STORY

The Lotus Exige was a hardtop, more track-focused coupe derivative of the Elise, first introduced in 2000. The Series 1 used a Rover K-series engine, while the Series 2 and Series 3 adopted Toyota power, with the S3 offered with a supercharged V6 for substantially higher performance. It combined a fixed roof and added aerodynamics with the Elise's lightweight chassis, remaining in production until 2021.
