Lotus
Exige S240
Notes
The Lotus Exige S240 is a high-performance, track-focused sports car introduced in 2008 as an upgraded variant of the Exige lineup. Powered by a 1.8L supercharged inline-four engine sourced from Toyota, the S240 produces 240 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque, providing rapid acceleration in a lightweight chassis. The combination of the supercharged engine and low curb weight—around 2,000 pounds—allowed the Exige S240 to achieve a 0-60 mph time of just 4 seconds.
The Exige S240’s design emphasizes aerodynamics and downforce, featuring a large rear wing, front splitter, and side intakes, all of which contribute to increased stability and grip at high speeds. The car comes equipped with a sport-tuned suspension, high-performance brakes, and sticky track-focused tires, making it highly agile and responsive. Inside, the S240 has a minimalistic, race-inspired cockpit, often with optional lightweight seats, exposed aluminum surfaces, and few amenities to keep weight down.
The Exige S240 is celebrated among enthusiasts for its purity and focus on driving dynamics, offering an intense, driver-focused experience that’s well-suited to track days and spirited driving on winding roads. Its lightweight construction, supercharged power, and precise handling make it a favorite among sports car purists.
