LOTUS EXIGE S - THE PINNACLE OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE!

Simply the best!!! I just can't put into words how raw and exhilarating this car was to experience. It's well and truly set the bar so high, that it seems unfair to compare it to others cars that I have reviewed. It's a go-kart on wheels and every second in this thing makes you want to sing!

This car is like a mental weapon. I discovered the Lotus 1 week ago when I got a lift with an client and the exige is now my absolute favorite car. I’ll buy one soon. It’s a real beauty. No luxury 100% performance = perfection

[johnmarble]

Will Lotus ever take their cars back to the US?
I would love to buy one.

[LawrenceTimme]

Wife said no, bought it anyway 😂😂😂 legend

Love the enthusiasm! It’s very difficult not to love a Lotus - they are special little machines. The only thing to improve the car would be to get the hardtop off. That would be bliss.

Absolutely stunning Exige. Great video as well!

I've been tuned in to this exact frequency of what car can provide an upper level of pure joy. It is key that one's head is maintained in the correct geo-stationary orbit to appreciate it as one of those costly life expansion opportunities. He's dead right about needing to chase a more aurally satisfying engine configuration to reach thatultimate pinnacle - I think this sounds great I must add. The pickup of revs would certainly get me looking on the approach, but much like a Golf R32, Audi RS3 (5 pots are pretty fucking rad)etc perhaps a little more interesting than the waves of XR6's, Subies, VY SS's, RB25 '33's that will always be good in their own way but over the years as the ears have become collectively rinsed out through familiarity and in turn some undeniable level of contempt manifested. Yeah a V10 to enjoy for sure - for me a more modest form perhaps an older M5 would be interesting. Thing about having the sports/supercar looks also is that when youre out and about and getting on it as able once people see and register what the hell it is, how good it looks, whats customised and whats OEM nowadays they arent surprised one is driving such a "capable" (non-shitbox obviously as the paint and wheels are simply too nice) Blah rant pfft sorry.
Kudos, this car is the shit. Dont care who Colin Chapman is. Nah, no engine swapping this unit. I'll just keep eyeing off those later model Evora S's and hope to scrape in something like an older P100D Model S soon to recoup some life points. No drama, less mess and fuss traffic carving fuelless under the radar would be epic for a short while/recoup those demerits.
Loved the review bloke - speaking to the hearts of many .So honestly amusing to hear it oncemore described.
P.S.-. I swear you are saying "Hia" as opposed to literally "here" - there I said it. Pronunciation eh.
Keen to see any Aussie "IS300" upgraded from BEAMS Lexii out there. 2JZ equipped sedan being overlooked less and less of late - a serious on. Official request for the channel IF and WHEN. Chz.

I miss my exige a lot i have to say. It was running 280bhp with stage 2 exhaust, tune, injectors, fuel pump and induction. The only reason i sold it was that it was a 2nd car and was a pain to keep clean, taxed, tested etc after the initial novelty began to wear off.

On a summer day there was nothing better though.

[jasonsee]

I asked Lotus to let me know if they are going to have a sales track day in UK and they said they are considering it, modern car from the raw 90s 👍

[constantinrenoir]

Great job and great video man! For next driving videos with manual cars, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? :)

[twpocta]

Sweet car. I have a 2007 Exige S as well, was wondering what you wheel and tire set up is? Also thought I heard you lowered the suspension by 22mm?? Was that right?

[sintigma]

Superb color and spaceship sound

Whats the manifold and exhaust setup???

[michaelrobson]

Great video!

I bought a 2008 s240 also with the LSD and 1320 super charger. I'm in Sydney. Where are you based? Where do you (or the owner) get work done? At Simply Sports cars in Artarmon or you have an alternative? Thanks heaps mate!

Oh just heard you drove 10 hours from Sydney, so assuming Melbourne?

[MkMale]

So your mate took a Lotus and turned it into something it was never meant to be. Well done for not getting the Lotus ethos.

[wenzo]

wasnt this car for sale a few months ago? v nice

[spaghetti]

sorry if i missed it. but did you ever end up selling the ls3 supra? where is it now?

[LawrenceTimme]

It's a shame it's so uncomfortable. Don't really see the point having such a light car so stiff with a bad seat. Even race cars have a decent seat even if the suspension is hard. It's important to be somewhat comfortable in the seat so you can consertrate on the race.

[PeteAnda]

Its a Lotus, it is what they do. Shame it’s dead and the world is VW blandness. Thanks mate for expressing what is now over.

[trujuancamilo]

If you actually find one today it will cost more than it did new. No thanks. Wife said get a new corvet better.

[annielaquieze]

Blabla blabla... fucking...be polite please!
