[Video] Is this the loudest Lotus Exige? | GRR
Prepare yourself for the best sounding Lotus Exige you will ever hear! In the video above we follow the lucky owner, Piero Randazzo, as he takes to the Adria International Raceway, pushing that sonorous, supercharged V6 past 9,000rpm…
First, we sit inside the cockpit, as the Italian slides around, testing the limits of grip on cold tyres. A few over-zealous throttle blips through the opening turns require corrective steering, reminding Randazzo to feather the throttle as the car comes up to temperature. Sure, a great onboard, however, this Exige’s real glory is only fully realised from a trackside vantage. The raucous symphony from the full Ajko titanium exhaust system rolls across the Venetian countryside, spitting out flame upon throttle lift. The car lifts a wheel out of the tighter turns, revealing just how stiff the set-up is. It is clear this is not your run-of-the-mill Lotus! A comprehensive rebuild, including a lot of bespoke work, removed almost 200kg transformed Randazzo’s stock Exige S into this lightweight rocket. Remember to turn that volume up to 11.
