Lotus to develop an Exira

Lotus announced today it will make a limited-edition (200 cars) called the Exira in honor the legendary Exige, one of Lotus best track models. Building on the legacy of the Exige, the Exira represents a quantum leap forward for Lotus. Those instantly recognizable brand signatures and core values have been combined with a paradigm shift in levels of practicality, comfort, functionality and technology.

Nice try

I want / need / desire more air vents on the hood!!

I know this is a joke, but I totally dig the big wing.

I wonder what this beauty would cost if it ever got built?

I hear that deliveries of the Exira could be delayed.

I actually like the carbon black pack. Is that a Pagani roof scoop? Looks familiar but I can't place it. Zonda R maybe?
