2005 Lotus Exige 240R Preview

In North America and across the globe, Lotus is making a rebound as a seriously competitive sports car manufacturer. With the demise of the supercar-challenging Esprit V8, the brand has been left with all of two vehicles - the mid-engined Elise roadster and the track-day hardtop variant, the Exige. Now in their second generation, the dynamic duo is starting to pull full force on the sports car scene and there's no better proof than the limited-edition Exige 240R, built by Lotus Sport, the brand's performance arm.
