Lotus Exige S Roadster '12

​

The Lotus Exige/ɛɡˈziːʒ/ is a two-door, two-seat sports car made by Lotus Cars since 2000. It is essentially a coupé version of the Lotus Elise. A few weeks before the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Lotus announced they would "blow the top off " at the show. Lotus has decided to bring out their fastest roadster ever to date: the Exige S Roadster.

Based off the Series 3 Exige S, the exterior of the Lotus Exige S Roadster is almost identical to the coupe model there’s a new front splitter that eliminates the broken lines found on the previous model and newly designed headlamps. The coupe’s rear spoiler has also been dropped.

The Lotus Exige S Roadster is powered by the same engine found in the coupe model: a supercharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine with race-derived technologies that delivers a total of 345 horsepower. The engine is mated to a stanard six-speed manual gearbox, but is also be available with Lotus' Serial Precision Shift (SPS), a paddle-operated automated manual transmission which makes driving a more relaxed experience in the city and more F1-like when it’s let off its leash.

The sports car also comes with two different suspension settings: a standard suspension for an active driving experience suited for public roads and an optional setting as part of the Race Pack for maximum performance, developed for track use. The launch control system can be activated when the car is in Race mode.

It is essentially a coupé version of the Lotus Elise.

... Uhm, so why is this car called an Exige Roadster, when you can simply call it... an Elise? Too much ale, maybe?

Why would you even make a thread for an useless version of an already suggested car that has a quite good amount of likes?

That's referring to the Series 1 Exige, Series 2 and 3 are already very different from the Elise.

To annoy the heck out of you.
