Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this exceptionally rare 2010 Lotus Exige S260 Sport, one of just 27 examples built for the U.S. market during the model year and one of only eight finished in Phantom Black. Powered by a supercharged 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, this lightweight British sports car exemplifies Lotus' legendary philosophy of performance through simplicity. Showing just 8,821 miles and accompanied by a Clean CarFax, this highly collectible Exige S260 Sport features extensive factory carbon fiber components, forged wheels, AP Racing brakes, and paint protection film on both the front and rear bumpers. Combining razor-sharp handling with remarkable rarity, this exceptional Exige represents one of the most desirable and focused road-going Lotus models ever produced.

Overview

The Lotus Exige S260 Sport represents the pinnacle of the second-generation Exige lineup, blending lightweight construction, race-inspired engineering, and supercharged performance into one of the purest driver's cars of the modern era. Developed from Lotus' championship-winning motorsport programs, the S260 Sport received numerous performance enhancements over the standard Exige, including increased horsepower, extensive carbon fiber components, and reduced weight. With only 27 examples imported to the United States for the 2010 model year, and just eight finished in Phantom Black, the S260 Sport has become one of the most sought-after modern Lotus models among collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.


Finished in striking Phantom Black, this Exige S260 Sport showcases an aggressive yet purposeful appearance highlighted by an extensive array of lightweight carbon fiber components. The front splitter, hood accents, side scoops, hood scoop, and rear spoiler are all crafted from carbon fiber, emphasizing the car's uncompromising performance mission while reducing weight. Lightweight 16-inch front and 17-inch rear forged wheels further contribute to the Exige's exceptional agility, while paint protection film applied to both the front and rear bumpers helps preserve the finish from road debris. Every exterior detail reflects Lotus' relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency and lightweight performance.


The minimalist cockpit continues the Exige's race-inspired philosophy while incorporating premium materials throughout. Black leather upholstery with striking red Alcantara inserts creates a purposeful yet refined environment, complemented by exposed aluminum chassis elements that proudly showcase the Exige's lightweight construction. Carbon fiber dashboard trim and door sills reinforce the motorsport-inspired character, while brushed aluminum accents on the shifter and handbrake provide an authentic mechanical feel. An Alpine four-speaker sound system and Alpine head unit offer modern entertainment without compromising the driver's connection to the road.


Power comes from Lotus' supercharged 1.8-liter inline-four, delivering immediate throttle response and exhilarating performance while maintaining the lightweight balance that has defined the marque for decades. Paired with a precise six-speed manual transaxle, the drivetrain provides an engaging and highly rewarding driving experience. A limited-slip differential maximizes traction during spirited driving, while AP Racing four-piston front calipers and Brembo rear calipers provide exceptional stopping power. An Accusump oil accumulator system provides supplemental oil pressure during high-g cornering and demanding track conditions, offering an added layer of protection for the engine during spirited driving. Rear-wheel drive and the Exige's remarkably low curb weight combine to deliver the responsive handling and communicative steering that have earned Lotus its legendary reputation among driving purists.


Showing only 8,821 miles and accompanied by a Clean CarFax, two keys, a factory car cover, owner's handbook, an extra Alpine head unit, and toolkit, this outstanding 2010 Lotus Exige S260 Sport represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most focused modern Lotus models ever offered in the United States. Finished in highly desirable Phantom Black, one of only eight produced in this color for the U.S. market, this beautifully preserved S260 Sport stands as a remarkable example of Lotus' uncompromising dedication to lightweight engineering and pure driving enjoyment.
