The Exile was one of the most focused from-the-factory performance car available in the US.
For 2008, the new Exige S 240 had 20 hp extra compared to the previous model, thanks to the roof-mounted air scoop designed to force more air into the supercharger. The small track vehicle had a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that developed 220 hp. While it might not sound much, the light weight body helped it reach 100 kph in around 4.1 seconds, which was similar to other sports cars with around 500 hp.
The 2-seater, high performance coupe, was available in two styles: the Exige S and the Exige S 240 . The standard equipment for the Exige S included 16-inch alloys in the front and 17-inch at the back, ventilated brakes, a performant suspension, air conditioning, power windows and lock, as well as nicely crafted sport seats with black cloth upholstery and a 4-speaker audio system.
The more powerful Exige S 240 had larger brake discs, a variable traction control and launch control.
Available for both version, the Touring Pack included additional sound insulation, an auxiliary audio jack and leather upholstery, leather door panels, leather handbrake and a leather-wrapped center console.
Safety wise, the Exige only came with ABS and traction control, however, stability control and airbags were not available. And it only makes sense, as the Exige needed to be as light as possible to perform well on the track.
