Lotus: Elise Base Convertible 2-door on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Pampered 2006 Lotus Elise. No stories or funny Georgia title! If youre looking you already know the basic facts about the Elise; under 2,000 lbs, ultra responsive steering, brakes, road feel and grip. Also its not for everyone. That said this low mileage car has the following going for it: Factory optional 7 spoke forged alloy rims (forged and wider than 8 spoke in front), Yokohama Lotus spec tires with 90% tread left, removable hardtop (they go for $1,500+ used if available), optional storm titanium metallic paint, aftermarket Exige scoops and oversize alloy sump. The pic of the Bilstein coilovers (sport spec) in the front wheel well shows the condition of those parts of the car not normally seen. Notice the aluminum is CLEAN and the wheel well liners are perfect. They have been cleaned with Mothers restorer and finish treatment. That is typical of the overall condition of this car. Aluminum belly pan is without scratches or gouges. NOT perfect but very very nice. YES, there are some flaws. 3/4 long repair in drivers seat if you look hard, several imperfections in the paint. One looks like a spot less than 1/4 in diameter.The front is perfect where they normally eat the pavement under the nose. Had it restored when I got it. Comes with two sets of key/alarm fobs. Overall one of the very best of the best year made. The 2006 has the latest throttle by wire, LED lights, various upgrades WITHOUT the Federal crash bumper weight added front and rear of later editions. On request additional pics can be taken. Thanks for looking.

Race Recap: 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix follows the template of this year and last [spoilers]
Mon, 22 Apr 2013The sand, the wind, the penalties, the contact and the one crash - all of them collided to make the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix a surprise affair from day to day and lap to lap. Oh, and did we mention the tires? Pirelli made a last-minute swap after the amusement park ride that the Chinese Grand Prix turned into with the soft compound tire, and brought medium and hard compounds to the desert. That didn't stop things from falling apart for some teams - literally - and that didn't stop the one team that seems to love the hard compound Pirelli tire.
Lotus team out of Le Mans, full driver list published
Tue, 20 May 2014We can scratch off one more car from the list for the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Lotus T129 LMP1 car has been dropped from the entry list of the 82nd running of the historic race, with organizers citing "a lack of preparation" as the reason. On a more positive note, the list of 168 drivers in 56 vehicles has been officially published for the June 14 race.
Like the Lotus team currently in Formula One, the Lotus T129 uses the iconic British brand's name and colors but is actually built by a separate company. It previously ran a Lola chassis in the LMP2-class (pictured above). The Le Mans organizers claim the car will likely be on display during the 24-hour race, but it won't make it's competition debut until the World Endurance Championship round at the Circuit of the Americas in September. The T129 is being replaced by an Oreca 03 chassis with Nissan power in the LMP2 class, entered by Millennium Racing.
The Lotus' retirement came as the teams had to send in the names of the three drivers nominated to race each car. This year there are racers from 26 countries with the most coming from France (39), Britain (29), the US (17) and Italy (15). The latest tally of entries breaks down to 9 LMP1s, 19 LMP2s, 9 LM GTE Pros, 18 LM GTE Ams and the Nissan ZEOD RC as the experimental Garage 56 entry.
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.
