Based on the most extreme Exige to date - the Sport 350 - the new Lotus Exige 350 Special Edition is a fitting completion to the trilogy of Lotus 50th celebration editions.
Long regarded as the enthusiast's favourite, the new Lotus Exige 350 Special Edition takes the model's benchmark handling and raw performance and adds a sense of occasion. Packing a supercharged 345bhp, 3.5-litre V6 engine, and weighing 26kg less than the Exige Sport 350, the new Lotus Exige 350 Special Edition accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 274km/h. It's also capable of lapping the famous Hethel track in one minute and 29.8 seconds.
Complementing this class leading performance, the car receives a revised front access panel cover, as first seen on the Exige Cup 360, lightweight carbon fibre sports seats, lightweight forged alloy wheels, and a lithium-ion battery as standard to keep kerb weight to a minimum. A choice of four colours help the Lotus Exige 350 Special Edition stand out, while the interior offers the choice between black leather and Alcantara upholstery with bespoke contrast stitching.
Helping to celebrate the company's 50 years in Norfolk, the Special Edition coupe is limited to 50 examples, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Like the already sold out Evora 400 Hethel Edition and Elise 250 Special Edition, this Exige is built to mark 2016 as this anniversary year.
