 So, you want an exotic car? Don't we all. But not many of us have pocket books deep enough to justify buying one let alone drive the kids around in it. However, you may be surprised by this exotic car, the Lotus Exige S. It's an exotic car without an exotic price tag, but you still cannot drive the kids around in it. With an exotic car, 1 out of 2 isn't bad.

With unrivaled handling, the new Exige S 240 sprints to 60 MPH in a blistering 4.1 seconds and sails past 100 MPH in just 10 seconds – while also delivering excellent fuel economy of 26 mpg highway.
The roof integrated air inlet scoop directs more air to the intercooler and enhanced front brakes increase braking performance. Other improvements, including variable traction and launch control, allow the Exige S 240 to cater to the individual driving style of its owner.
The Exige S 240 is an ultimate sports car that fits like a racing glove.
So, let's see what you get for your money when looking at the Lotus Exige S 240:

What We Chose
Base MSRP : $65,690 USD
Touring Pack
$1,600 USD | Track Pack
$1,650 USD | Limited Slip
$590 USD | Metallic Paint
MSRP Including Selected Accessories $69,720 USD
We chose the Track Pack and the LSD package. Us at THM don't take to cars to well when they don't handle too well on the track. Besides, how could you ever have a mid-engine exotic sports car without an LSD?
We also like black because it hides the dents that we often inccur while at the track.
