MY09 cars are said to arrive by late December of '08 the earliest but realistically, I don't see them coming until January and maybe even February of 2009.

With the exception of the Exige S220, the only changes to MY09 cars will be pricing as base price will go up a few hundred dollars. In addition to current models, Lotus will come out with an Exige S260 in both Cup Car and street legal versions and is said to weigh a couple hundred pounds less than the current Exige models....something about fuel tank and carbon bits.


Hope this helps, thanks

That's great that Lotus is offering different levels at different price points.
