Package Options
Severe Duty Clutch
For those dedicated track-day enthusiasts and racers. Provides increased clamping force for better response and durability. Increases pedal effort.
Required for Type III package.
 
Low Inertia Flywheel
The aluminum flywheel reduces the inertia of the clutch/flywheel assembly, providing faster response during acceleration and better engine speed control during heel-toe maneuvers.
Exhaust Headers
SECANT Custom exhaust headers provide improved exhaust flow, extracting the maximum amount of power and torque from the engine. The fabricated manifold reduces vehicle mass by 6 lbs / 2.7 kg - further improving the power-to-weight ratio.
 
Accessory Package
  • Discreet exterior SECANT badging
  • MOMO leather shift knob - matched to the factory Lotus steering wheel
  • Custom floor mats embroidered with SECANT logo
  • Programmable shift light - 3 lights illuminate progressively as the engine nears the rev limiter. Time your shift perfectly, and avoid power loss on shifts.
