Passing along lessons learned on the track with the Exige GT3 racing program, Lotus Sport Cars has contributed another important technology – variable launch control combined with variable traction control. The launch control allows the driver to determine the number of revs they wish to use during a standing start. Having programmed that limit, the driver then holds their foot down fully on the throttle pedal and sidesteps the clutch pedal for a very quick departure from the line. The clutch damper cushions the severity of the clutch to transmission engagement to minimize the stresses to the drivetrain. The launch control also keeps wheel-spin at bay until 6 mph, after which the traction control assumes its duties.
Like all Lotus cars, the functional components of the car also are beautifully designed as Russell Carr, Chief of Lotus Design, explains, "For 2010 we've got taken the already visually severe Exige and given it even greater visual drama. The changes we've included to the the front and rear of the Exige signal an even clearer and practical reason. The useful rear wing is race-inspired, the new angular air intakes and complete width splitter give a extra hard-edged and competitive look. Overall, the Exige seems greater planted and offers the illusion that both the front and rear of the auto are wider than they actually are, but without losing its agile and sleek man or woman."
