2006 Lotus Exige Cup
Lotus Sport, the motor sport division of Lotus Cars Ltd., developed a higher performance
version of the 2006 Model Year Lotus Exige, the Lotus Exige Cup 240
Price: 44,000
Located, Westfield Massachusetts
This is a factory made Race Car, and not a street legal vehicle.
Developed for track use straight out of the box.
The Lotus Exige Cup cars are based on the new 2006 Model Year Exige and are
completely track ready sports coupes with uprated clutch, sports exhaust, adjustable
suspension, uprated brakes, limited slip differential, switchable traction control, a T45 steel
roll-over hoop and A-Frame with harness mounts, fuel and ignition kill switches and a fully
plumbed in fire extinguisher system.
An FIA approved 6 point roll cage is a no cost option. The Cup 240 uses a supercharged and intercooled high revving 1.8 litre four cylinder engine producing 243hp (181 kw). This vast amount of extra power and torque mean that the cam change between the low and high speed now takes place at around 4000 rpm, giving a smooth and linear surge of power from 4000 rpm all the way to the maximum 8300 rpm. The Roots-type Eaton M62 supercharger is run from the crankshaft, and has an integral bypass valve for part load operation.
