This 2008 Lotus Exige S 240 is a pristine, collector-grade example of one of Lotus’ most focused and exhilarating driver’s cars. Finished in Chrome Orange Metallic (B25) over black leather, it was originally delivered by Manhattan Motorcars and is 1 of only 2 U.S. 2008 Exige S240s built with this exact color, trim, and options configuration. From the factory, it was comprehensively equipped with every available option — Lifestyle Paint, Star Shield, Track Pack, Touring Pack, and Limited-Slip Differential — combining the most desirable features into a balanced road and track specification. With only approximately 11,750 miles, a clear title, and an immaculate presentation, the car has never been tracked and remains in exceptional mechanical and cosmetic condition.
Enhancements have been selected with care and restraint, all consistent with the car’s original ethos of lightness and precision. Performance upgrades include Penske suspension, a ProRad radiator, GRP LED tail lights, and Lotus Cup wheels wearing brand-new tires. The car’s aesthetic and functional refinements extend to a $5,000 custom interior upgrade, updated radio with a bespoke “Exige” startup screen, and full paint protection film with ceramic coating. High-quality carbon fiber components — including Arie mirrors, GRP front lip, side scoops, and skirts, and a matte carbon/Alcantara steering wheel with orange stitching — lend a refined motorsport feel, while subtle touches like black-out hardware add individuality without excess.
Included with the car are its factory mirrors, scoops, spoiler, taillights, and accessories, underscoring its completeness and preservation. Every modification and accessory reflects a philosophy of purposeful enhancement — elevating driving engagement and aesthetics without compromising originality. As a result, this Exige S 240 represents not just a rare and meticulously maintained example, but an expression of Steven’s broader ethos: mechanical purity, disciplined curation, and timeless performance by design.

I’ve owned a number of sports cars over the years, but none have felt as special as this Exige S 240. It captures everything that makes driving truly rewarding — the immediacy, balance, and purity that modern cars have lost. This is the kind of car that leaves a lasting impression, the one you think about long after it’s gone. Once it’s sold, you don’t get it back.
