The 1000th Exige S has just rolled off the Lotus production line marking a key milestone for the British sports car and is testament to the skill and dedication of the workforce based at Hethel, Worcester, Wellingborough and North Norwich.
Since its launch in 2012, the Exige S has achieved critical acclaim for its agility and handling performance, receiving praise from the international media and high profile accolades. The Exige S has been impressing customers too, particularly in Japan where the car has received most of its orders, followed by the UK, Switzerland, Australia, Hong Kong and Belgium.
Lotus continues to expand the appeal of the Exige S and the 1000th car is destined for Lotus’s Test and Development team where it will be used for the final sign-off of the new automatic gearbox, an optional extra that can be specified on either Coupe or Roadster variants.
In a statement, Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales said "Our customers want a pure driving experience and the Exige S epitomizes the Lotus DNA of performance and handling excellence. It is thanks to the considerable talent and experience across our UK manufacturing facilities and at our Hethel headquarters that we are able, and proud to give this exceptional machine a Lotus badge."
