Lotus has announced that it will bring its Exige–a re bodied, hardtop version of the Elise–to the United States this fall. Mechanically, the Exige will be identical to the U.S. Elise, which means a 1.8-liter Toyota four making 190 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. We won’t see the supercharged, 243-hp engine from the Europe-only 240-R.
