The 2008 Lotus Exige S receives a Performance Pack that raises the power to the 240 PS / 179 kW (minimum) at 8000 rpm. This performance increase has been made possible by a Magnuson/Eaton M62 supercharger, new, faster flowing injectors, a higher torque clutch system and an upsized roof scoop. The 2008 Lotus Exige S Performance Pack increases the torque figures to 230 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The 2008 Lotus Exige S with Performance Pack accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 153 mph.

· 308 mm front cross-drilled and vented discs with AP Racing four piston callipers
· Uprated front and rear brake pads
· Full length larger roof scoop
· Variable slip traction control
· Uprated clutch plate and cover
· Launch control

Standard brakes pads are replaced by uprated pads and there are braided brake hoses.

Keen to pass on lessons learned on the track with the Exige GT3 racing programme, Lotus Sport has contributed another important technology to the Performance Pack – launch control combined with variable traction control. This combo has already made its production debut with the track-oriented Lotus 2-Eleven.
With launch control, you can control the amount of traction control you require from the driver’s seats, altering it on the move to suit the characteristics of particular corners. The amount of traction control can be varied in over 30 increments from an optimum 7 percent tyre slip to completely off. The message display in the new instrument pack displays what degree of traction control you have currently dialed in.
