Now, however, Colin Chapman's heirs together of socks, the rampant Exige Portfolio, apparently on three fixed model. The introduction of the Exige 350 forms as in the past. On the other, completely crazy end of the scale, the Exige Cup 430 is seated. And in between, the Exige Sport 410 implant. With the new arrival for a "in Between model" of skin on the plaster.

Adjustable Eibach stabilizers are the front and rear as standard. The forged Ultra-light wheels (available in Black or silver) Michelin Pilot Cup 2 Tires. Behind it, Four-piston calipers sit by AP Racing two piece brake discs from J-hook.
