2022 Lotus Exige Sport 420 Final Edition

OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2022 Lotus Exige Sport 420 Final Edition showing just 982 km (610 mi) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Vortex Grey over a Black Alcantara and leather cabin, this mid-engined racecar for the road puts the finishing touch on some 20 years of Lotus excellence. 

British automaker Lotus has a reputation for creating some of the most driver-focused sports cars in the industry. Since the Exige debuted in 2000, they have been constantly refining and perfecting the recipe of this genre-defining track special.

To commemorate the end of production, Lotus put together the limited production Exige Sport 420 Final Edition - and pulled out all the stops in the process. The supercharged V6 is more powerful than ever, the wheels, tires, and suspension are lifted from the Cup 430 racer, and the interior is loaded with bespoke touches.

Today’s Vortex Grey example is one of these ultra-rare specials. A car that sits incredibly low to the ground, shows off its 6-speed manual linkage, and boasts of its unassisted steering. Lotus was going for a hardcore drive experience without distraction in these Sport 420 Final Editions. This Exige is for the drivers.
