Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 11:00

Lotus has announced its new Exige S Roadster will be priced from £52,900 – exactly the same as the hard-top Exige S.

Five months after winning its third consecutive F1 constructor’s title, Red Bull has teamed up with F1 engine producer’s Renault to celebrate with a special hot hatch.
