Lotus has announced the end of production for
North American Elise and Exige models. The fact
that the 1.8-liter 4-cylinder Toyota 2ZZ engine
will no longer be available played an important
role in this decission. Finally, there will be
the following limited editions: Elise SC, Exige
Matte Black and Exige S260 Final Editions.
Lotus will build and import into the US and
Canada just 15 Elise SC, 25 Exige Matte Black
and 30 Exige S260 Final Edition models.

218bhp engine, exclusive matte black paint
