2008 Lotus Exige
Vehicle Summary: 2008 Lotus Exige
The diminutive Lotus Exige coupe is a quick and nimble sports car that can outrun many costlier competitors. A 190-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine is standard. A 220-hp supercharged version is also offered, and an optional Performance Pack adds 20 more horses and pushes this lightweight car to 60 miles per hour in just four seconds. A six-speed manual is the only available gearbox. As is Lotus' tradition, the Exige delivers sharp handling. Both interior space and comfort and convenience features are at a premium. An open-air roadster version is sold as the Lotus Elise.
