Lotus Exige S?

For a design project at school, we are studying about Human Factors in design. One context we are using is the Lotus Exige S Car... does any of the experts/car owners out there have any specific comments about the Lotus Exige about these things:





- Location %26amp; Layout: car windows, handles, gears etc.


- New technologies: How is use of colour, sound and auditory feedback used to warn drivers of different situations - engine management, signaling, gear selection, brake condition etc.


- Benefit for drivers and passengers: Climate controls, heating %26amp; cooling techniques, and other benefits for the driver





10 points for the most informative one!


Thanks to everyone in advance :)

Lotus Exige S?
Location and Layout: Everything in the Lotus is designed for weight savings. So all the handles and such are very light.


New Technologies: There aren't any really in the Lotus, just a light car with a decent engines. It does have very firm suspension which lets the driver "feel" the road.


Benefit for the driver: The Exige is not designed with comfort in mind. It does have standard stuff(HVAC, radio, etc), but other than that it's a track car so it's intended to be as light as possible.
