Not sure about this, S2’s are already too lardy!
Who you calling lardy!
Actually I love the idea of a V6, it’s another step closer to a modern day Stratos
I’m getting a sense of deja vu on this one. Didn’t we have the exact same story last summer?
A nice light high revving V8 is what’s required
An even greater weight % over the rear, genius idea!
How gay does the shot from the rear look!
Ah the Stratos, one of the most sideways cars ever made… I suspect it might be due to the weight just over the rear wheels, great rally car I aleays wanted one of the replica kit cars but could never afford one
Like 80s shoulder pads!
Wasn’t there a horrid purple body kit that once did something similar?

I wouldn’t even consider the car in the pics as anything other than a “test mule”
I’m sure you all noticed that the car is wearing 03 plates. A quick check on the DVLA web site reveals its capacity as 1798cc. A very small V6 then. Or did they lie on the V55/5???
I wouldn’t get it too. I want a small powerful and hysteric engine in a car like the Exige. I drove the Elise 111r long time ago with the Toyota engine and thought it was quite dull. The flat constant torque curve is nice for drivability in my average Corolla but in the Exige it should sputter, cough and when desired delivery insane peaky performance. So why not continue with the superchargers…Sure there is more power to get from it.
Best go for a Honda then.
It’s in, 39 days left untill I can drive it
one here up and running
