2006 - Lotus Elise on 2040-cars
Scottville, North Carolina, United States
Car is being relisted because it was purchased by a user with 0 feedback and no intent of paying or following through in any way. Up for your consideration today, we have a 2 owner 2006 Lotus Elise with ~29,900 miles on it (I say this because while this listing is active the car is being driven). This car is awesome. I have been the owner since January of 2013. When I got the car then it has about 13,000 miles on it. I have put ~17,000 on it in the last nearly 2 years, and every one of those miles was a blast. Since I have owned it, the car has been well maintained and serviced. I had a local lotus dealer take care of the oil line connector recall when I first purchased, and I have had a set of tires and a clutch / lightweight flywheel installed in that time. Other than that and of course regular oil changes, air filters, and other standard maintenance, the car has been 100% problem free. The car came stock with a Starshield paint protection (seriously don't buy a lotus without it), Stage 2 exhaust, soft top and matching hardtop, power windows, traction control, power doorlocks, central locking, and keyless entry. Also this is a 2006 which means its the first year to get the upgraded LED Tail lights, which is a huge cosmetic upgrade. The car is mostly stock with a few tasteful additions. I added a Carbon Fiber Weighted Shift Knob for better shifter feel A custom Carbon Fiber Lower Dash Panel Custom Black Lotus Front Emblem Stage 2 Clutch added at ~22,000 miles in preparation for forced induction (which of course i never got around to :) ) Lightweight Flywheel (still very streetable and easy to drive) Black Lug Nuts Custom Carpeted Interior (easy removal if buyer doesn't like) Odyssey PC 925 Battery Custom Mount for Battery Polk Audio Rear Speakers Rockford Fostgate Amp JVC KD NX 5000 Head Unit (previous owner installed) Kenwood KSC-SW1 (previous owner installed) Tinted Reflectors (sheet tint peels right off) Also Included: The stock Owners info (books ect) are included Hard Top Cover Soft top bag Stock Front Emblem Stock Side carpets Passanger Footrest 100% brand new Silverstar 2.0 High and Low beam headlights never installed Please ask any questions before you bid! Im here to help. Also Interior pics are the next step (I want to fully detail the interior before taking them) I will also upload a driving video!

The Stig breaks into Lotus F1 HQ
Mon, 16 Jun 2014As Top Gear's mysterious test driver, The Stig has driven just about everything on wheels - and more than a few things without. But an F1 car? That still remains a rarity, even on Top Gear.
That all changes in this latest promo clip, though. The video shows what happened when his Royal Stigness arrived at the headquarters of the Lotus F1 team in Enstone, England, where he somehow managed to scan his way in past security and got his hands on a Lotus-Renault E21, the V8-powered single-seater that Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean drove in the 2013 Formula One World Championship - and which the Stig will apparently be driving on stage during the upcoming Top Gear Festival in Durban. If you're not heading to South Africa this month, though (or even if you are), you can check out the footage in the video below.
Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
Lotus opens the 2013 Formula One season with the launch of the E21 [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Lotus has broken the seal on the 2013 Formula One season, launching the E21 car at its factory in Enstone. With the regulations this year quite similar to those of last year, there are no dramatic changes in form compared to the E20. After some teams lobbied to be able to cover the stepped nose with a "vanity panel," Lotus retained the configuration, the team's technical director saying that the panel would add more weight and didn't make sense to put on the car unless it also added performance.
Beyond that, the E21 is said to be an comprehensive advance in its details - the suspension gets a new layout, the Coanda exhaust and the passive double DRS system are evolutions from last year, the front wing is "a continuation of concepts" from 2009.
After securing fourth in the Constructor's Championship last year, this is the chassis that drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean will use to try and move the team up a place, which would mean beating one of the big three teams over the course of the season. The quietly and impressively consistent Räikkönen managed third in the Driver's Championship, and we're sure he wouldn't mind a move up in the standings, either.
