Listen to How Awesome the Lotus Exige Sport 350 Sounds
The Lotus Exige Sport 350 might not be heading to the U.S., but that won’t stop us from admiring it from afar.
In a new video released by the British automaker titled “Light is Right,” the Lotus Exige Sport 350 flexes its muscles for the camera, sounding brilliant as the 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine tears through the rpm band. Sporting 345 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, the Lotus Exige Sport 350 is 112 pounds lighter than the previous model Exige S, tipping the scales at 2,480 lbs.
The result is a sports car that goes 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds while having a top speed of 170 mph.
