Is the Lotus Exige a good investment?
V6 S / Sport 350 (2012–2021)
The thesis
Final-generation Exige ended production December 2021; last pure Lotus before Emira. Supercharged Toyota V6 (345–430hp), manual-only, sub-1200kg. Average sale price $63k (£50k) per Classic.com; Sport 350/410 variants sit £50–70k. Analog driving purity in a modern package. Market hasn't run yet—overshadowed by Porsche/Ferrari but Colin Chapman philosophy resonates as ICE sunset looms. Low production, cult following, strong driver engagement.
