Lotus only have a 1.8l engine.

You can fit a honda engine if your racing regulations allow it?

Wait until the supercharged exige comes out and base the race car on that?

Mr Son,

The Exige will easily compete with the Honda S2000 and other cars you mention.

It is much, much lighter and also has much better handling.

You would need to study the rules for the class of racing you intend to compete in very closely, but I cannot imagine any modifications to the cars which you list which could make them quicker around a circuit than a similarly modified Exige.

We have a saying in our country that 'size is not everything'! A Lotus Exige is easily quicker than a 3.2 litre Porsche Boxster S, never mind the saloon cars or Honda S2000 that you are worried about!

lotus exige with a 2 litre honda supercharged type 'r engine... 275hp easy horsepower.... job done!

failing that, you could explore the option of a 2 litre k-series

If you are allowed to change the engine then go for a Honda but otherwise there are a couple of UK tuners who are now building 2litre K's. Scholar is one of them.

Honestly, you do not need 270 bhp to stuff a Lexus IS200, Hyundai 2.0, BMW 320 or even a Honda S2000 around a race circuit in an Exige!!

...a Hyundai FFS!

I'd have thought your biggest problem would be homlogating the Exige against such mass production vehicles?
