Geared with a trustworthy 3.5-liter supercharged V6 power unit, the car deals with a total of 375hp and 410Nm of torque. But we all know that high output itself is not enough to recognize a single vehicle as capable, don't we? This massive power output is precisely controlled by an Xtrac 6-speed sequential gearbox, exclusive oil cooler, plate limited slip differential and neat carbon paddle shifters. Sweet.

Further features include Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, AP Racing forged four-piston calipers and grooved two-piece brake disc that further control the acceleration and deceleration. Furthermore, there is a special suspension system that includes 2-way adjustable Öhlins dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars. Cool.

Definitely a sweet addition to the lineup, Exige Race 380 looks promising and definitely sexy. Stick with us for future details!
