Lotus confirms specs and pricing

The latest speed demon from Lotus, the 2010 Exige S 240, will start at $65,690 when it goes on sale in the United States in this fall.
The S240 gets a restyled front end with a larger, more angular air intake flanked by two other vents. There also is a new splitter that wraps around the face of the car.
In the back, there’s a new composite rear wing based on the Exige GT3 road-car concept shown at the Geneva motor show in 2007.
Lotus also confirmed more specs of the S 240. It will draw power from a 1.8-liter Toyota-sourced four-cylinder motor that makes 240 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. The chassis weighs just 150 pounds, and the whole car checks in at just 2,077 pounds.
The EPA figures are 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
The price does not include destination charges.
