In production since 2004, the Series 2 Exige is available with two engine configurations, both based on an 1.8L L4, multipoint injection solution. Customers can choose between 192 HP and 133.5 pound-feet of torque and 225 HP and 133.5 pound-feet of torque, but otherwise the two versions are quite identical. Rear wheel drive, manual, 6-speed transmission and all round ventilated discs are standard. The design changes, which included the front splitter, fibreglass hardtop roof with roof scoop, rear engine cover, and rear spoiler, were aimed at creating more downforce, considerably more downforce.
