The Lotus Exige is one of the most outstanding race-cars available.
However, for people who are into mid-engine racers, then the 2012 Lotus Exige V6 Cup
is the answer. The V6 Cup is a special edition of the Exige S which has
been prohibited in America, since it did not meet airbag safety
standards.
This is a track-only car which means that it cannot be driven on public roads. This car will be available in two versions: track day edition and competition-Spec trim.
Engine
The V6 Cup comes with a 3.5L V6 engine that generates 346 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 4,500rpm. This power enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 171 mph.
Lotus made this vehicle “race ready” by adding features that include: multi-adjustable suspension system, and a Lotus-Dynamic-Performance-Management system. The latter enables the driver to operate between three driving modes: Sport, Race and Touring. Other performance related features are: racing roll cage, and option for 6-point or 4-point race harness.
Exterior
The V6 Cup has revised aerodynamic features found in the rear and front. Another notable features are the Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo tires that wrap the car's wheels. The car also comes with an aero-optimized front-splitter, and a rear wing. Generally, the V6 Cup weighs 2381 pounds, which is 200 lbs lighter than the Exige S.
Interior
Inside, you will encounter a total racing experience. Many racing gadgets have been incorporated including, a removable steering column, an FIA-compliant fire extinguisher, HANS-compliant race seats and adjustable suspension.
You should expect to see the V6 Cup (2012) in competitions including: Lotus Cup Europe, Hungary Lotus Cup (Ladies), Lotus Cup UK, Japan Lotus Cup and Lotus Cup Eastern-Europe among others.
With its powerful engine, the V6 Cup is most likely to outdo other models during those competitions. Only twenty of these are being made.
