This season is rather a big disappointment for the Lotus team in Formula 1 . It is not possible to follow up on last year's several podium positions or even wins , and the team is fighting at the very tail of the starting field. At least the road-going Exige S , dressed in its racing colors, can make him happy.
However, the black bodywork with gold and red elements does not only refer to the present, but also to the F1 team's glorious past. Ultimately, each of the 81 units produced commemorates a different important moment in F1 for Lotus, starting with the number 1 marking the team's first victory in Monaco in 1960 and ending with the number 81 marking Kimi Raikkonen's victory in Australia last year.
Each model is equipped with the Race Pack , featuring the Dynamic Performance Management system, high-performance disc brakes and gold wheels (17-inch front, 18-inch rear) with Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo tires. Those who cherish luxury equipment can order the Convenience Pack with cruise control, USB connectivity and cup holders, as well as heated seats or rear parking sensors.
The interior is upholstered in fabric and leather in a black and gold design with gold stitching, and you will also find an embroidered emblem on the headrest and on the seat. In addition, every Exige LF1 is equipped with air conditioning and a plaque with an individual model number.
Under the hood is a supercharged six-cylinder with a volume of 3.5 liters and an output of 350 horsepower. The maximum torque is 400 Nm and with a weight of 1176 kg , the modified Exige S accelerates to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and can go a maximum of 274 km/h.
If you buy this car from Lotus for a price of 62,900 pounds (approx. 2,132,000 CZK), you will also receive the Exige LF1 Membership . With the car, you get a tour of the car factory in Hethel for two, a tour of the F1 team management in Enstone, a 20% discount on original Lotus accessories and a 10% discount on accessories from the F1 collection, a 1:2 scale replica of Romain Grosjean's helmet , a Lotus pendant F1 and Lotus F1 USB drive.
