Lotus - Exige S2 (2007)
From the moment a Lotus Exige S2 rolls onto the track, it’s clear this 2007 performance icon was built to dominate. Enthusiasts and investors alike wonder what the Lotus Exige S2 price actually looks like today – is it still a luxury thrill, or has it slipped into a more attainable niche? The answer depends largely on condition, mileage, and market fluctuations, but the underlying vehicle characteristics stay unmistakably sharp: a lightweight carbon‑fiber frame, a low‑drag stretched body, and a twin‑turbodiesel package that delivers a pulse‑pounding 22 mph per second from a 0–60 mph sprint.

When digging into the used Lotus Exige S2 price or determining "what is a 2007 Lotus Exige S2 worth," buyers quickly encounter the key factor: depreciation. Formula and racing cars trickle straight to the market after a few years, often moving at a faster rate than classical luxury cars. A typical Lotus Exige S2 depreciation curve looks like this:
- First year: ~15–20% drop from MSRP, mainly due to the usual initial depreciation cycle
- Year 2–3: ~5–8% per year as the vehicle finds its footing on used‑car listings
- Year 4–7: ~2–4% per year, with occasional sharp dips if a major mechanical issue surfaces
- Post‑7 years: 1–2% per year, approaching a residual value of 20–25% of the original price
These percentages are conservative estimates; actual figures will fluctuate based on condition, mileage, ownership history, and whether the car has been maintained on the “Lotus maintenance schedule.” A pristine 2007 Exige with under 10,000 km might still command about 45–50% of its original price on a reputable pre‑owned list, while a heavily driven example with 50,000 km could sit near 30–35%.
Comparison context
Compared to similar models, the Exige S2 holds its own. The Lotus Elise 2004, for instance, offers a similar street‑legal badge but is limited to a 7‑speed gearbox and a smaller 1.9 L twin‑turbo engine (~225 hp). In pure power‑to‑weight terms, the Exige edges ahead by roughly 4 hp per kilogram, giving it a checkered‑flag advantage on Valencia’s Circuit or the Nürburgring. Meanwhile, the
