Watch An Intense Nurburgring Lap Courtesy Of An Exige S And A Driver With Huge Balls

To recap, the Lotus Exige S has a 3.5-litre supercharged V6, which produces 345bhp. Thanks to its low 1176kg kerb weight, the S is good for a top speed of 170mph and a 0-62mph time of just 4.0sec.

The Exige’s Nurburgring lap time of 7min 53sec puts it in the same league as a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 (marginally quicker at 7min 52sec) and makes it five seconds faster than the Seat Leon Cupra, a model which recently clinched the title as fastest front-wheel drive car around the ‘Ring.
