Lotus Exige Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

FROM
$139,040

Chasing the thrill and pace of a supercar but not made of money? The Exige may still be expensive but smaller engines and extruded aluminium chassis mean the Elise’s hardcore, roofed cousin can be had at the fraction of a cost of a McLaren or Ferrari.

It evolved over the years from having an aspirated high-strung four-cylinder to a supercharged Toyota four-pot and eventually scoring a V6.

Lotus announced the end of production in December 2021.

The line-up currently starts at $139,040 for the Exige Sport 390 Final Edition and ranges through to $224,400 for the range-topping Exige CUP 430 Final Edition.
