Selling my Chili Red 2006 Lotus Elise. Currently has 70k miles, clean title, street driven and maintenance up to date with recent services completed. This is a fantastic driving car and handles like no other! Very exotic and unique looking, especially in Chili Red paint, it turns heads and gets questions everywhere I take it. Lots of attention! Reason for selling, I currently do not need the car at the moment so it is up for sale. I have recently completed needed services and upgraded to a few aftermarket parts. Runs and drives perfectly, no issues. This lotus is packaged with touring package, track package suspension, and traction control. This is a street driven west coast only car!It will be sold as it is which includes Bilstein Track pack coilovers with 10k miles, Manly Poly motor mounts, Jan speed stage 2 exhaust, black Exige probax seats, black Exige diffusor, JL Audio front and rear speakers, Pioneer MVH-X560 Head unit, Radium quick clam removal kit, GRP mesh kit, black LOTUS lettering for rear clam and more.I recently completed a few services on the car, such as, new Exige clutch, new poly motor mounts, spark plugs, fresh oil change, oil filter change, transmission and diff fluid change, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, new thermostat, new radiator, new exhaust manifold (header to block) gasket, green air filter (plus removed snorkle), replaced full dashboard including all components, new interior carpeting, new HVAC heating and ac module, sanded and polished headlight lens, turn signal seals and much more! All this has been completed in the last 3 month.There are a few small imperfections with the car. Mainly being the front clam in the lip area. Being a street driven car, there is some rash in the front on the underside. The fiberglass needs to be patched and resprayed to look perfect. I recently had the rear clam resprayed and had the reflectors shaved. There are common wear items throughout due to its age, nothing bad. A few scratches on the inside aluminum. Typical wear and tear for a performance car driven on the street. That being said, this car is very well kept and cared for!I am sure I am missing a few things, overall it a clean lotus with a clean title. It is maintained and well kept.

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.

Lotus to add 2 new sports cars by 2020, SUV by 2022

Mon, Jan 29 2018

British sports carmaker Lotus will bring two new sports cars in 2020 with an SUV right behind them in 2021 or '22, becoming the brand's first all-new vehicles since it began production of the Evora back in 2009.CAR Magazine reports the news in an interview with Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales. Of the two cars, he said only that one will be a replacement for an existing car, with the other likely to be a limited-edition, track-focused car slotted above the Evora. It'll base the cheaper of the two on an evolution of Lotus' bonded aluminum chassis, while the other will get a new carbon-fiber chassis and become the brand's new performance flagship. Chinese automaker Geely, which also owns Volvo, purchased a majority ownership stake in Lotus last year, adding what's hoped to be a measure of stability and badly needed investment to years of ownership changes and endless re-iterations of existing models. With Geely money backing the operation, it's likely these two vehicles will be more likely to come to fruition than the last batch of ambitious concepts from the company, which included a new Esprit, Elite, and Elan. Those never progressed beyond the concept stage. The company soon after revealed the Evora GT430 as its fastest, most-powerful road car to date, with a 0-to-60 time of 3.7 seconds, and it put the same supercharged V6 in the Exige to bump up horsepower to 430 and increase torque to 325 pound-feet. Meanwhile, Lotus is ending production of the 3-Eleven this year, and Gales has previously said the company was developing a new Elise for 2020, so it's likely that's one of the new cars. The Elise and Exige were withdrawn from the U.S. back in 2011. The new vehicles will benefit from technology from Geely's network of suppliers, and Geely is also apparently hiring new Lotus staff and investing "millions" in Lotus' production lines. Lotus said its sales were way up in both Europe and the U.S. during its last fiscal year, and while the brand still lost money it narrowed its financial losses and said it expected to be profitable before tax for the current fiscal year.Related Video:

Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls

Sun, 14 Oct 2012

A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.
