Reaching 100 kph from standing in a neck-snapping 4 seconds (0 &#8211; 60 mph in 3.8 seconds) and 0-160 kph (0-100 mph) in 8.5 seconds this little roadster packs a punch both on and off the track. The top speed for the Exige S Roadster is 233 kph (145 mph) and it produces just 236 g of CO2 per km.<\/p>\n<p>With a targeted weight of just under 1100 kg, this is one of the lightest six-cylinder roadsters on the market by some margin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-race-models\/\"><strong>Lotus Race Car List<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-current-models\/\">Lotus&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-current-models\/\">Current&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-current-models\/\">Lineup<\/a>&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-current-models\/\">All Lotus Models<\/a>&nbsp;\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/all-brands\/lotus\/lotus-news\/\">Lotus News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2012-lotus-exige-s-roadster\/2012_lotus_exigesroadster-0-1024\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-231313\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-231313 size-full\" title=\"2012 Lotus Exige S Roadster\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_Lotus_ExigeSRoadster-0-1024.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Lotus Exige S Roadster\" width=\"\" height=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Outside, it\u2019s a fine balance of beauty and the beast. The drop-top adds extrovert style to the Exige\u2019s already muscular contours, at the same time it is an elegant machine that keeps its clenched fist under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>The Roadster comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, but will also be available with Lotus\u2019 Serial Precision Shift (SPS), a paddle-operated automated manual transmission, which makes life more relaxed in the city and more F1-like when it\u2019s let off the leash. The SPS gearbox means the driver never has to take their hands off the wheel, it prevents errors during shifting, and it is lighter and more compact than a normal torque-converter transmission.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2012-lotus-exige-s-roadster\/2012_lotus_exigesroadster-3-1024\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-231316\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-231316 size-full\" title=\"2012 Lotus Exige S Roadster\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2012_Lotus_ExigeSRoadster-3-1024.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Lotus Exige S Roadster\" width=\"\" height=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The car comes with two different suspension settings. There\u2019s the standard setting for an active driving experience suited to public roads; and an optional setting as part of the Race Pack for maximum performance, developed for track use. The launch control system can be activated when the car is in Race mode.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the car is a lesson in stylish minimalism and functionality. The customer can specify a comfort enhanced plush interior or go for a more stripped down, sporty option.<\/p>\n<p>The car has been developed for the main markets such as Europe and Asia. The Exige S Roadster will not be available to the U.S market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2012-lotus-exige-s-roadster\/2012_lotus_exigesroadster-0-1024\/\" rel=\"attachment
