The Exige takes the good qualities of an Elise and condenses it into a car geared towards a track. I seeing one on Top Gear a year or so ago, and while it only had a top speed of around 140mph its handling capability was mindblowing. They had a bloke in an Apache gunship chasing one around the test track trying to get a lock on, but no matter what the polit tried the Exige managed to evade him.
I've seen a few a track days and they corner as if they are glued to the road.
Yeah those things are awsome. Not to take anything away from its fabulous superlightweight chassis and suspension but a lot of its "glued to the road" feel is do to the fact that they, at least here in the states come with soft sticky R-compound tires(Yokohama/advan A048 IIRC) off the show room floor.
ooh I'm getting a boner. I love pure blooded sports cars that arent made to appease the typical "I want a car to look cool in" crowd.
