More official info and pictures about the new Lotus Exige S have been released by the British manufacturer. This new spiced-up version of the Exige is going to be the most sporty offering from the historic brand, equipped with a mid-mounted, supercharged 3.5 litre DOHC V6 engine delivering 345 hp (borrowed from the Evora), high performance Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres and Lotus DPM (Dynamic Performance Management) system, which allows drivers to switch between three driving modes: Touring, Sport and DPM off. Two new interior package options are available: the stylish Premium and the more driver-focused Premium Sport.

For those who might fancy something more, Lotus will offer a dedicated Race Pack option for the Exige S consisting of a fourth driving mode (providing maximum possible traction out of corners), an optimized track suspension setting and Launch Control. The Exige S will not be available in all markets, but Lotus is being a little sketchy on the details concerning the countries that will eventually be supplied with their new flagship.

After the jump you can read their PR release.
