Lotus Exige: more than just a hardtop Elise

The Lotus Exige is “adult entertainment for lovers of hard-core sports cars,” according to Edmunds. “Don’t think of it merely as a hardtop Elise: Doors aside, every panel on the car is different. Everything in its design — from the unique front splitter past the carefully crafted hardtop to the bold rear wing — is there not to make you look good in front of the neighbors … but to exploit the airflow over the car, coercing it into pressing the Exige ever harder onto the road as speeds increase.” Unlike many road cars that are designed to reduce lift, the Exige creates “actual, proper, positive” downforce. “The Exige has it, enough to add the weight of a person sitting on the roof at 100 mph.”
