Amazingly fun car. I have owned the car for the last 25,000 miles and have loved every bit of it. Unfortunately for me, family matters come first so I must sell it. It is a Turbo charged Elise, putting 260 horsepower to the pavement. It is quicker than even the Exige S260! For those of you who want to know all of the technicalities about the turbo system, the complete build can be found by going to Google and searching for Perrin Performance Lotus and it should be the first link that shows. I am not a technical person, so it would be useless for me to even try to explain what the car has added parts wise. All I know is the car is fast and fun. The previous owner of the vehicle is the owner of Perrin Performance. This was his wife's car, until he started to fall in love with it. The boost is set conservatively at 8 psi, but even that is enough to put this light car in the races with supercars. The power to weight ratio is phenomenal.
PERRIN Turbo Lotus 7.6 pounds per WHP C6 Vette 8.8 pounds per WHP 997TT 7.7 pounds per WHP ZO6 Vette 6.5 pounds per WHP The car is a blast even if you never take it to the track. You feel like a rock star just sitting in it.The paint is pristine except for 2 places. One scratch on the removable hard top, and one paint chip on the rear deck area. Both are minor. There is also an issue with the cluster going in and out. It is a common issue with Lotus gauges and can be fixed by soldering the back connectors. It is not a major issue and causes no drivability concerns. If you have any questions about the car, you can call me at 502-330-1359 and I will be glad to talk. If I dont answer, leave a message. I work a lot and cant always get to my phone. |

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
Lotus C-01 motorcycle shows its carbon-fiber face
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Well, this isn't exactly what we were expecting. The images you see above come from Motorcycle News in the UK and are apparently official renderings of what the upcoming Lotus C-01 motorcycle will look like. As you can see, it's sort of a power cruiser, with a raked-out front end and extremely wide rubber out back.
Power will reportedly come from a liquid-cooled V-twin engine sourced from KTM, similar to the one used in the Austrian's brand's own RC8R, but tuned to produce around 200 horsepower. It appears that the powertrain and all its related necessities will be housed in a carbon fiber monocoque (whether the bodywork serves as a stressed member or not, we can't say) in a traditional-looking black (really, exposed carbon fiber weave) and yellow color scheme.
From the looks of these renderings, the C-01 might be intended as a competitor for the Ducati Diavel and ought to be very quick in a straight line. We're not so sure that's what a motorcycle wearing the Lotus badge should be, even if its builders are only using the marque's name under license, but we're looking forward to seeing the final result in production trim.
Lotus to receive $16M government grant
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Troubled British automaker Lotus is getting a second infusion of cash following a 100-million-pound ($161.5-million) investment by its parent company DRB-Hicom that was made in August. The substantially smaller investment, a mere 10 million pounds ($16.2 million), comes from the British government's Regional Growth Fund.
The fund, which is part of a 3-billion-pound ($4.8-billion) fund to spur economic growth in the UK, will allow Lotus to invest even further in research and development as it seeks to reinvent its lineup of lightweight sports cars. The fund will also allow the UK-based outfit to provide further training for its new crop of employees.
"This grant is part of a wider strategy for Lotus created to ensure we thrive and grow. We are responding to increased global demand for our cars and engineering consultancy services and this grant will help to position Lotus as the forefront of global automotive innovation," said Aslam Farikullah (shown above with UK Business Secretary Vince Cable MP), the chief operating officer at Lotus.
