the 06 Exige S has 218hp, runs 0-60 in 4.1 and 0-100 in 9.98.

The beauty of ethanol is its ability to produce more power in the engine than with conventional petrol / gasoline fuel. The Lotus Exige 265E now produces 264 bhp at 8000 rpm, and 184 lb-ft of torque at 5500 rpm, up by 46 bhp or 21% and 25 lb-ft or 16% over the standard petrol / gasoline Exige S.

and how the hell is E85 not environmentally friendly? or at least MORE environmentally friendly than gasoline (not to mention it's something we can grow HERE, not have to keep buying from the middle east)
