The new Lotus Exige V6 Cup builds upon the success of the previous Series 2 Exige Cup 240/255 and 260 during the 2012 season. Based upon the road-]going Exige S, the lightweight V6 Cup is powered by a 3.5 litre supercharged V6 engine driving through a 6-speed close ratio gearbox and for the first time an optional race specification 6 speed paddle operated sequential gearbox, providing more than enough performance for racers and track enthusiasts.
Designed to compete in the globally successful Lotus Cup series, the Exige V6 Cup has been developed by Lotus Racing to provide the driver with a car that offers levels of handling and acceleration capable of taming Europe’s most demanding racetracks.
