Lotus has unveiled the Exige S Club Racer, a track-focused version of the standard Exige S.
Available only as a coupe model, the car possesses 42 kg of aerodynamic downforce at 160 km/h, thanks to the front splitter, rear wing and flat underside, all contributing to its performance and handling balance.
At 1161 kg, it is lighter by 15 kg compared to the Exige S, because of its new lightweight battery, lightweight centre console in body colour, lighter doors and lightweight sports seats in leather or Alcantara with colour coded stitching. Traction slip thresholds (‘Drive‘, ‘Sport’ and ‘Race’ settings) allowing the driver enhanced vehicle control before intervention is required can be altered via a driver-selectable switch which is now fitted as standard. Both ‘Sport’ and ‘Race’ settings increase throttle responsiveness.
There aren’t any changes in the powertrain department so this new version comes with the same supercharged V6 3.5-liter engine developing 345 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 400 Nm at 4,500 rpm. It sprints from 0-100 km/h in 4 seconds and tops out at 274 km/h.
The Exige S Club Racer is available in Metallic White, Exige Orange, Metallic Yellow and Matt Black (option). The front splitter, rear wing, front access panel, roof panel, wing mirrors and rear transom are in matt black. Club Racer decals inside on the dashboard and seats and outside above the side indicator identify this latest special addition to the Exige range.
