Picked my Lotus RGB Exige up last weekend, so yes , I bought one.
@tombell you on Instagram?
I like his constant smile, when talking about his car.
Great clip, and the best model/colour Lotus ever. So great I went out and bought one as well :)
Loved this piece. Real effervescent enthusiasm and boyish excitement without the 'shouty shouty' I often see on sports car reviews.
I bought a 2007 exige s220 last year here in the US. Part of me was debating trading in for something I can enjoy more than an occasional track day (ttrs maybe) but I think I will keep it. Everything you day in the video is correct. Racecar for the street is an overused quote, but apt and honest for the Lotus.
Awesome ride! Purchased my Solar Yellow LOTUS EXIGE S w/lots of goodies today!
Have you seen our "I Bought One" series on TH-cam? You should probably check it out, this time out we have Quintin's Lotus Exige S 240. It really does sound amazing!
Dear Auto Trader,
Could you please give me Mr.Anthony Quintin's email address please I'd like to write to him about my obsession the lotus exige and congratulate him on buying it.
Thank you
Ajey
HI Ajey, We cannot give out Antony's email address but if you like to send the email to editorial@autotrader.co.uk we will pass the email on to him.
Tesla.... faster than all these "super cars"
Not round corners mate ;)
And more boring.
When did Auto trader start making great car videos, love it, keep up the good work.
3:30 Sharing the Joy with others just by driving past is what makes cars like this so epic. And it sets those kids on the path to working hard and achieving the same, keeping workers in the car industry meaningfully employed in the process.
great video! I bought one, too.😉 That was in 2013 and I'm still enjoying every second of driving. Btw, krypton green is also the colour of mine...👍
Great video - you are speaking the exact words I felt when I picked up my Elise when I was back in UK. Missing my Lotus now but the road here would rip the suspension out! Enjoy
This is a great car for the money!
I drove one in track and is very easy to control with awesome performance.
Well done video. Nice balance of driving and describing the car.
I got mine less than a month ago, still loving its quirkiness. 2008 Exige s240 with 1320 super charger, its insane
Isotope green? This and the metallic grey are perfect for this car IMHO. What a lucky chap : D
+Rafik Abdul He sold it
Brilliant video - reminded me of how I felt when I had mine bringing out the inner child. That Tublar sounds epic on overrun!
Rob Morgan Yeah thanks Rob, yeah it sounds mega :)
Antony Quintin Mate which exhaust is that? Is it aftermarket?
Vijay N. Yes its the 2Bular 6" it sounds amazing!!!!!
Congrats! Gorgeous car and a dream come true I’m sure. So glad to see cars like these owned by real enthusiasts who appreciate them and use them properly. Not insta-posers who swap them 6mths later to keep up with some ‘trends’ they are inventing. Have great fun on the track and those stunning road trips! Cheers
I love these!
"I wanted to do track days but thought I won't learn to do them first in a more normal car... I'll drive an Exige really slowly to annoy other people and then eventually I will be fast enough" 😂
good handling car
Have nearly the same Exige S240, in Krypton Green. But with a remap to s260. Love the MY2010 front clam of yours.
If I owned one of these, the first thing I would do would be to add lightness. I would remove the inside rear view mirror as it serves no function whatsoever.
yep, mine didn't even come with the mirror, no point! Nice reverse camera instead =)
AW11 owner and enthusiast for 25 years. One day I hope to own a 2007-10 Exige and twincharge it. Best shaped IMO. One day......
Krypton green is the right colour.
That's a beautiful car...
Great video, awesome car!
Loving the video! Last month I got mine :-)
I need to get the same exhaust, great sound!
I'm saving, October 2018 is my target.
Still saving!! 4 months to go before target is reached.
Getting closer by the week, budget almost in place. ........
Okay, so I've just put a deposit on a Yellow RGB MY10, test drive in 10 days.
August 18th 2018......I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE !!!!! A 2010 Yellow S260 RGB. Yay! !!!!!
Still got it?
Very nice
Fantastic Green...👽 LESS IS MORE always👍💣
Just got my 2008 Exige S240 this weekend. My god i fucking love it.. Need an exhaust tho! Its this 6x22 or 8x22 2bular... Cant decide....
+SmeekPeek
omg.. hi again XD
i can't get enough of the exige.. it's 2:13 AM now and i'm awake watching videos of this car
+Jayrhome W I did exactly the same thing all over and over before I got mine :) I've seen it all on youtube, trust me :D
+SmeekPeek haha I'm doing the same and seeing you pop up everywhere, I'm getting the chrome orange 260bhp, been for a test drive already😊 what's it like owning one? I have a blue elise s2 currently
+wise 1 Nice! The right color too! :) Well, what can I say. It's amazing to own. And people love it, young and old. It brings a smile to everyones face which is what it's all about imo. Best of luck with your toy :) !!! Got some videos of my chrome orange S240 for you to watch if you want! peace :)
+SmeekPeek it's the best colour imo, looks like we're both very lucky boys! shame I'm from the UK, would love to see them together and I've seen one of your vids already 😊 going to watch your new one now peace man!
