Talk:Lotus Exige

400 hp?
"The Lotus Exige was also available with a turbocharged 2.0l 4 cylinder engine producing around 400 bhp"

Not from the factory. The only engine options on production cars have been the normally aspirated Rover K-series 1.8 for the series 1 and the Toyota 2ZZ-GE 1.8 in both normally-aspirated and supercharged versions for the series 2. Sharm 22:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

fwd, rwd? where is engine mounted?
what is the weight of this car? what is it made out of? this article has a picture that says to me "toyota engine and four wheels" where is the facts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.231.177 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * ( rear /mid engine ) real wheel drive
 * (2057 lbs approx, models vary )
 * (mainly handlaid fibreglass and aluminium chassis thats epoxy bonded)
 * This car is not a coupe version of the Elise, they are identical in that respect, both the Exige and the Elise have removeable roofs and in an indentical manner, the only difference is that on an Exige the rear ward mounting points for the support rails for the softtop are missing (the softtop is optional), the forward ones are there. its trivial to add the rear mounts and many dealers do so, the hardtop is standard on an Exige, optional on the Elise. 24.234.151.82 01:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The rear clam of the Exige is entirely different from that of the Elise [ommision of fake vents on the outside of the rear lamps being one distinguishing feature]. LewisR 21:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Units
What are the units for efficiency? --Rod lavor 12:39, 16 September 2006 (UTC)


 * There are no units for efficiency. It's a ratio of output/input. e.g. a 100W filament bulb typically gives 3W of light. Therefore its efficiency is 3W/100W = 0.03 or 3% (rubbish) (The watts cancel out). LewisR 20:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Similar cars
Suggesting in the panel that similar cars are Mazda Miata (MX5) and Honda S2000 must be somebody having a joke and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding. They all have four wheels and 2 seats sure, but that's where the similarity ends. Neither the Miata or the S2000 are mid-engined. They are also equipped for comfort and are much heavier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.73.199 (talk • contribs) 12:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrong picture
That's a picture of a GT1 Elise, not a GT3 Exige —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.99.76 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Exige 265E
The E in 265E stands for Ethanol, not Experimental. LewisR 21:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Racing
Its use in racing is not trivia. It is a planned entry in a professional American motorsports league that is broadcast on television. 76.126.15.78 (talk) 22:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It is trivia because there is no significant involvement in racing and it does not significantly affect the sales or popularity of the vehicle. One car that happens to be raced does not justify a racing section.  The page you linked also mentions the Volkswagen Jetta.  Does that need a racing section too?  A very large number of different cars have been used in some form of racing.  swa  q  22:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Union Jack
The union jack Exige is trivia and does not belong on Wikipedia, at least in its current form. Perhaps creating a cultural references section and listing it there would be appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.160.92.198 (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
