Lotus announced it will debut the fastest Exige in Lotus history at this October’s Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. Dubbed the Lotus Exige Sport 240, the car will feature a 240 horsepower supercharged engine, a limited-slip rear differential, electronic launch control and adjustable traction control. The Exige Sport 240 will be offered exclusively in the Australian market.
The Sport 240 will out-accelerate the Exige S, taking just 4.2 seconds to go from 0-62, and will hit a top speed of about 155 mph. The Sport 240 will also feature a new performance-oriented air conditioning system. The new system will only weigh 33 pounds and features a sensor that turns off the compressor at full-throttle to preserve maximum performance. The Sport 240 will hit showrooms shortly after its October debut, although pricing has yet to be announced.
