Lotus Exige T3


The closest thing to a racecar on the road - a Go Kart with a roof. They both apply to the Elise. It is a very pure direct driving experience but the thing you notice more than anything is just how responsive a light car is.
Lotus Exige
Track focused, lightweight, powerful and British. The Lotus Exige has on eof the best chassis eer made and is able to reel in more expensive machinery. Listed below are all the experiences which include the Lotus Exige.

Specifically designed with track driving in mind. This highly focused, lightweight sports car produces near race like responses. The Lotus Exige is a big step on from the Lotus Elise and still follows Colin Chapman’s design philosophy.
The all aluminium monocoque and light composite bodywork is propelled by Toyota's powerful and high revving 189 bhp engine. The rear wing and front splitter produce real down force which can be felt on the fast sweeping corners at Thruxton circuit.
The Lotus Exige is an intensive driving experience. Your instructor will help develop your driving skills as you enjoy your time behind the wheel. We Guarantee you willl notice a big difference between the way you drove on the first few laps and the last.
