Hello:

 I am selling my Lotus Esprit V8 twin Turbo, it is a 1997 and immaculate cosmetically and near flawless mechanically. I would not be selling it but can only keep one weekend car and my other listing (BMW widebody 540i show car) has not had any offers close to what I am asking) so Esprit has to find a new home.  Here are the details:  Purchased it in July 2011 with 31.8 k miles and previous owner was a collector who was fanatical with his cars. Symbolic Motors in San Diego Calif, Lotus Prep by Claudius and Viking Motors in Costa Mesa were only shops that worked on it since his ownership. I had Lotus Prep on 4/3/13 reset the ECU (battery went too low about 9 mos ago), install Claudius built straight pipe and Momo red accent steering wheel. Timing belts always checked on timely basis, I had Symbolic Motors check the belts prior to purchase and they were perfect, car was also given clean bill of health. Mechanic at Symbolic stated my Esprit was probably the nicest he has worked on. I was told it was worth $ 35 K by Lotus Prep.  Has stock and Race ECUs, stock pipe and Claudius straight pipe (not too loud), Electronic Boost controller( pro installed and always set at low pressure), Blow off valves, K& N filter, CD player with speakers and subwoofer, upgraded factory OZ wheels (no road rash or corrosion, showroom condition), I am very picky and rate the cosmetic condition a solid 9.4 (most people think it is a 2012 and for a 16 yr old car, simply unbelievable). Mechanics are close to mint (please contact me for details), I firmly believe you will be hard pressed to find another Esprit in this condition both mechanically and cosmetically. Now the awesome part, within last 8K has new alternator, fuel pump, 2nd gear and clutch, transmissions shifts great and even reverse is excellent, etc etc.  Have books and very detailed records, current Calif registration, clear CA pink slip. Car is located near Los Angeles.  If your looking for a V8 Esprit please check mine out, it is a turn key example and most importantly mechanically sound and cosmetically absolutely pristine.  If you have any questions my cell is 213 216-2285     Just a FYI, these pictures were taken about 2 weeks ago, reason the new car title is taped to front windshield, I don't have a front license plate attached to front bumper and don't want to be pulled over by CHP in California.    Thanks

Lotus Elise, Exige recalled over oil line fire risk

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Lotus is recalling 451 examples of the Elise and Exige from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The cars in question, built from December 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007 could be affected by an oil cooler line that detaches from its fitting. If the line comes loose it could release oil onto the engine and possibly start a fire, or onto a tire and potentially cause a crash.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates the recall is expected to begin on March 4. Notified owners can take their cars to their dealers for repairs to the lateral oil cooler hose and hose fittings. You'll find the full release from the NHTSA below with more information.

Xcar tosses the Lotus Evora 400 around in the rain

Sat, Aug 1 2015

Lotus appears to be blooming again after a rocky period, and the company is launching the Evora 400 here in December for $89,900. Xcar just got a hold of one of these updated coupes on a rainy day to find out if it can be a Porsche competitor. With 400 horsepower, the aptly named Evora 400 tops the Porsche Cayman GT4 by 15 ponies, and with a purported sprint to 60 miles per hour in 4.1 seconds, the Lotus also nudges out the Porsche by a tenth of a second. So on paper, the two coupes are quite comparable. Of course, Xcar also digs deep into more subjective factors, like how it actually feels behind the wheel. If you think you prefer a little more wind in your hair, the company is developing an Evora 400 roadster, too. Rather than an actual droptop, the roof will reportedly consist of two, removable carbon-fiber panels. It'll arrive on these shores in the coming years as part of Lotus' re-emergence.

Lotus Cars, Williams Advanced Engineering announce technical partnership

Mon, Jan 28 2019

Sports car company Lotus announced a technology development partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, more commonly referred to simply as Williams. Lotus says the partnership will be specifically focused on propulsion systems. And this has us very excited. Lotus doesn't need much introduction; it makes ultralight and spectacular handling sports cars. Williams is a bit more obscure, but it works on some of the coolest vehicles in the world. For decades the company has participated in Formula 1, and still has a team competing. It developed a wild 500-horsepower flat-six engine for Singer, and it worked with Jaguar on the C-X75 concept car and made stunt versions for the James Bond movie "Spectre." The company even has electric car experience with four seasons of Formula E and development work on the Aston Martin Rapide E on its prodigious resume. The subtext of these various Williams projects is that we could see almost any kind of powertrain show up in Lotus sports cars in the future. The companies could have some high-revving, high-output internal combustion engines for the near-term, then they could create electric drivetrains for future Lotus cars. Think first-generation Tesla Roadster but developed by a company with racing experience. Perhaps the two could even create some hybrids in between launches of the two powertrain types. Of course we're speculating, but none of this out of the question considering Williams' capabilities. In fact, since the Formula E experience is specifically highlighted in the Lotus announcement, we bet electric Lotus cars are all but guaranteed. We will be watching for developments with great anticipation. Related Video:
