2012 Lotus Exige will get a new 3.5-liter V6 engine

August 21st, 2011

Lotus Cars is a British car company that manufactures racing and sports cars. Recently, Lotus Cars released the new 2012 Exige with a new 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Since December 2010, the European market has not seen any Exige models on sale due to the falling out of its 1.8-liter V4 engine at the emissions tests. The car industry believes that Lotus Cars CEO, Dany Bahar, is currently improving the Lotus’ present line up before the 2013 models, starting with the much awaited Esprit model, roll in.

The redesigned front of the 2012 Exige is so evident. According to Donato Coco, head of Lotus’ design, the overall layout of the current Lotus models appear to be “too weak.” Coco aims to give the new models a bolder, meaner look through the inspirations he got from the new sports cars featured on the Paris’ motor show last year.

Bahar said in a statement that the Exige, Evora, and Elise models will all get over 150 enhancements including tweaks in the quality of the cars’ interiors.

Enthusiasts and car experts alike agree that the inclusion of a V6 engine to the Evora and Exige models will open new opportunities for Lotus with its sports coupe models. The new V6 engine comes with two power output options, 276bhp and 345bhp, along with an automatic transmission.

We are still waiting for official word when and where the brand new 2012 Lotus Exige with its V6 engine will make its first official debut to the automotive world.
