Description
M9 XGE is the Lotus Exige for the discerned buyer who prioritises exceptionally maintenance and impressive performance. The Lotus returned to Lotus Cars when it was just a year old to have the 260 upgrade, increasing the already staggering performance. With no stone left unturned, the Exige boasts every Sports Pack Option, notably the carbon front splitter, side scoops and mirror covers. Accompanied by a comprehensive history file detailing MOTs and services at 950, 2472, 12386, 22033, 27399, 33860, 34423, 35687, 38394, 40225, 45532, 52202, 54659, 56195, 57385 miles. It is clear to see this 62, 000 miles S2 has been a well looked after example.
Recently, the Lotus had undergone an impressive program or works, completely refreshing the bakes and suspension. Work included refurbishing the wishbones, new ball joints, new wheel bearings, bushes replaced with uprated HPE bearings, new drop links, track rods, shims and all nuts and bolts. In addition to the beautifully crafted Spitfire Engineering rear toe link upgrade, Godspeed 2-piece floating discs, and Gaz Monotube Coilover Suspension has been fitted. Once the work was completed, the Lotus was subject to a perfect geometry set up for fast road driving by a motorsport engineer.
Inside the Lotus you are met with superbly supportive Black and Blue half leather, half Alcantara Probax seats, a minimalist driver focused dashboard, and an upgraded head unit for media. As a later car, it has the later dash with Airbag, with very rare sun visor option and retractable Cup Holder which are seldom found in this category of car. The in-line 4-cylinder Supercharged engine powering the car produces a superb whine as you pull through the rev range. Through all 6 gears, the power feels permanently potent. While straight line speed is staggering, the handling is in a world of its own. Through corners the limited slip differential and perfectly set up suspension, provide the most thrilling driving experience.
