Last day of the year, last update of the year :) An indepth, again :D

Amother Exige actually. I already had a grey Exige indepth time ago but impossible to say no to a second opportunity, especially since it involved also a beautiful F355 (same owner), a nice ride in a nice sunny day and so on :)

So here they are. the 355 will be in the next indepth obviously ;)

As always, click any preview to be taken to the full 26 high-res pics update

One can see that this Exige is a regular or better put it started it's life as a N/A. Since it's in Switzerland the question remains does it have the Bemani SC conversion??

Sadly not LOL, but only trucks and busses in there ;)

Was that the regular Exige or the supercharged S? anyway... looks fabulous in this colour - although I'd take it in white on black wheels - and the british flag looks great! :D

"Normal" Exige, I have a mini indepth with an Exige S in the pipeline though

Hello and welcome :)
This car, some details aside, is stock

BTW, I even forgot to post some impressions about the passenger ride, which is mindblowing on a mountain road. At every corner you are sure you're gonna die because the breaking point is so damn late compared to a normal car, so is cornering speed, noise and everything else.
When I had my first Exige ride it was on normal roads, but it's on a mountain pass that such car really shines!

the color is for sure perfect for a Exige in combination with the black rims :P

both locations are cool, the forest pics are so clear/sharp (127&128) :D

Great indepth TT
