The Exige V6 Cup is the high powered, low weight, dedicated track car for North America made by Lotus. The lightweight V6 Cup is powered by a 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine that drives through a 6-speed close-ratio gearbox. Adjustable race suspension and both front and rear anti-roll bars are employed in conjunction with the 4-way adjustable DPM (Dynamic Performance Management) package to provide the Exige V6 Cup with crisp handling that works with the driver. All in all, this car wasn’t built to drive on a track, it was made to own it.
