Supercharged Lotus Exige S Coming to the US

Finally. Lotus is sending its top-shelf hooch to the US, in the form of a superchargerd Exige S. The company anounced today that the near-supercar Exige is coming to the states in the form of a 220-hp version (a 16-percent lift from the base model). The coupe, which weighs in at 2,077 pounds, can get from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds (nearly a second faster than the base model) and to 100 mph in 11 seconds, under the command of a six-speed tranny. Top speed is 148 mph. The model also gets variable-revs cam switching, by way of its T4e engine control system. For you? $56,990. Operators are standing by.

would be a great weekend/track car, would definitely not want it as a daily driver. Looks like tons of fun though!

I really hope RICEMASTER is kidding as well, 0-60 the 335 may be able to hang, but once the corners hit it would be history. This is basically a race/track car that is street legal, there isn't much that could keep up with it, at any price.
