Series 3 (2012 to 2022)

The Lotus Exige Series 3, manufactured globally between 2012 and 2022, represents the model's transition into a serious supercar contender, abandoning the four-cylinder tradition for a potent, supercharged 3.5-litre V6. In the 2026 Australian market, this generation is viewed as the definitive peak of the line, with desirability exceptionally high for the Final Edition series (including the Sport 390, Sport 420, and Cup 430) which featured updated digital displays and the highest power outputs in the model's history. The buyer pool in Australia consists of hardcore track enthusiasts who take advantage of the car's Toyota-sourced reliability for endurance events and discerning collectors who are specifically seeking the "last-of-the-breed" analogue experience before the brand's shift to electric power. Locally, market value has remained incredibly resilient, with well-sorted examples and limited editions commanding a significant premium, as 2026 buyers prioritise cars with a verified Australian service history from specialists like Simply Sports Cars to ensure the mechanical and aerodynamic components are in race-ready condition.
