Lotus Exige S — The quickest production Lotus ever
By admin | December 1, 2007
Lightweight. Super sexy. Masculine cuts. Fast. The Lotus Exige S is one of those dream cars that’s not only a pocket sports car, but also an affordable one. Off course, these aren’t cheap (as in a couple thousand bucks), but these are cheaper than your every day Ferrari…
Still — it’s all about the looks and the specs here, and those are both excellent… First off, a presentation vid:
