As one of the most exotic cars on the road, just now much power does the Lotus really make? We strap down the supercharged Lotus Exige S240 to see how much power it spins up, and if any power has been lost over the years. Tuning Fork also sheds some light on the myths and mysteries of drive train loss and dyno figures.

Does your dyno software have an acceleration correction feature? You are running very short runs and the amount of power going into accelerating the transmission, engine, wheels and rollers is substantial. If you try running it with an acceleration ramp with half the acceleration you will get a higher power, if there is no correction applied. As the acceleration is reduced the power will increase but with smaller and smaller increments. I am an engineer and years ago used to design dynos - that's why I am talking the technical shit! :)

@4IN14094 3 года назад

It can be approximated though. Count around 1% to 3% WHP losses from the drive shaft and trans (in 1:1 ratio; lower gears are less efficient), and around 10% loss per diff.

Could be that but likely it's because he's driving it around mid revs where it has less power than other cars he's used to. Unfortunately it looks like this has to be at the limit all the time in order to perform at its best, and even there the power to weight ratio isn't anything amazing so he might have a hard time going noticeably faster than in his FRS

@BlatentlyFakeName 3 года назад

The Lotuses are very sensitive to tiny changes, even with the aero as it's all functional. Tyre choice, PSI, age etc all makes a big difference. They need attention to detail which normally wouldn't bother most casual trackday drivers. They need someone with experience of setting up racing cars really. They should probably take it back to factory spec and work from there. Start with just a track focused geometry setup.

Can I suggest an experienced Lotus driver take you around the track a few times to help you push past your comfort zones

@SimplySportsCars 3 года назад

Fingers crossed this is what will be happening soon with one of our experienced Aussie racing drivers so that we can help the guys get up to speed as quickly as possible. We know it will put a smile on their face from ear to ear :-)

@tylorpater4259 3 года назад

Did you guys ask the Lotus guys at the track to take it for a spin? I feel like those guys out of everyone would have been able to tell you what was up

👏 Did a track day on Years old tires? :/ could have seen that failed day coming knowing this

@EliJayFly 3 года назад

The tyres likely contributed massively to the loose back end on the track

@HMan2828 3 года назад

Bigger wheels, wider and stickier rear rubbers, and longer gears.

@keatonjones6115 3 года назад

he did say the tyres on it were super super old, so probs just needs some 003's and shell grip up like a mad dog.

@5punkybob 3 года назад

But also the power is so linearity coming on you have to drive it so different. With a turbo you get used to and expect the turbo to kick in.. but with supercharge it's just there with no warning. The first time I drove my mates 5.7 v8 hard I lost it around the first corner because I was used to waiting and expecting the boost to come on from owning a twin turbo manual soarer.

@HMan2828 3 года назад

@@5punkybob The power is not the problem, lack of traction is... That car is so light, you pretty much need sticky wide tires, a tighter suspension setup to transfer power to the back, and probably a relaxed sway bar (or a delete) so that it rolls better in corners and doesn't oversteer as much...

@jamiebrockman6361 3 года назад

Definitely lowkey hurt Moogs feelings when he called it a supercharged “sports car” lmao

@udovdh 3 года назад

I thought that 'supercharged' was rather factual. I do not think a car with 240/170 hp can be a supercar. My simple VW 3-cylinder 1.4 TDI comes close to that.

@connorthemusicguru690 3 года назад

It is a sports car.

@Riko_KP 3 года назад

@@udovdh It's not about pure power, it's about power to weight ratio. Also, those 3-cylinders make 75-105hp depending on the model, and get a power to weight ratio of 10.4 kg/Hp at most. That's not even half the horsepower of the Lotus, not to mention the power to weight ratio. A basic Mk5 Polo with the 3-cylinder TDI weighs around 1100kg, as the Lotus weighs just 930kg, with a power to weight ratio of 3.8 kg/Hp. It does 0-100km/h in 3.9s, as the 105hp Polo does it in 9.9s. That's quite a difference.
