As if the current Lotus Elise/Exige wasn’t light enough, fast enough, or looked good enough – the engineers over at the UK based manufacture have taken the platform to a whole new level. Thanks in part to extensive carbon fiber work, the latest Cup 260 edition of the Lotus Exige has shed ANOTHER 80lbs and now tips the scales at a mere 1962lbs. To make the point about dropping weight stick, Lotus ALSO bumped horsepower, pushing the Supercharged Toyota 2ZZ motor to a peak of 257hp/238ft-lbs.
To round out the package, Bilstein Shocks and Eibach Springs have been installed and super sticky Yokohama A048 LTS tires ensure all the power makes it to the pavement.
