Lotus Exige Sport 350
Raw performance, agility, unparalleled ride and handling. These are attributes that people have come to expect from Lotus and the Exige Sport 350 is no exception. Now also available as a roadster – the lightest possible incarnation of the current generation Exige.
Lighter and faster than before – now with revised bodywork, 51 kilograms lighter construction, revised suspension and increased levels of grip this Exige Sport 350 is 2.5 seconds faster than the Exige S around our famous Hethel circuit.
The improved styling package includes our new optional Heritage Tartan interior, and new gearshift mechanism with exposed design, which combine to deliver a purer sportscar driving experience. The lightweight louvered tailgate completes the dynamic sport styling.
The Lotus Exige Sport 350 is the pinnacle of Exige driving for motoring aficionados looking for high performance, agility, dynamic handling and an exhilarating driving experience.
