The car is in excellent shape, you are not going to have any problems to drive it.
If you interested in the car, plz do not hesitate and make an offer, do not worry about my feelings if u think the
offer is low, the offer doesn't bite, so it will not shed my blood and I always can decline it, counteroffer or ...
accept it, you never know.
For sale is the one of the best street/track cars on the planet. However, what makes it amazing, no power steering,
is the reason I am forced to sell it. My doctor has diagnosed me with torn ligaments in my bicep and shoulder and
as a result, I’m forced to part with my favorite car in the whole world.
The second reason is that I passed 65 and it's getting more and more inconvenient to get in and out and the ride is
a noisier and shaky then I would prefer now.
I'm the second owner for this beautiful Lotus Exige 220 S and it was purchased originally with 11,000 miles, to
which I’ve put on an additional 57,000 miles myself.
Of the additional miles that I added 70% were on highways, 20% on the track, and 10% on the streets.
I stopped tracking it for 2 years now, and almost stop driving since the injury progressing, so the suspension and
wheel alignment tuned to perfect street driving.
The car has had no incidents at the racetracks or anywhere else, but unfortunately, a few years ago while driving
on the street an old Mack truck did not see that I was in front of it on a red light and started to creep towards
the light. Because the entire car is fiberglass and the truck had guard rails, even though it was an accident at
about 3-5mph there was damage to the fiberglass to the left rear which is visible in the photos. There was
absolutely no damage to anything structural, as it was purely a cosmetic issue, which is why I decided to not get
it fixed.
If u want to repair it, that's not a problem.
Today the fiberglass is not a problem to repair.
The Fibertech fixes the cracks and scuffs - heavy material that is a mix of Fiberglass and Kevlar - but very
strong.
"There are many benefits to using the Fibertech brand of fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) and fiberglass
reinforced concrete (GFRC) by Wilson Composites, LLC. It produces an unsurpassed building material with an
exceptionally high strength-per-dollar cost". "Our Fibertech products do not rot or rust, do not absorb water,
cannot be damaged by termites or other insects, and feature a long-lasting composite surface".
The car is super reliable, I'm not a poor man and never save money on cars, especially track cars of which I have
had many.
The safety driving on streets and especially on track is the most important issue and for that the machinery must
be kept absolutely healthy and money was spent without limits keep the cars in best shapes.
The very positive side of the Lotus is that parts are relatively inexpensive because it's a small car and easily
endure the pressure since it's a light car and was designed for track use more than for street use.
The car has some cosmetic wear and tear as any car with mileage.
The official name of the color is Canyon Red.
The sum of doors number 939 totals 21 - Blackjack Game winning number.
Although the car is now used for street driving only, it was prepped for the track - street (I drove to and
back from tracks in this car on these tires) from the start and includes many aftermarket parts from Sector 111:
Aftermarket Stiffer sway bar
Sector 111 slotted rotors
Pagid RS14 brake pads 60% - 70% left
Aluminum Radiator
New bushings
New Tie Rods
V2 Fuel Tank
V2 Oil Pan
Upgrade brake lines
Carbon Fiber larger roof scoop
Upgraded Intercooler
Trackmate
Rear Camera (Requires LCD display)
6-Point Harness System (However they are expired 2015)
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza R11 with 50% tread life
New, recently changed, stock OEM supercharger
Practically new Bilstein PSS10 adjustable suspension
New, just about 15,000 miles gear box
New Larini exhaust from Sector 111
The car was extremely well maintained by the Intermecanica in Mamaroneck, NY which is well known for dealing with
Lotuses only.

Lotus hits the track with new Elise S Cup R

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you want to take a Lotus to the track but the Exige V6 Cup is a bit too much to handle, the boys from Hethel have a new offering that may be of interest.
The new Elise S Cup R features all the track-tuned bells and whistles of its six-cylinder brethren, including a competition-spec aero kit, adjustable suspension, Yokohama racing slicks on 17-inch forged alloys, tow hooks, remapped ECU, cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes and an interior with a HANS-compatible bucket seat, six-point racing harness and quick-release steering wheel. But instead of a heavier and more powerful V6, the Elise S Cup R "adds lightness" with the same 1.8-liter supercharged inline-four with 217 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque as the road-going Elise S. Yet with all that track-tuned gear, it's a good four seconds per three-mile lap faster than the showroom stock version in the automaker's testing.
Interested parties can pick one up in the UK for £39,125 (before taxes, equivalent to about $63k) and either lap it to their hearts' content at private track days or enter it in one of the dozen Lotus Cup series operating around the world. Lotus only released this one photo (click above to enlarge), but you can check out the full specs in the press release below.

Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus

Mon, 27 Aug 2012

File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.

New Lotus owners ditch ambitious five-year plan

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

This didn't take long. The new overlords at Lotus have reportedly scrapped the company's five-year plan. DRB-Hicom ditched the turnaround strategy, penned by ousted CEO Danny Bahar, because it believes the market viewed the plan as overly ambitious.
The new product plan will slim the number of new model lines from five to three, and Lotus will likely slash the number planned consultants in favor of relying more heavily on in-house talent. According to The Star, the move should help expedite product development and save cash at the same time.
Even so, nothing is written in stone as of yet. DRB-Hicom says the new plan will take up to a year to finalize. The company has dumped around $242 million into Lotus so far this year, and the struggling automaker may require another $121 million by 2013. Lotus all but stopped production earlier this year during a loan freeze, but the lights came back on in April. The company now produces around 44 vehicles per week.
