2008 Lotus Exige S 240 - The Car Who Must Not Be Named

This car has factory upgraded interior options such as full leather, extra sound insulation and a premium stereo with iPod connector. There are performance upgrades with the Track Package that includes the wheels, tires, suspension and braking. Also this Exige has the rarer Limited Slip Differential which includes Variable Traction and Launch Control. For the first time, traction control is variable-the base setting is 0-percent rear tire slippage, and you can dial that up to 10 percent.

The 2008 Exige S 240 is the world’s most powerful street-legal production car to date, in its engine class. You will turn a lot of heads in this car not to mention belong to a class of drivers that live off adrenaline and premium gas! With unrivaled handling, the new Exige S 240 sprints to 60 MPH in a blistering 4.0 seconds and sails past 100 MPH in less than 10 seconds. The quickness and precision of the steering response make the Exige feel as if it's laser-guided. With an excellent fuel economy of 26 mpg highway, this car has it all! From pure racing heritage to cutting edge technology and world-leading ride and handling, Lotus’ Exige models are in a league of their own. The S 240 has 20 horsepower and six pound-feet more than the base Exige thanks to a remapped engine-management computer, higher-flow injectors, and a repositioned roof-mounted air scoop. For competition-style standing starts, electronic launch control has been fitted and by following a set sequence, like an astronaut preparing for lift-off, then it's foot to the floor, revs hanging at your set rpm limit, a clutch drop, some wheel spin, a bit of tire smoke, and you're gone! You won't scatter the clutch doing this, because a clutch damper has been fitted to meter engagement so the clutch neither slips nor explodes. Lotus’ Exige models are instruments of pure driving bliss!

The Exige is not just a track day enthusiasts’ car, but a sublime sports car that’s equally at home on the back roads, motorways and autobahns as it is on city streets and race tracks. Performance technology including variable traction and launch control, allow the Exige S 240 to cater to the individual driving style of its owner! The Exige S 240 is a real sports car that redefines the term, “extreme performance!!”
