About the 2008 Lotus Exige Cup 240
With just 50 units produced in a single year, the Cup 240 stands as one of the rarest and most focused Exiges ever built. This track-special variant pushed the supercharged 1.8-liter Toyota engine to 243 horsepower while stripping away every unnecessary gram. The result was a sub-4-second 0-60 time in a car that weighed less than 2,100 pounds. Russell Carr's aerodynamic package included functional elements designed for circuit work, not show. The Cup 240's extreme rarity and track-bred specification have made it highly collectible, with values reflecting its status as perhaps the ultimate small-displacement Exige. For collectors seeking the most exclusive variant of the Type 111 platform, the Cup 240 represents peak analog performance before Lotus moved to larger engines. These rarely come to market, and when they do, serious money changes hands.
