Lotus Exige coupe is a famous high performance with a deserved reputation for choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance on both road and track.
Lotus has always pursued efficiency and fuel economy and the Lotus Exige S, Lotus has reduced its emissions to only 199 g / km of CO2 emissions and increased fuel economy of 8.5 l/100 km impressive on the European combined cycle official and a frugal 6.5 liters / 100 km on the official website of the European extra-urban cycle.

The model year also sees the introduction of some significant changes in the Lotus Exige to improve the appearance and improve aerodynamics.
A new redesigned front and rear spoiler, which not only reduces drag but also makes him look more muscular, retractable best light around the car.
The composite wing at the rear is based on designs Exige GT3 concept road car shown at Geneva in 2007. Compared to 2009-model year Exige wing mounted tailgate is 181 mm wide and mounted 46 mm higher and 61 mm further back. It is attached to the hull at the rear through the plates at the rear which not only increases the rigidity of the whole structure, but also ensures that the ventilation as much as possible on the pass rear fender. This careful management of air increases stability, reduces drag, and above all, maintains the impressive figure of 42 kg of support to 160 km / h.

The redesigned front includes a larger intake air mouth angle to help channel more air into the radiator, improving engine efficiency. Ahead of the front wheels on both sides of the main opening, two more air intake increases the airflow to the twin oil coolers. Horizontal cutting blades of the oil cooler air intake in order to stabilize the air flow to further enhance cooling efficiency.

The Exige is a workhorse of classic design to the objectives that we have made adjustments have reduced the friction, clean airflow around the front and rear of the car, while maintaining a number balanced impressive support to boost performance of exciting. "Specification of the highly successful model of 2009 years Exige Cup 260, presented at the Paris Motor Show 2008 has not changed.
