2006 LOTUS EXIGE

Lotus Exige 265 S - Tastefully Enhanced & Impeccably Maintained

For the past 11 years, this stunning Exige S has been my pride and joy, cherished and maintained with no expense spared. I can honestly say hand on heart, I didn’t foresee myself parting with this car, but my loss will be someone else’s gain.

Finished in the iconic Chrome Orange, complemented by carbon fibre accents, it is a true head-turner. With nearly £40,000 invested in carefully selected upgrades, this Exige has been refined to enhance both reliability and drivability, while preserving the raw, engaging experience that makes these cars so special.

Performance & Engine Upgrades

This Exige has been engineered for reliability rather than chasing peak power. It currently produces a conservative 265BHP and 205 lb/ft, with the potential to produce 300BHP with a smaller supercharger pulley and a remap, should the next owner desire.
