Default any links to 2013 Exige S actual test performance #'s?

not sure if this car will ever make it to the USA but at 2400lbs (or so) and 375hp it should kick some ass... a 3200lb 350hp Evora is mid 12's in the qtr, so the Exige S has to be in the 11's (ya ya ya..i know it wasn't made for drag racing) and a hell of a lot of fun. Pretty sure on any reasonable road course it will give just about anything a good run...

I think they are just now delivering them in Europe. Anyone have a real link to real performance #'s?

Here's a video from Evo Car of the Year 2012:

The Exige lap time is not all that impressive. It's only 0.5s quicker than a base 991 Carrera.

All the timed laps were done by the same driver. I got the impression from reading the feature in the magazine that the lapping was all done on the same day.

i saw the magazine at Barnes and Nobel tonight and the track musta been pretty tight... mclaren at 1:02.8 vs Lotus at 1:04.4... 1.5 second difference must not have had much of a straightway with as close as those times are.

The few visual updates they did to that car were just right. Really updated the appearance and made it look a lot more aggressive. Adding horsepower to match the looks was also done perfectly (just right amount of power).

Wish they would bring these stateside.
