The Exige S260 adds lightness and power to push the performance envelope even further.
Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus is attributed as saying "adding power makes you faster on the straights; adding lightness makes you faster everywhere" and this statement is more relevant today than it ever has been. The new 2009 Lotus Exige S260 does both! Through the extensive use of carbon fiber panels to replace the front lower splitter, front access panels at the base of the windshield, roof, rear engine cover, side air intake ducts and rear wing, the Exige S260 crosses the scales approximately 50 pounds lighter than the S 240 yet it also has an additional 17 horsepower on tap to propel it through whatever street scene or track experience you wish to throw at it.
The improved power-to-weight ratio enables the S260 to rocket through 0 – 60 mph in just 4.0 blurred seconds and Lotus’ renowned world-leading chassis dynamics keep the S260 poised through whatever curves you carve it through. The new Lotus Exige S260 is an instrument of pure driving bliss.
