Lotus Exige: sexy, cool and very fast. A car with impeccable traction that can accelerate, stop and change direction quicker than most. It has an all-aluminum tub, lightweight body, high-revving 190bhp Toyota engine and effective aerodynamic wings and splitters, which all help to create a very focused driving machine. Try it out for yourself at Thruxton, the UK's fastest circuit. You'll get a briefing, then three instructor-driven laps to help you get a feel for the car and the track. Then drive seven laps in the Exige yourself. After a break to catch your breath, drive a further seven laps to really get to grips with this fabulous vehicle. To round off your experience you'll get a full-throttle, white knuckle passenger ride with your instructor.
