Product Overview

Lotus Exige Series 1 is a subcompact sports car in production from 2000 to 2001. It was powered by a naturally-aspirated Rover inline-4 engines that displaced 1.8 liters paired to a 5-speed manual transmission.

Essentially a coupe variant of the famous Lotus Elise, the original Exige was exceptionally light and nimble. It was built in very limited numbers and, though it was not a high-performance or luxury vehicle, has quickly become highly sought after.

Utility-minded owners will likely need to keep an alternative for hauling things around, as the tiny cargo space is almost surely insufficient.
