Lotus Cars redesign it's Lotus Exige S and unveiled it at the 2009 Tokyo International Motorshow. It's latest special edition - the Exige Scura, so called due to its dramatic matt black and carbon fiber theme,
Scura actually means 'dark' in Italian. And as such, this special edition Lotus Exige features matte black paint, contrasting glossy black stripes and carbon-fiber accents. The 260-hp supercharged and inter-cooled 1.8-liter engine from the Exige Cup 260 is used as the power plant. This lightweight dynamo sheds an additional 10kg with massive amounts of carbon-fiber strewn inside and out. Sprints from 0 to 60 mph take just over 4 seconds with 100 mph surpassed in under 10 seconds. Top speed is rated at 152 mph.
This nifty Lotus comes with launch control, traction control as well as adjustable outlines dampers. Pricing and availability has been announced but sadly enough it doesn't look like the 2010 Lotus Exige Scura is destined for the states. Only 35 models will be built in total. In Britain, pricing has been set at £45,000, while those customers in the EU will have to cough up close to €61.000 on average (depending on country).
