Presented at the 2005 FIA GT Championship presentation ceremony,
the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 is intended to compete in a FIA GT3
racing series beginning in 2006. A series in which the cars
have equal power to weight ratios, and a direct connection to
their road going counterparts.
Developed by Lotus Sport, the performance division of Lotus,
the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 is a close relative of the road going
Lotus Exige. The Sport Exige GT3 is powered
by a race tuned, 1.8 litre, variable valve timed, supercharged
and intercooled engine developing 285 horsepower.
The Lotus Sport Exige GT3, like the standard Exige, is made
with the lightweight Lotus philosophy as an overriding characteristic,
and its 750 kg (1653 lb) total weight is helped by a lightweight
bonded aluminum chassis, carbon body panels, carbon
fiber rear wing and 5-spoke forged alloy wheels. Race car
features of the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 include an FIA 6-point
roll cage, ignition kill switches, uprated braking and suspension
systems, and an aerodynamic package.
