Lotus have announced the Exige-S.

The new car has the same 2Ltr Toyota lump under the bonnet, however the kick is that there is now a Root Supercharger bolted on the top.

The SC will give the new car 230Bhp, and 0-60 of 4.1 seconds and top out around 150mph. You can tell the difference from the obvious bonnet scooping for the extra air to the intercooler.

Price is around £30,000 and there is a waiting list for them already.

Cheers to AutoBlog for the heads up.
