Lotus: Exige on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I am selling my NA 2006 Lotus Exige in Solar Yellow. I have owned it since October 2014. I purchased it with 14k miles from Autoquest in Ft. Myers, FL. It has been my daily driver since then and now sits at 44,000 miles. My commute is 75 miles per day, 70 miles of that being highway. It has been very reliable and has made the commute a blast for almost two years. I am sad to sell it, but I have the itch to get into another toy. I have not tracked the car, but did one autocross day. Its a blast to drive! The oil recall was compeleted. This Exige was optioned with the touring pack, track pack, LSD, starshield, and floormats with aluminum buttons. The following tasteful mods have been compelted: -Toda flywheel and ACT Clutch - Forcefed Header - 2bular Exhaust - 2bular Diffuser - Nitron Singles Coilovers - gPan 3 baffled oil pan - TRACK mounts motor mounts - RTD brace - Stiffy 2 Chassis Brace - Boomerand Tow Hook - Aluminum Jacking Pins - Fire Extinguisher - Stainless Steel Brake Lines -Genuine Lotus Sport Carbon Fiber Wing -Carbon Fiber front splitter -Carbon Fiber side vents -Toyo R888 tires July 2015 -DBA 4000 rotors/new pads July 2015 It has a clean title (in hand) and clean Carfax. I am the second owner. The first owner was a pediatrician in Oregon I believe. The blower motor for the AC/Heater does not work some days. One of the LEDs in the left tailight is out. The headliner started falling, so I removed it. The check engine light is on with a P0420 code due to the headers. The car does have a catalytic converter. The exhaust is just the right volume with nice pops on the deaccel. The original wing, side vents, and splitter will be included. Also included are service records, manual, toolkit, 1 key, 2 fobs.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Lotus to layoff a quarter of its workforce
Thu, 18 Sep 2014Lotus has issued a press release to day, wherein it indicates that a "need to both reshape its organisation and to reduce costs" may result in the loss of "up to 325" jobs. That's a fairly significant number of layoffs for any company, but considering that Lotus currently employs 1,215 people (per the company's bio in the same release), it could mean a full 25-percent of the automaker's workers could soon be sharpening their resumes.
CEO Jean-Marc Gales says in the statement that Lotus has "worked very hard to avoid the need to make this proposal," but admits that it is now "essential" to the future of the company. The chief indicates that post-restructuring, he expects Lotus to be a "leaner" and "more competitive" organization, one which - and we can all see a little silver lining here - is focused on "producing class-leading sports cars and innovative engineering."
The 325-job number appears to be soft at this point, with the statement indicating that some negotiation about which and how many posts will be cut is yet to come. Further, the company may "redeploy" some employees, and may even recruit new blood for "key roles," all with an eye toward running the strongest possible team going forward. Though, we imagine that the recruitment bit won't fly well for those employees getting the sack.
Lotus slated to stop selling Evora in US
Mon, 22 Sep 2014It's been three years now since Lotus stopped selling the Elise and Exige in North America, leaving the Evora as its only model available Stateside. But according to the latest from Car and Driver, even that model is on its way out.
The problem reportedly comes down to air bags. Lotus was granted a temporary exemption from fitting the latest-generation smart airbags to the Evora, but that exemption is set to expire at the end of the year. And once it does, Lotus apparently has no intention of developing and fitting the proper equipment to allow it to continue selling the Evora in the United States.
Once the Evora is gone from our market, Lotus will be reduced to selling only track-bound versions of the Elise and Exige in the US, so the prospect of actually buying a new Lotus and driving off the dealer lot will vanish into thin air.
