The New Lotus Exige Sport 350 is...

… Wild. Lotus made it about 112 pounds lighter than the previous Exige S. And the 345-horsepower V6 launches it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

On a side note, this is one of the most Top Gear-esque promo videos we’ve seen.

Has a road going Lotus ever had a V6 before?

And if I'm right, the Evora's V6 is lifted almost directly from the Toyota Sienna.

My only issue with that is- why do people think that wheel spin and over steer = a car that handles well. To me, that means a car that handles like crap.

And wheel spin on a wet surface? Who needs 345hp to do that?
