What the new Exige based on the Elise can do: Video.
The Exige has the same engine as the Elise, and likely essentially same suspension as the LSS equiped Elise. Wing and splitter added, of course.
I would think that my modded S2000 can be better around the track given an excellent driver, but that I will be able to be faster in the Elise, as likely the limits would be easier to get close to in the Elise.
