I finally get to drive one of my favorite cars of all time. The 2007 Lotus Exige is a supercharged 220 horsepower street legal go-kart that only has one real purpose, being the textbook definition of a driver's car. Find out why and watch our standing half mile acceleration test.
Track Day is a channel dedicated to performance cars and building an extensive database of their acceleration times. At the same time, I strive to deliver content in a cinematic and visually pleasing style with honest opinions from a guy who just wants to drive cars fast.

[Update] So I bought the car, and I finally get to take this Lotus on the track. Check out my track impressions in that video here >>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KVmQQu0EjNc.html . . . I realized that I didn't really touch on the impracticality of this car, but let's be real here, you know what you're getting into when you buy an Exige. Speaking of buying an Exige, should I buy this one?

"It's not the car you buy to flex on your friends or drive on a night out... This is the car you buy for yourself to truly experience the joy of driving." As an Elise owner, I couldn't agree more. Amazing cinematics, very good review hitting all the sweet spots, especially the track/part costs. Subbed.

Frank White better than a Kart if you can’t handle 3Gs. No road car comes close to a proper Kart. Not even closer as far as pure driving and racing experience. I won’t even get into the wheel to wheel part of it cause frankly just doing “track days” for time is boring AF compared to racing real drivers with similar racecraft.

You made a great video and I'm glad that you enjoyed the car. You've got a new subscriber. In July I picked up an '05 Elise with a built head, 9K RPM redline, custom catless exhaust, a BoE 400 supercharger kit, and tons of other custom work/parts. Words can't describe what it is like to have 330 wheel horsepower sitting right behind your head in a car that weighs 2000 pounds. I've had the most fun sharing the car with people who may not have the opportunity to experience a car like this. Before I put the Lotus into heated storage, a little kid who was only six years old kept whispering to his dad about the car as they walked by the gas pump I was at. I just called out to them and said, "Hey, would you guys like to sit in it and I can take some pictures for you?" The way the kid's eyes lit up was priceless and his father was so appreciative. The father got in the passenger side and his son got in the driver's seat. I started the car and let the kid rev it a little bit while I took pictures for him to show to his mom when he got home. Then to make his day, I asked his dad if I could take him for a little ride around the block and his father agreed so we did a loop right around the gas station. I'm hoping I created a little automotive enthusiast that day and he will grow up to own an Elise or Exige in ten years.

Once this snow clears up and we get some warm weather so sometime at the end of March or early April to share the car with as many people as possible.

There has been, remember this car first appeared in 2005, Top gear did the apache helicopter article on it, The quote was, “the most fun you can have on four wheels” reviews tend to be done only on new releases, so you will not be hearing to much about a 15 year old car. This model went out of production in 2011, stopped completely in the USA due to compliance laws, but a new V6 Exige has been released overseas, that attracted industry wide acclaim.

What a brilliant review of the Exige 220. Never been in an Exige but what you described summed up everything I loved and also disliked a little about my Elise 111R. People look at the stats on these things and will dismiss it without actually driving it but like you summed up perfectly the emotion and joy you get from the Exige and Man other Lotus's is beyond what very few manufacturers can offer, which is why I'm on Lotus number 5 now with an early Evora. Thank you very much!

Just did some work on one of these (I'm a mechanic) and got to drive it for a weekend. The owner had put Penske coil overs on it. Couldn't tell if the sway bars were aftermarket or not. Absolutely the most insane car I've ever driven, and I've driven a bunch of stuff. Just ridiculous. And I would argue that, at it's stock power; it's right on the money for hard core canyon carving. As a high performance street car it's a dream, haven't taken one on the track but I imagine it retains it's benign yet aggressive characteristics Because I was poking around for a few days with it, I noticed the upper and lower control arms are nearly identical to the control arms of prototype and formula one cars from the 60's and 70's. It worked great back then and it works great today!

I see the LSS wheels, the 07s had 6.5" wide, 08s were 6" wide.. It looks like slight mods by the previous owner. Did you buy it? I am so happy with mine, I just ran a track day and did a 120 mile drive through mountain and canyon roads.. Keep up the good work!

The car is an absolute blast to drive on the twisties. At one point I had a 914. The Elise and Exige really attract me. They appear to be a wonderful mixture of the utter rawness of the 914, fused with the handling and performance of my 964 - but with only 2/3 the weight. That’s a game changer!

I once after a test drive paid a deposit for a 2008 brand new Exige S in black (1.8 compressor like yours). The car appealed (and it does till today) albeit I found its gearbox and pedal box very disappointing. Brakes ok, Engine ok: car's light and fast but there is no way to detract from its tiny 4 pot 1.8 litre capacity. The best bits? The amazing steering, lightness / responsiveness, excellent sitting position and looks. The official dealership salesperson then cocked it up and I asked the deposit back. Went to buy a BMW Z4 M Coupe instead: amazing engine and better packaging the Lotus but disappointing everywhere else. After that I switched to Porsche's 981: S...GT4... all manual...and for the first time ever a car has left me completely satisfied: no weak points at all - they are mid engine heaven and every flat six I have driven: 2.7, 3.4, 3.8, 4.0 has been amazing. Most like will never change or swap. I can think about adding a 911 but never swap a 981/718 with 6 pistons for a rear engined Porsche. Currently the best thing alternative to a brand new Exige (not in production anymore) is an Alpine and in my opinion a better machine overall albeit short of Lotus' looks... . Great video ✨ Many thanks.

I just discovered your channel, since I'm looking into buying a Lotus Exige S. This review was so helpful with all the footage. I appreciate all the footage and editing. Very well done! Anyways, I subscribed, so now I"m going into the rabbit hole and looking at all your previous videos. lol

First time seeing this channel...subscribed about half way through. I agree with the commenter below: this is Henry Catchpole or Chris Harris territory in terms of presenter quality.

sooooooo i was doubting on getting a Lotus because i have a Porsche Cayman, but this convinced me. Love the video man, what a quality video, not too long straight facts and honest opinions. Thanks my friend

You cannot beat a Lotus Exige or Elise and who says they are not practical, I drive mine to work every day :)

These are fun, mine was at 280 whp and ran far stronger than most would assume, the thing that made it fun is that it's a bare drivers car no luxuries or anything

The way you felt about this car is the way I feel about my Abarth 500. I fucking love that thing. It's not practical, it's not the fastest by any means, yet it's such an amazing drivers car that leaves you with the most "smiles per mile."

I've been in love with the elise since people were importing S1's and swapping B18s into them. When they finally brought it here I started counting down the days until I own one. Great video

this car shares an engine with the Toyota Celica GTS which (even though its FWD) is awesome to drive as well and hella more practical

You got totally right. I bought my Exige S2 exactly for that reason. I drove everything on the market (Porsch Cayman S, BMW M3, Honda S2000, EVO IX) but after a test drive with the exige I knew I finally found my dream car. And real sports car that isn't a compromise.
