It produces 177 bhp (132 kW; 179 PS) at 7,800 rpm in standard form. There was also a &#8220;track spec&#8221; version with 190 bhp (142 kW; 193 PS) available. The car has a five-speed manual gearbox, and a claimed top speed of 219 km\/h (136 mph). 0\u201360 mph (97 km\/h) was achieved in 4.7 seconds and 0\u2013100 km\/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds. The first Exige used the round, less aggressive headlights of the first generation Elise, although the Elise was updated soon after the introduction of the Exige. The Series 1 was built until 2002, in 604 examples, and was not replaced until the Series 2 of 2004.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<\/strong><a
