Lotus Exige V6
After a nine-month hiatus, our spy photographers have once again caught up with Lotus’ mysterious Exige prototype. This crafty camouflage is hiding the next Exige – but nothing was able to hide the evidence of the 3.5-liter V6 from our spies.
With the Exige now in its 10th year of production, Lotus is developing an all-new model to replace the aging coupe. But a new body isn’t all that’s in store for the next Exige as Lotus engineers are readying a more powerful engine package for the two-door sports car.
The current Exige is available with a few variations of Toyota’s 1.8L four-cylinder, with the most powerful version putting out 243 horsepower. However, the prototype seen here is powered by the same 3.5L V6 found in the Evora, generating 276 horsepower.
To go along with that added power, expect the next-generation Exige to feature adequate chassis and suspension upgrades. Judging by the latest shots, the next Exige will grow in length and track.
No word on when the next Exige might debut, but keep an eye peeled for new details.
