Lotus Exige S Roadster Images & Details Revealed

Good news for those waiting for the convertible version of the Exige S sports car. Lotus has now revealed images and details of the Lotus Exige S Roadster, which will now join the Exige S, Exige Cup and Exige Cup R.

Lotus Exige S Roadster brings the goodness of an open top model while maintaining the same performance figures of the Exige S coupe. The Exige S Roadster is still powered by the same 3.5 liter V6 engine, but now weighs 10 kg less at 1166 kg, after shedding the rear wing and front splitter.

At £52,900, Lotus has kept the pricing same as the Exige S coupe. So in every sense of the way Lotus has provided buyers with a perfect option to go for either of the models without making any compromises. Specs and performance details in the gallery below.

Exige S Roadster, the fastest Lotus convertible, is sadly not available in India. But we do hope the British brand makes its entry into India in the near future since there is clearly a healthy market for a relatively inexpensive sports car such as this.
