2010 Lotus Exige S 260 Sport - Car and Driver
With all Lotus cars, heart-pounding thrills come by way of lightness. The total weight savings add up to 60 pounds less than an Exige S, or 2000 at the curb. The supercharged, 1. 8-liter Toyota four-cylinder makes 17 more horsepower than the step-down S 240 model by way of engine-software adjustments. We’ve hit that mark 0. 2 second sooner in the heavier, 220-hp S. Also, we had an S 260 at our recent Lightning Lap event , where it failed to navigate Virginia International Raceway’s 4. 1-mile Grand Course any quicker than the 220-hp Exige S did... The ProBax seats in the standard Exige keep your body in place with an unexpected amount of comfort, further encouraging a base-model purchase. And remember, all this stuff made the Exige S 260 no quicker on one of America’s premier racetracks. However, no Exige pinches on the fun-to-drive factor. Source: www.caranddriver.com
