Exige S Roadster: Lotus unleashes beautiful beast

That breathy sound you're hearing is the collective sigh of Lotus fans and roadster lovers the world over. The Exige S Roadster will be the Brit's fastest roadster ever, with an eye-watering 0-100 km/h time of 4 seconds flat; 0-100 takes 8.5 seconds, and its top speed is 233 km/h, all thanks to a supercharged 3.5-litre V6, a six-speed manual shifter, and a feathery targeted weight of just under 1,100 kg.
