Product Overview

Lotus Exige Series 3 Roadster is a subcompact targa in production from 2013 to 2021. It was available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 3.5 liters.
Notably, the Roadster is a new variant on top of the base coupe. Unlike previous Exige models, the Series 3 also has V6 engines, still sourced from Toyota.
Utility-minded owners will likely need to keep an alternative for hauling things around, as the tiny cargo space is almost surely insufficient.
