I have a 2007 Storm Titanium Lotus Elise for sale. In near mint condition, it was just service approximately 400 miles ago in November at FVMC in Hinsdale. New rear tires a few thousand miles ago. Has 11283 miles currently. Options - star shield, premium pack, hardtop, traction control and metallic paint. Hardtop has been on car a few times and has been stored in the stock cover. Runs great, very little to no wear in the interior. Has stock Alpine stereo and speakers with iPod dock. I've owned it since June of 2011 - bought it in Texas when we lived there. Its been in storage in the winters since moving to Chicago and comes with a custom Dust Eze cover that fits it like a glove. Bone stock other than the floor mats and buttons which are brand new (Not OEM, but carpet grade). I have records from the past few years as well as original sticker. Only blemish is a small paint chip on the drivers side near the marker ( 1/4") and a blemish in the fiberglass from the factory (per FVMC) in the rear clam. Neither are noticeable. Leather has been treated with 'Hide Food' for the past couple of years, so it is very soft. We are moving back to TX and I don't want to ship it back -it is scheduled to be picked up by the truck, so I will ship it back to TX if it doesnt sell. . Any questions, please ask.

Lotus settles with ex-CEO Dany Bahar, avoids London High Court
Sun, 25 May 2014Five years after it began, it appears the Dany Bahar tenure at Lotus is finally over. After former Lotus owner Proton brought in the ex-Ferrari and Red Bull marketing savant to run the company in 2009, everything had gone pear-shaped by 2012: Proton had been sold to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom, who suspended Bahar and then fired him for what it said were expense-account transgressions (although Bob Lutz reportedly said something different).
The separation led to the expected suit and countersuit, Lotus going after Bahar to get its money back, Bahar filing a $10.6-million suit againt Lotus for wrongful termination and potential bonus money. The case was set to go to trial next month but both parties have settled, the terms undisclosed, a DRB-Hicom statement saying only that "the parties involved in the legal suit have signed a Settlement Agreement and Release... and have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other."
Now that that bit of housecleaning is all cleared up, can new CEO Jean-Marc Gales please get our Esprit?
Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]
Sun, 17 Mar 2013A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.
Lotus Exige S Roadster coming this summer to a circuit near you
Wed, 01 May 2013We haven't heard much about the Lotus Exige S Roadster since we first saw it at the Geneva Motor Show last year, but Lotus is now confirming the car will go on sale this summer. Of course, unless anything has changed since the car was introduced, Lotus' "ultimate roadster" will still not be coming to the US.
Lotus has released a new video showing its 345-horsepower roadster in action, and while it doesn't even show that much of the car, you can check out our live images of the Exige S Roadster in our gallery. The video, which looks like a knockoff of a Universal Studios movie trailer, is posted below.
