Performance and enhancements; • 0-100 kmh in 4.1 seconds and 199 g/km CO2 • Lotus Launch Control and Lotus Traction Control as standard The Lotus Exige Stealth uses the 1.8 litre supercharged and intercooled 260 PS engine from the range topping Exige Cup 260, including the lightweight flywheel and lightweight supercharger pipework. Coupled with Ohlins 2 way adjustable dampers and Eibach Springs with variable height spring platforms, unique matt black lightweight forged wheels and super sticky Yokohama A048 LTS tyres, ride and handling is as expected for a Lotus! Lightweight carbon fibre components, including sports seats, interior centre console, front splitter, oil cooler inlet vanes, side airscoops and rear spoiler help to keep the weight to 10kg less than the Lotus Exige S (at just 925 kg). Lotus Launch Control and Lotus Traction Control – additions recommended for track driving Lotus Launch Control and Lotus Traction Control were originally developed for the Lotus Exige GT3 racing programme.

Sprayed in 'Phantom Black', the Lotus Exige Stealth is 22 lbs. lighter than a standard-issue Exige S, thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber inside the cabin. A front splitter made from the lightweight composite, a variable-slip traction control, and Ohlins two-way dampers were added for extra performance. The Exige's 1.8L supercharged four-cylinder remains intact and still catapults the Stealth to 62 mph in a claimed 4.1 seconds. Scorching quick, indeed. Only 35 editions are set to be available worldwide, excluding those well-heeled customers in the U.S. For markets outside of Japan, the Stealth is called the Exige Scura.
