The Lotus Exige Scura has debuted at the Tokyo motor show, showing the dark livery of the special edition coupe. The Exige Scura will have a production run of just 35 units, and the matt black colour is called Phantom Black.

The Exige Scura has a few modifications that add to its nasty look, including front splitter, new air intakes, air scoop and rear wing. Carbon fibre is used extensively in the interior and adds to the look but also, significantly, reduces the weight of the car down to a total of 925 kg.

The Exige Scura is equipped with Lotus’ most powerful engine: the 1.8 litre supercharged four-cylinder at 260 hp which appears on the Exige Cup 260. The limited edition model also has launch control, adjustable traction control, Ohlins suspension, Eibach springs and black forged wheels with Yokohama A048 LTS tyres.
