Lotus Exige carbon flounder with 6,2 liter AMG naturally aspirated V8!

While the manufacturer Lotus is focused on building electric cars from now on, others are focused on getting really cool cars on the road! For example an AMG-fueled Lotus Exige. While previous vehicles from “Lotus” always scored points with lightweight construction instead of enormous performance, this is the topic for this vehicle Performance a completely different one. Because this Exige has more than enough of it. The bright yellow racing car with "road approval" was created entirely according to customer requirements and it took almost 5 years to finish. the Widebody body is made entirely of carbon fiber, for example. And since there are no suppliers on the market who sell this for the Exige, the components had to be be made by yourself. And the result looks like it came straight from the factory. And it doesn't just look spectacular on the outside. Even Interior If this is the case! The dashboard is very similar to that of the Exige, which is because an original was used to make the molded part for the carbon fiber copy. You have to get that done first.

650 HP meet an unladen weight of just 1.150 kg

And as a highlight, of course, a “real” engine was installed in the rear. Toyota's 1,8-liter four-cylinder supercharged engine flew out and now push much more than 300 hp the flounder forward. That is because there is a built-in Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG engine. Specifically, it is the handmade one 6,2 liter vacuum cleaner (M 159 E 63), which the Exige tuner for the last "correct naturally aspirated engine built by AMG“Holds. Theoretically insane 1.150 PS and 571 NM torque hit just 650 kg curb weight. Theoretically? Exactly! Because the engine is no longer series, but "optimized". He's supposed to be around now 650 PS perform and thus more than the Mercedes SLS Coupé Black Series, which has 631 PS & 635 NM available. That makes according to our calculator a power to weight ratio from 1,77 kg per hp! Crazy… Have fun with the video!
