In February 2006, Lotus announced the Exige S model which used a supercharged Toyota engine producing 220 bhp would be made available in North American markets as a 2007 model. Powerful and light-weight, the Exige S weighs in at a svelte 2,057 lbs curb weight. Many have said it’s the perfect sports car representing a union of power to weight and absolute handling capability…we tend to agree.
