The Exige is the Elise's hardened sibling: fixed roof, supercharged 1.8-liter four, and aero developed from Lotus's motorsport programs. US-market cars concluded with the 2011 model year when the federal airbag exemption lapsed. Low production and a genuine competition pedigree have made clean American Exiges quietly sought after.
