"This year marks the end of an era for Lotus Cars. As we move towards an exciting future, time is being called on production of the iconic Elise and the genre-creating Exige, after 25 and 21 years.

In honour of these two legendary models, we are announcing a range of five new Final Edition cars which have higher power, greater standard specification and – in true Lotus style – light weight.
These cars are the ultimate versions of the Elise and Exige, and mark the pinnacle of technical development to showcase more than two decades of engineering excellence. To be built in limited numbers, each is a fitting tribute to performance cars that are, almost uniquely, legends in their own lifetime.

Five new variants – two Elise and three Exige – have been created. They are available with unique paint colours, new exterior decals, new wheel finishes, new trim and Final Edition badging. The improvements continue under the skin, a fact reflected in new names which reveal higher power outputs on three of the five – the Elise Sport 240, Elise Cup 250, Exige Sport 390, Exige Sport 420 and Exige Cup 430."
