Lotus Exigesport380 2017 Owner's Manual

COUPÉ & ROADSTER

High powered, highly evolved, and ferociously fast, the Lotus
Exige Sport 380 is the most aggressive iteration yet for the
Exige model line up. Available as either a Coupé or Roadster
the Sport 380 combines power with style.

Taking the fight straight to six-figure supercars, this new,
top-of-the-range model carries over the lessons learnt in the
development of the acclaimed Exige Sport 350, launched last
year, but with significant revisions lowering weight, boosting
power and enhancing aerodynamics.
Rather than rely on excess electronics, or allow sterile
interfaces to dull the experience, the extreme Exige Sport 380
offers a pure, undiluted drive that has to be experienced to be
fully appreciated.

Designed as unrivalled in its class: faster, sharper, and more
direct than adversaries, the Exige Sport 380 is definitely not
for the timid. With a dry weight of just 1,075 kg, and boasting
a potent power-to-weight ratio of 350 hp per tonne, the new,
pure-bred Lotus has been conceived to out perform and out
manoeuvre so called supercars. The new Exige is blisteringly
fast off the line, dispatching 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds before
reaching a top speed of 178 mph (150 mph for Roadster)

From the intricately engineered exposed-gear-change
linkage, to the swathes of carbon-fibre components and wider
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres as standard, ever y inch of
the Exige has been carefully cultivated. Firmly defined as a
Lotus for the enthusiast, the car can be seen as an expression
of intense engineering - challenging accomplished drivers to
extract the car’s true potential.

The optional Carbon Exterior Pack, which reduces weight
above the centre of gravity, contains a one-piece carbon roof
panel and distinctive carbon louvered tailgate, and cuts the
car’s mass by 3.4 kg. The optional lightweight carbon fibre sill
covers provide a motorsport theme when entering or exiting
the Exige Sport 380 and, thanks to their lower profile and
finish, aid ingress and egress.

For owners wanting more, the new Exige Sport 380 can
be personalised through the increasingly popular Lotus
Exclusive programme. Combining traditional British
craftsmanship with modern design, the ser vice inspires
customers to spend time tailoring the character of their Lotus
with a comprehensive array of options.
