LOTUS EXIGE V-6 CUPAGE It's not that you can't buy the new Lotus Exige in the United States and make a couple of quick blasts down the street, it just wouldn't be legal. Because of airbag regulations, the road-going Elise and Exige will mostly be left for the lucky Europeans, leaving us with a track-only special that will be brought to the United States in limited numbers. It's too bad, too, because the Exige is better than ever. Yes, it weighs more mainly because it adopts the Evora's Toyota-derived, supercharged 3.5-liter V-6, but it provides an extra 100 horsepower for moving only an extra few hundred pounds. In other words, performance is up, and the 0–60 is down. In the track machine, it has a Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) system offering selectable drive modes, including Touring, Sport and Race. In addition, it has a multi-adjustable suspension, full FIA-approved roll cage, fire extinguisher, carbon-fiber racing seat, six-point harness and a quick-release steering column. Completing the package is an aggressive, aerodynamically optimized front splitter and rear spoiler and diffuser.
MARUSSIA B2 The B2 is Marussia’s evolved, more aggressively styled supercar made to take the entire company to a new level. It has made its presence known at more than just competitions, forging partnerships with video games, like the “Need for Speed” series. Though it has most of the same specifications as the older B1, including the 2.8-liter turbocharged V-6 and carbon fiber chassis, the B2 has been designed to show a “wild side,” as Marussia would call it. They wittily molded an ‘M’ into the face of the car, certainly giving it a more distinct, savage look that turns heads and allows for even more air scoops and functional grills for intakes. For the track, the B2, is equipped with adjustable suspension made by the German brand KW, whom Marussia has partnered with. The B2 is certainly a powerful start to what could be the beginning of a big future.
