Good day to you all,
I’m having serious problems deciding whether to buy or not a new exige (240 performance), I would use it as all days car. I simply love it and the new one with launch control is stunning. And I’m sure I’ll buy it at the end.
I was wondering if anybody knows if a new exige will be out and when? I mean, I buy the car today and next year a new exige will be producted?
And since I’m here… What about the gt3?
Is there any launch date, price, pictures and specs?
Thanks for the quick answer.
I meant is there an EXIGE S3 coming out soon?
I’ll be buying:
Exige S performance, sport pack, touring pack, Xenon lamps, step 2 exhaust. Artic silver, with bordeaux leather full interior (as Europa S) and silver wheels.
After, (the day after) i will be mounting:
Lamborghini style doors.
Red brake calipers
Full carpet set
4 point seatbelts
Non airbag steering wheel (old model) it’s smaller and nicer
where the radio stands there will be turbo gauge, oil temp and water temp
A console hand made will be mounted to hold 2" dinn tv radio and vavigation as well.
Crikey you really do a have a shopping list don’t you, best just to buy the most powerfull S2 you can get your hands on today, throw the body, brakes, interior away and start again.

and maybe 6 speed f1 gearbox
That’s what I have in my mind for it.
A turbo gauge…wow, that’ll be useful.
An F1 gearbox, cool…how about an engine that it will fit to?
Lambo doors, sweet… can’t wait for the pictures.
An Italian dealer and mechanic named pb racing www.pbracing.it sells the 6 speed f1 gearbox for exige S2 for 12’500�. It is slightly lightweighted respect the manual original one
The lambo doors are sold on the e-bay for about 200 bucks ($)
The 2" din with navi+tv 7 inch is sold all togather for aprox 400�
The gauges, (I found them black colour like the new tachimeter) are sold for aporx 80� each check them out at:
The dashboard is made of wood which is empty in certain parts to avoy too much weight and covered in the leather colour of the interior. It will be placed under the central air vents (under radio replaced by gauges)
Interior is made from re-trimming and all the “cockpit” (parts of seat door pannels dashboard ecc. would cost: 300� of leather and 700� of trimming. In Italy many people do this job. and is not as expensive).
You can find very good quality carpet for the metal parts you want to cover at 20� per meter, I need 4 meters.
At the end of the story… The car weighs no more than 4 Kg more the original.
Why on gods earth would you want to put ‘lambo’ doors on an Exige?? Its hard enough to get in already? Not only that but you’ll attract the vauxhall nova crew attention…
A games console and a TV in there? Is this for real?
I’d suggest that if you are going to be changing so many things on the car, then you might as well get a tidy second hand ‘S’ and then have something like the Komotec 280 kit added. It would cost less than buying a fully specced new, and offer enough hp to pull around the extras you are adding.
I’m from Italy. And unfortunately the only thing is that the 240 performance are few and brand new. I’ll be testing one on Sat.
The door kit is very very particular, it fits all the cars, universally. It’s tough to get into normally let’s see with the doors mounted verically. But i think the result will be great. And if it’s un confortable or whatever the car doors will open in normal way. The kit provides both opening! But must be installed by a professionist.
Actually as i saw your replies… All the modifications that will be done will be made for confort. Thats all. I love the car (it’s since when I saw the first S2). I will be using it daily and i liked all the accessories. That’s all. I don’t want a delorean of back to the future. I’ll have fun to “build” the car around my lifestyle. And as I repeat hte car at max will weigh 4kg more.
