The Lotus Exige Cup 430, introduced in 2017, is a track-focused yet road-legal sports car that represents the pinnacle of the Exige lineup. Powered by a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine producing 430 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque, it delivers exceptional performance, including a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph.
The car features a lightweight chassis and extensive use of carbon fiber, resulting in a dry weight of just 1,056 kg.
