The top of the dash is CF but the ac and binnacle is the carbon look leather.

Hope the HID lights trickles down to all Exiges and Elise.

The stripe at the rear looks like like Dennis Gage's handlebar mustache from My Classic Car.



BTW - I vote for Moonstone Silver or Prism Green - anything but Candy Red (which is really a pinkish magenta)

The "Dennis Gage" or "Snidely Whiplash" mustache looking stripes are removable, they are vinal.

I'll take some interior shots tomorrow at the LA Auto Show...looks good.

If I read correctly, they have left out the front speakers, and only have rear speakers now? Guess that is to help remove weight. Can't wait to see pix.

There will still be a 220, 240 and the new 260 (but only 50 of these allocated in 2009 for the US).

[Noisycow]

+1 on the awful stripe package. The Gremlin had stripes just like that.

[shay2nak]

how can they sell it for $75k?!

[Uncle Sam]

The stripes are terrible. You can't go wrong with Ardent Red or McLaren (!)Orange, but I'd want BRG.

[Green Hornet]

I know it's not a Lotus color, but if I were to order one I would want McLaren Silver with some McLaren Orange accents like spoiler etc.

Keep that stripe please - ugh

This is a really exciting car

[Jeff and Pamela]

Dear Lotus, please give us the option of a fully painted S260.

That would be like Victoria Secret models not showing their underwear through their clothes!

[shokwaves]

First option should be stripe delete. They're just ugly.

I understand some are removable however I am sure the center mohawk, though, isn't. It might have been fine if someone just would have stopped there and not continued with the Dennis Gage mustache on the rear and those odd shapes in front of the scoops and front panels - maybe done something more like the Club Racer.

FWIW - The bottom rear is begging for a carbon fiber rear diffuser.

[Stormy320]

I like the stripes in the picture.

I would try that McLaren color, but can't go wrong with Chrome Orange.

Sorry guys - black is the most boring color on an Exige.

[Stormy320]

Oops - I looked back at the color options. I don't see any McLaren option. What is he talking about.

[Vishus_1]

I have been thinking more about those stripes (besides the fact the rear looks like Dennis Gage).

If the center mohawk is exposed carbon fiber (I'm guessing just cleared over) what is on the roll hoop (the space between the hatch opening and roof). I didn't read that the rear clam is carbon fiber - so is that section just a cf decal?
