Supercars May Cry
Even if we see it as a genuine supercar, the latest Lotus released for this crackling 2016 is going to be placed in a much wider range and also accessible for those who do not have an XXL size wallet. In fact costing less than € 100,000, the Exige Sport 380 comes as a battering ram that is going to crash into a glass wall … you can imagine the consequences. It weighs 1.066kg and thanks to a careful and cautious work that touches and further refine both the performance compartment and the aerodynamics, delivers 375hp (about 352 per ton), and thus becomes the most powerful street legal Exige ever produced, needing only 3,5 seconds to take from 0 to 100.
There is so much to say and even more is all that you will discover once you climb aboard, as the most visceral driving experience will be the one you’ll live being immersed in its carbon shell, surrounded by a cockpit reduced to the bone and an aerodynamic kit that can generate up to 140kg of downforce. The updates keep going under the aesthetic point of view, always maintaining a functional purpose, such as the new rear diffuser, the new spoiler or the slits on the engine compartment, similar to those fitted on the Evora 410 Sport, but more convincing and in line with the rest of the car. Brutal, fast, pure. You won’t ask for more than an adequate road for its potential – and for two attributes that could let you drive it to the limit.
