For most people, the standard Lotus Exige V6 would surely represent the ultimate kind of sports car. It weighs little more than a box of feathers, its interior is quite extraordinarily uncluttered by unnecessary luxuries, and its supercharged Toyota V6 engine provides it with enough grunt — 345bhp — to embarrass all but the most ambitious supercar drivers. Sutters travels to Lotus’ test track in Hethel to drive the Exige V6 Cup S road car and the Exige V6 Cup R racer.
