eletre configurator welcomes virtual tire kickers
Sun, Apr 17 2022The Lotus Eletre configurator is ready to be toyed with. There aren't that many customization options to play with, but the total experience is quite fun. The exterior palette consists of seven colors. The odd bit is that, try what browser we may, we couldn't get the names of those seven colors to appear anywhere. The menu looks like black, green, red, yellow, and three shades of silver, but clicking the latter three reveals what looks like a metallic silver, a flat gray, and a rose-tinted-something. Same with the interior, which comes in green, black, white, or beige. All but black result in a two-tone cabin. Things are much easier when it comes to wheels. The floral petal rims either come in all black or black with polished accents, the center caps are either Lotus yellow or black, and the calipers are either yellow, red, green, black, or charcoal. For those of you unsure about the Eletre's looks, the well stocked Animations, Beautyshots, and Environments sections could get you on board with the styling — it did for us; a red Eletre under a cosmopolitan setting spoke to us in a way the yellow debut model did not. A couple of notes, though. Choose your colors in one of the Environments; the ambient lighting in the Beautyshots changes the vehicle lighting like in real life, turning the bright yellow calipers into a dusty gray in one instance, for example. The animations that show off features like the aero shutters in the grille and the active rear spoiler need a couple of clicks to perform. And again, just like in real life, the Eletre only does what you tell it; if you leave the hatch up in the Boot animation then click the Spoiler or Front Left Door, the boot stays up. Click to a city environment with the driver's door and hatch open and you'll be crystal clear as to what the Eletre looks at the end of a shopping run, a feature we've never seen in a configurator before. You have your mission and your cautions, now go play. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
