The supercharged Exige S joins the lineup. Compared to the standard Exige, the S offers 30 more horsepower (now 220) and an extra 27 pound-feet of torque (now 165), while delivering 0-60 runs around the 4-second mark.

  EXIGE S - PURE RACER - 2007 Lotus Exige
  By "Mr Lotus" - May 24 - 9:56 am

  My 2d season with the 07 (1st year) Exige S. This is a pure race car on or off the track and is built around acceleration, handling and braking - it is arguably the best handling car on the road. This is why a strong driver who knows the cars capabilities can win over other high end cars both American and European. It must be understood that to arrive at the final equation of this cars performance there entailed certain cons built-in. But you must maximize the cars capabilities to overcome its modest top-end when competing with other racers. And get a Valentine 1 or be prepared to get multiple tickets or -- be prepared to ditch the 5.0 as the ol chap found out last night - not rec.

  The most fun on four wheels - 2007 Lotus Exige
  By AZExigeS - August 16 - 8:43 pm

  The 2007 Lotus Exige S is very quick and handles like its on rails. The only other car I want is a Pagani Zonda. My comments: do NOT buy this car if you want luxury. There is hardly anything inside except bare aluminum. Buy a Cayman S instead. DO buy this car if you are a real enthusiast and intend to take it to the race track on the weekends. This is a race car built by a company with Formula One heritage.

  Take It To The Track! - 2007 Lotus Exige
  By Exige_S - June 30 - 11:33 pm

  This is it. THE car Ive wanted for so many years. Ive had everything from a 68 Shelby GT350 to a 66 Sunbeam Tiger, even a pair of 02 Miata SEs, but this car shines above them all. The control you have is beyond anything else on the street. Its not the fastest or quickest car, but it feels like it is. It even looks fast sitting still. Everyone wants to race, talk about, touch or drive it and lots of people take pictures of it. Even kids love it. Its one of those cars that kids of all ages get to "drive" in video games, and when they see it on the street its almost as if youre looking at a Matchbox car. It has race-car looks but you can drive it on the street... AND the track!
