The exige is like a …
The exige is like a hardcore elise, more downforce, slicker tyres (therefore more grip) and faster off the line but don’t get me wrong the elise is still a quick car. The exige has harder suspension and has a fixed hardtop so you can’t take the roof off also you cant see through the rear window.
So.. if you want a lotus for its track performance, get an exige or if you want a lotus to go out in on a nice day and have fun, get an elise [even better get an SC, very close to exige performance]

The Exige generates …
The Exige generates much more downforce than the Elise due to the aerodynamics. When I was at Lotus/Hethel anniversary day last year, I went for passenger laps in both, and the Exige is even more amazing than the Elise with Lotus test drivers at the wheel. He reckoned, on the full track, the Exige would be 4 seconds or more faster than an Elise. That’s a lot, considering Hethel is a smallish track. The Exige is a pretty hardcore machine though… not very practical or comfortable. I want one!

why does the …
why does the end of the elise slide out so much. just because of tires?
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Exige S in the …
Exige S in the video as tested is about 220bhp. Elise S as in the video is about 135bhp.
They were just playing with eachother for the camera. Of course the Exige would be much faster in all areas of performance due to the track-rubber it wears and the track-optimised suspension.

the yellow one is …
the yellow one is the Elise and the white one is the Exige
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

This clip has me all choked up.
Driving these cars is about as good as it gets. Peace.

To make this closer …
To make this closer the Elise should have the hard top installed, since the car is slower without it due to drag.
Both great cars!
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
which ones which?
which ones which?

the exige in this …
the exige in this clip is exige s, hear the supercharger whine… that’s why it’s pulling on the elise so strong every time.

lol 2 great drivers …
lol 2 great drivers O.O
i loved it

given less than 15% …
given less than 15% difference in horsepower the exige shouldn’t pull faster in the way the video shows – such difference is not vigorous enough for sudden passes! of course also the elise shouldn’t pass like it did!
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
funny thing is you …
funny thing is you can see the exige play with the elise, better handling, as you watch the back end kick out on the elise, the exige’s holds, then passes
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
yeah, the exige you …
yeah, the exige you can’t really see out of the back “window”
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
this woulda been …
this woulda been cool if it wasnt all…. fast and the furious like.

I was at lotus …
I was at lotus Factory today and they had one tesla that they had built it was a black one and I asked the tour guide if it was a tesla and he denied all knowledge. until the end of the tour when he told me i was right. he also could not tell me anymore other than it was built their!
May 30th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Yeah, the white one …
Yeah, the white one is the exige. I don’t like the video editing in this one. It’s hard to tell when one is actually pulling away from or passing the other, or just gaining on him. I doubt the elise would end up in front with equal drivers.

the car on top gear …
the car on top gear was an exige s. I’m pretty sure the one in this video is also an exige s
