The 2009 Lotus Exige is the slightly sportier sibling of the already-sporty Lotus Elise. The mid-engine 2-seat Exige comes only as a coupe in S and S 240 models. The S has a 218-horsepower supercharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, the S 240 a 240-horsepower version; both are fed by a functional roof-mounted air scoop.
The only transmission offered is a 6-speed manual. ABS is standard, but an antiskid system is not available; nor are front-side airbags or curtain-side airbags. Other standard features include air conditioning, power windows, and remote power door locks. Options include leather upholstery and interior trim, limited-slip differential, and a Track Pack with adjustable shock absorbers.