Still got the 2ZZ-GE? Sounds like it!
Is this the Lotus , that is basically a Like Lotuized Toyota Supra?
good job
I'm being completely honest when I say I'm so jealous I almost didn't enjoy watching this! ;P No seriously, good for Quintin, I aim to own one of these in the future, however I'll most likely end up with an Elise, and just put the 30k I save into upgrades hehehe.
can you take the roof of the exige like the elies?
So why the celica gts with same engine is not that good?
EPIC EPIC EPIC this guy keeps saying EPIC
Want want want want want want want want
is there any difference between this and the elise? i mean the exterior design looks almost exactly the same.
julius dogta - yes, the Exige is a track tuned version of the Elise. This one also has a supercharger which means more powaaaaaa
So does it have 220 brake horse power or 240?
how do you see behind you?
not alot is going to pass you
David Richards not worried about anything passing you (the car is not that fast) what about when you are backing up or parallel parking?
I installed a rear view camera. Cheap and easy.
Watching everything on the opposite side is making me a bit OCD not gonna lie lol.
How much for one like this one, not to much trashed around a track or modify ?
£25-£30k.
Lotus = lots of trouble usually serious. But I love them😂😂
They haven't been unreliable for years - The new Toyota V6 engine is extremely reliable and parts are easy to source, plus servicing costs are very reasonable.
Wrong. The newer ones are close to bullet proof.
I want one 😅
That is a real back killer with nothing to enjoy inside. Is a car for a race track really.
Good to drive a few times and enjoy but then you want to get into a normal car and go home. So basically better to rent a few drives in a race track in it than actually owning it.
Some people want to own something like this and good for them if they can deal with the "harsh" interior conditions. I'm one of those people, I'd daily a f1 car if I could.
clayton8or_2 That's just enthusiasm for a dream talking. If you actually had such things for daily commute you will fast enough start to get tired of such daily commute and want something more comfortable.
If you are rich enough to have a second car like this for weekend track days or driving in some fun roads with little traffic then is ok.
Sometimes people have a lot of stress in their lives with wifey and retarded stepson so sometimes people would like to go out in this on weekends and be a total douchebag maybe even put truck horns on it and just act out what therapy can't
The Lotus Elise/Exige with the newer Probax seats, is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, despite being thinly padded. It is designed to hug your spine, and once in, I can drive all day and not have a sore back.
Both me and my Exige's previous owner have bad backs. After spacing the front of the seats up by a little over 1/4", I can ride in mine for hours without back pain. It was the previous owner's daily driver for years, and he put over 75,000 miles on it. I think it has 82,000 on it now. I've driven it a lot more than I though I would, and can't stay out of the damned thing. It's highly addictive.
So, it's not an uncomfortable car, at least not for me. Just don't expect it to ride like a new 3-Series BMW.
I think he's a bit simple.....
💚💚💚
30 Jahre Porsche gefahren, dann ein exige....30 Jahre das falsche Auto gefahren. Lotus, nothing comes close 😁
a fan in my computer will give you more hp than that supercharger
Doubtful, it's because the Exige literally weighs half of what most supercars do, it may not sound that powerful, but it'll get to 60 in 3.7 seconds, which is nearly as fast as a ferrari 458, and handles even nimbler. My Elise is bored, boosted, turbo & supercharged, and I can get to 60 in 3 seconds flat now. I smoked a lambo the other day.
cybertree Not quite 3.7 sec. The fastest exige they made can do it in 4.0 sec.
***** shut da fuck up .... you don't even know me to call me kid.... you are that kinda guy who can't offord a qualitie car so he gets a shity attitude. I drive a cla AMG..... what do you drive?
BeyondYT it depends in which country/state you are .....is it warmer climate fuel mixture oxygen level
cybertree this are good numbers but come on 20 hp is not a lot for that price ....a normal turbocharger delivers 50 hp.why not to put a turbocharger in that thing in that thing? stage 2 could brobible deliver 70 hp
Pfwahhahahhahaha, a LOTUS? LMAO
i,m preety sure that is a lovely car to drive but god damn is so ugly...
sorin bunea matter of opinion...
really? damn i think the exige looks stunning, especially from the rear. can't think of a better looking car
Someone should have gone to Spec savers.
