This is a beautiful white 2006 Lotus Else. This is the updated from the 2005 model include more comfortable ProBax seats for longer trips and an updated Clutch Cable.

I am selling it to buy a new Jeep Wrangler with more space.

At 6500 RPM the cam kicks in and you feel like you are on a roller coaster. Do NOT drive this car unless you want to be noticed. It is probably the most conspicuous car ever made! Most people assume it is a Ferrari. It comes with a black convertible top and lightweight white hard Cover top -- good for the winter time.

The lotus dealer did an odometer reset at 62,000 miles. I purchased it with 4,000 miles on it (66,000) and put approximately 21,000 miles on the car in the last two years using the car as a daily driver in the NYC metro area.

I have never driven this Lotus on track, though it begs to be driven on the track. It has had Yokohama S Drive tires and currently has Continental DWS Extreme tires. It has interior rubber mats which don't get ruined like carpets

The entire Front Clam Shell was replaced and repainted (A $12,000 job covered by Geico) after the very front bumper was cracked in a very minor front collision in January 2013. The repairs were made through an official Lotus Dealer. This car does not have a bumper, so bumping into someone while going 2mph parking can be an expensive fix. The shop where the rest of the repairs were made is C & S in Mamaroneck 914-698-2860. The official Lotus Dealer also maintained the car. Sports Car Specialists: 49 E Broad St, Hopewell, NJ 08525 (609) 466-5305. The front lights have also been recently replaced.

I have replaced breaks, Rotors, Clutch Cable and have invested approximately 5,000 dollars in oil, fluid, valves and other maintenance over the last two years. I have all the receipts for this maintenance. At some point this Lotus will need a Catalytic converter, but it is not essential for now.

About 5K is still owed to Wells Fargo on the car, so funds will have to be cleared before the Title can be transferred over.

Also comes with two key fobs and a Cobra Alarm system that will deter anybody as it is the loudest alarm I've ever heard.

The car begs to be driven hard. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Lotus Eletre electric SUV reveal: Tune in today at 2:30 p.m Eastern

Mon, Mar 28 2022

The upcoming electric Lotus SUV formerly known as the Type 132 officially has a name. It will be called the Lotus Eletre, and the vehicle’s full reveal is today, Tuesday, March 29. For those curious, Lotus says that Eletre means “coming to life” in some Eastern European languages. If you want to pronounce it properly, Lotus provides the phonetic spelling: “El-etra.” Basically, the "e" at the end is to be pronounced as an "a." Beyond the name announcement, Lotus doesnÂ’t have anything extra to share with us today. The name itself was revealed in a dramatic fashion, as a specially-made yellow cube containing the car was piloted up and down the River Thames in central London. Boats and cars being in the same news story as of late havenÂ’t always been for good reasons, but thankfully, this one seems to have gone just fine. If you want to watch the reveal live, make sure to tune in here at 2:30 p.m. ET Tuesday. WeÂ’ll have the live stream in this post waiting to start, so you can check back in right here at reveal time.

Race Recap: 2013 German Grand Prix is old beginnings, new endings [spoilers]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Just like at Silverstone last weekend, the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg, who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying. So instead it was Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull in second, his teammate Mark Webber in third, the Lotus duo of Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean.
Again, just like at Silverstone - and Canada - Daniel Ricciardo used his magic beans to impress with the Toro Rosso, lining up in sixth, followed by Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Fernando Alonso in the second. Jenson Button in the McLaren, Nico Hülkenberg finished up the top ten.
When the lights went green, it didn't take long for the race to become a black-and-blue affair...

Lotus Advanced Performance division wants to make your dreams come true

Wed, Feb 9 2022

Lotus took a big step in its quest to position itself as a British alternative to Porsche by launching a division called Advanced Performance. Run by a former Aston Martin executive, Lotus Advanced Performance will design and build one-off and few-off models, among other tasks. Most high-end and specialty carmakers operate a program that gives customers some degree of freedom in terms of customization. Lotus was, until now, largely an exception to this rule. It hopes to make up for lost time by giving its Advanced Performance division a surprisingly long list of responsibilities. First the department will be responsible for building "ultra-exclusive and unique vehicles" that will not be part of the firm's regular-production line-up. One of these (shown in a sketch above) looks like it draws inspiration from classic Formula One cars. Details are few and far between, but the massive rear wing speaks volumes about the kind of halo cars we'll see in the not-too-distant future. What's unclear is whether Lotus will take customer requests. We've reached out, and we'll update this story if we learn more. Designing limited-edition models and developing race cars will also fall within the scope of Advanced Performance's responsibilities. And, it's the door that buyers who want to customize their car will need to knock on; they'll be able to select different paint colors, trim materials, and upholsteries. Optional extras and a range of Lotus-branded accessories will also emerge from Advanced Performance's headquarters. Immersing customers and enthusiasts into the Lotus world is important as well, so Advanced Performance will organize tours of the brand's production lines, organize driving academies around the world (including on the Hethel test track in England) and prepare "money can't buy" opportunities for clients. There's no word yet on what these experiences will look like; more information should emerge later in 2022. Lotus put Simon Lane in charge of its Advanced Performance division. He's a good choice: his resume includes leading Aston Martin's Q division, whose list of responsibilities looks a lot like Advanced Performance's. Q notably brought us the V8-powered Cygnet in 2018 and the one-of-a-kind Victor unveiled in 2020. Some of its other projects have been more tame: it gave the DBX a long list of carbon fiber parts.
