Editing Exige V6 model history milestones (section)

==2013MY Exige S Roadster: September 2013==
First Production ‘13MY VIN serial number DHC10852.<br />
Body: As per the Exige S except for the standard factory fitment of the Elise style fabric soft top roof and deletion of the front splitter and rear aerofoil. The side air intake panels and door mirror plinths are finished in the same colour as the body on the Exige S Roadster (compared to black finish on the Exige S).<br /><br />

Engine: Uses the same 2GR-FE V6 powertrain carried over from the Exige S but the top speed is electronically limited to 145 mph / 233 km/h by the ECM (Electronic Control Module) restricting the throttle from opening when top road speed is being approached.<br /><br />

Suspension: Rear Anti-roll bar diameter increased to 19.5mm to increase stiffness, all other components are carried over from Exige S but the reduced down force generated by the body panels (due to removal of the front splitter and rear aerofoil) requires minor revisions to the front and rear camber angles to re-align front and rear axle responses to ensure the ride and handling performance is comparable to the Exige S.<br /><br />

Wheels: A silver version of the Exige S cast gloss black wheels fitted as standard with the optional diamond cut finished wheels offered as an optional extra.<br /><br />

Brakes: Carried over from the Exige S but with the addition of silver callipers which are exclusive to the Roadster.<br /><br />

Interior trim: Carried over from the Exige S, but features quilted trim finishing’s to the seats and door insert panels on both the Premium and Premium Sports Pack interior trim options. See Technical Service Bulletin 2013/13 for full details.
