Anybody need a collectible car for their garage? I've got one for ya. This is an absolutely beautiful car to add to the collection. This car has amazing paint. Only two teeny tiny blemishes that were touched up by a body shop. Not a touchup pen from walmart. It also has a few minor scratches around the door handle probably from the keys many years ago. Other than that the paint is flawless. Interesting fact, lotus only painted certain cars black. The fiberglass body had to be a certain quality to meet that standard. So it's a rare color.

The interior is in amazing shape as well. No stains, no rips or tears anywhere. The drivers seat does have wear on it but it's not terrible. One gauge has been replaced with an aftermarket gauge which isn't the prettiest but you get use to it. Other than that the interior is mint. Very VERY clean.

The motor runs great. Fires up first time every time. I will take a video of it running so you can see how good it runs! The transmission shifts smooth as butter. There are no mechanical problems with the car. The car has had lots of upgrades, however we never received documentation of where that work was done. The previous owner had it for about 12 years, had the title reworked into his wifes name then I bought it. Here's the list of upgrades its had done.

Upgraded Lotus Red Racing Computer

Brembo Brakes

HRE Performance Three Piece Rims

Upgraded Turbos (Unsure of make model specs etc)

2003-2004 Tail LIghts

This is a car you have to see to believe it is a true beauty. I will post a video in a bit of the car running so you can hear to motor, and I will do a walk around. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as I can.

Buyer will pay a deposit within 24 hours of auction closing and Buyer is responsible for transport of the vehicle. We can help with arranging transport but you must contact us and there will be a small fee, and buyer pays for the transport.

Thanks for looking!

Lotus plans detuned Evora sans supercharger for US market

Wed, Mar 23 2016

We may never see a new version of the Elise or Exige in the United States, but the legendary British marque has been steadily rolling out new versions of the Evora 2+2 sports car. According to Automotive News, the automaker based in Hethel is planning a detuned version of the Evora to help it get in line with US emissions regulations. "Over a five-year period in the U.S. we have to show a 3 percent per year reduction in carbon dioxide emissions," Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales told AN. "One option is remove the supercharger." Gales apparently feels that's a better option than downsizing to a 2.0-liter turbo four, which would require more reconfiguration than simply removing the supercharger. The former Peugeot chief cites the example of another British sports car manufacturer in McLaren, which detuned the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 from the 650S to slot into the 570S. In any event, the base Evora wouldn't be the only new version of the model we're expecting to see. The company recently rolled out the revised Evora 400, and revealed the even sharper Evora Sport 410 (pictured above) at the Geneva Motor Show last month. Lotus also has an Evora roadster in the works that's similarly targeted at the North American market. Following the base model, we wouldn't be surprised to see even more variants to follow.

Evora GT430 revealed, Lotus' most powerful road car ever

Thu, Jul 20 2017

A new Lotus grows in the English garden of lightness and speed. Lotus bills the Evora GT430 as the company's fastest, "most powerful and accomplished road car to date." And the stats seem to back that up. Lotus says the GT430's 0-to-60 time is a brilliant 3.7 seconds, the logical result of putting a 3.5-liter V6 supercharged and charge-cooled engine producing 430 horsepower into a car with a curb weight of 2,858 pounds (2,768 pounds exsanguinated). Lotus, in continual pursuit of its fetish for lightness, used carbon fiber (some of it exposed) and lightweight chassis innovations to knock 81 pounds off the curb weight of the already-quite-light Evora 410. Other comparison points: The 410 makes 410 horsepower, hence the name, with a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds. The GT430 also gains torque over the 410, generating 325 pound-feet, though higher in the rev range at 4,500 rpm, to the 410's output of 310 at 3,500. The GT430 comes only with a six-speed manual (you can get an automatic in the 410 if so inclined), and its top speed is 190 miles per hour. Tack on aero, notably the large carbon wing, that generates up to 550 pounds of downforce (that's at top speed, but there's plenty far slower), and Lotus says the result is "tremendous real-world speed and handling unheard of in its class." It's the first new product announcement since news broke of Lotus' sale to China's Geely. Only 60 Evora GT430s will be built, at a base price of 112,500 pounds (VAT included) that will escalate quickly with options. That's around $125 grand, assuming you could get one here. Check out Lotus' website for details. Related Video: Featured Gallery Lotus Evora GT430 View 15 Photos Image Credit: Lotus Auto News Lotus Technology Coupe Performance Geely
