Lotus Exige S260

Lightness and power, 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds

The Exige S260 adds lightness and power to push the performance envelope even further. Lotus Founder Colin Chapman says, “Adding power makes you faster on the straights; adding lightness makes you faster everywhere.” The new 2009 Lotus Exige S260 does both. Through the extensive use of carbon fiber panels to replace the front lower splitter, front access panels at the base of the windshield, roof, rear engine cover, side air intake ducts and rear wing, the Exige S260 crosses the scales approximately 50 pounds lighter than the S 240.
yet with 17 more horsepower.

The improved power-to-weight ratio enables the S260 to rocket through 0 – 60 mph in just 4.0 blurred seconds and Lotus’ renowned world-leading chassis dynamics keep the S260 poised through whatever curves you carve it through.
