Andy_Bangle Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Lotus is enhancing its range, as it chopped off the roof of the Exige S creating the Roadster, which just made its official appearance in a video, announcing potential buyers that the car is “ready for the summer." Lotus says it is their fastest-ever drop top model, a topless offering that gets its motivation from the now-familiar 3.5-litre V6 engine, which is boosted by a supercharger to 345 hp (350 PS) – the unit is identical to that of the hardtop model. The benchmark sprint is dealt with in four seconds dead, and the top speed is 233 km/h, or 145 mph – ~41 km/h (25 mph) lower than that of the fixed-roof variant.

Tipex Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hmm, while i think that is a bit special, I don't think it goes far enough, a proper convertible would have a better bet imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Wait wait - but the Exige is an Elise with a hard top in order to make it a bit tauter. So an Exige without a roof is... what, exactly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduisbergkid Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well, I like it, but wonder what it means for the Elise and Evora. I'm still waiting for the financial convergence of my savings account upwards curve and the Evora's depreciation downwards curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well, I like it, but wonder what it means for the Elise and Evora. A slow, lingering death I imagine. So no change, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
