2012 Lotus Exige S Stings Like a Bee!

We never thought of linking the world of super-light sportscars with the famous word of Muhammed Ali, “float like a butterfly, sting like the bee”, but looking at Lotus’ first advert for the brand new Exige S, it all starts to make sense.
After all, the car has everything a boxer needs, and the link is finally clicking in our minds. Yeah, the Lotus Exige is now a heavyweight contender!

First off, thanks to a new front end, it looks ready to scare the opponent out with a bit of help from a new growl coming from the back.

Since this still follows the British automaker’s concept for lightness, it will dodge all the punches.

But the biggest change is the 3.5-liter 350 horsepower supercharged V6 that ensures it can box with the best of them.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
