GT3 Concept
The 275 PS (271 bhp / 203 kW) Exige GT3 is a bold, no-holds-barred, lap record-breaking, breathtaking performance machine
that embraces all that is expected of a race-bred Lotus. Building on the Lotus racing pedigree, this concept car can deliver
more grin-factor than ever before; there are no intended compromises and no limits except those that are self imposed by
the driver. This is one concept that commands your full attention. Said Mike Kimberley, Chief Executive Officer for
Group Lotus plc: "The Exige GT3 concept road car is a fantastic showcase product from our race car performance division,
Lotus Sport. The car's racing background becomes immediately obvious from its aggressive stance, extreme width of rear
track and innovative threedimensional rear wing. The foundation of all Lotus products is phenomenal handling and ride
characteristics, but the Exige GT3 takes these into another dimension altogether where supreme road holding and outrageous
acceleration come evenly matched with sensational stopping ability." The Exige GT3's pure bred racing brother will be again
competing in the GT race arena in 2007, taking over the mantle from the hugely successful 2006 British GT3 Championshipwinning
car. On road or track the Lotus Exige GT3 winning pedigree will continue in time honoured Lotus racing tradition.
A new one-piece front clam-shell with fully masked front wheels and wheel arch venting leads the aerodynamically cleaned
silhouette of this car. A menacing stance is enhanced by the aggressively flared rear wheel arches and aero-efficient
three-dimensional rear wing and blended end-plates. The visual message is clear; this vehicle means business and the squat wide
hindquarters symbolise the latent power harnessed within.
