Auto Expess Review the Lotus Exige S

HERE

Looking good in white as well

but those wheels look awful skinny

Very interested to hear that the additional torque makes it a very practical/useable road car :sunglasses:

Still love the front but the rear is too Kim Kim Kardashian :frowning:

Agreed on all of the above

Can’t help but think it would have looked a LOT better with a better spoiler on the back. :frowning:

Dave - have you seen it in the flesh yet?

Personally, I agree it needs a different wing - maybe something similar to the Evora GTE

maybe with the end extensions

or just a “normal” wing

but the part that grows on me least at present is the plastic grating that surrounds the engine cover.

Whats the betting that someone from Lotus is watching all the various threads on forums for feedback. And some of the observations will be built into future Cup and R versions, then standard in its mid life facelift.

Certainly thats how GM used to do it after the launch of a new model, revisions were already being worked on.

Agree about the plastic grating…very cheap looking…bit of a shame really.

Oh… and the diamond cut alloys, Evora wheels much better

I think the diamond cut alloys are an option - so easy to ignore them if not required.

Look good on a Range Rover Sport but do seem an odd choice for a track-orientated car.

OI LOTUS … MAKE UP WITH QUAIFE !!!
…well JDS said they might take notice !
:wink:

if it’ a slippy diff you are after then they already have - the rally exige has one fitted…or at least the italian one does.

Cool …
Wonder if its clutch or helical …

I so want one of these cars.

Come on Lotus get the Cup version with 60-70kgs less and with a few more horses out soon cos we want one
