Lotus is really poised to make an impact with their F1 venture next year. And that doesn’t mean that they will be forsaking their production car line up as well.

Meet the 2010 Lotus Exige Scura – a special edition Exige that will be featured in the Tokyo show. The show is rather stale with everyone else pulling out so that wuld make the Scura one of the more interesting sports car at the show.

The car’s powered by a supercharged engine complete with an intercooler that dishes out 260 horses. Might not be much but in lightweight car, that’s a lot. 0-62 mph is pegged at just 4.1 seconds and the top spee, 152 mph.

For added tech goodness, the car has a launch control system, variable slip traction control, and two-way adjustable dampers for personalized ride and handling.

Lotus might not make the fastest supercars but their line of agile sports cars are sure to give sports car enthusiasts viable options even if they don’t have the money to buy Italian exotica.
