Is the Lotus Exige a good investment?

The thesis

The Exige S2 S is the first supercharged Exige, with 217 hp from a Toyota/Eaton-blown 1.8, 935 kg curb weight, and 0–60 in 4.1 seconds. It offers exotic-slaying handling and track capability at a fraction of supercar money, with Toyota reliability. Values have been stable for years and the market is starting to recognise S2s as analogue icons. Prices sit comfortably in your budget and have genuine upside as electrification looms.
