Lotus Cars NZ Ltd

The Exige S is a real sportscar that redefines the term, “extreme performance”.

With 90.5 kw/litre (121 hp/litre, 123 PS/litre), it is one of the most powerful production cars in the world for its engine size.

The Exige S is not just a track day enthusiasts' car, but a sublime sportscar that's equally at home on the back roads, motorways and autobahns as it is on city streets and race tracks.

So what does the acceleration feel like in a Lotus Exige S? Truly addictive, giving a safe, but exhilarating experience that you can only get from such a finely-honed sportscar. The Exige S sprints to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.3 exhilarating seconds.

The Exige S can also be tailored to your requirements through a range of factory fitted ‘option packs' and dealer fitted accessories.

This car does not just demand to be driven – it actively encourages you to do so through it's addictive personality.
