   Vehicle Description
The 2009 Exige 260 is the most pure, focused and powerful street-legal series-2 production Exige to date.

In the US, the Exige Sport 260 was sold as a street-legal homologated continuation of the former track-only CUP version (available from 2006 to 2007). In other markets around the world the 260 was not only sold as a Sport 260 but also offered a track prepped CUP version. The CUP version included fuel/electrical cut-offs, optional extinguishing system, A-shaped harness bar and did not have air bags.

Originally 50 units were intended to be allocated to the US and 40 throughout the rest of the world – however, these totals were severely reduced as a result of production complications and global economic conditions. Presently (Nov 2009), there are only 21 (not including the pre-production LA show car) total known to have been delivered to the US.

In the US, the 2009 Exige Sport 260 retailed for $74,995 and only offered Starshield and colors as options (Ardent Red and British Racing Green were standard color choices). This is the most expensive Exige offered in the US however the sum of its unique components, priced individually, far exceed the difference from a comparably equipped S 240.
