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 hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco

Sat, 31 May 2014

Being a Formula One driver has its privileges. First off, you get to drive F1 cars for a living. You get treated like royalty and fly around the world. And if you're lucky, you might get a supercar thrown at you once in a while. It all depends on which team you drive for.
Fernando Alonso, for example, has had countless Ferraris, Maseratis, Abarths and Jeeps thrown his way. Lewis Hamilton was a little disappointed not to get the keys to that rare McLaren F1 LM when he won the championship. But Pastor Maldonado just got his hands on a new Lotus Evora S.
Pastor who now, you ask? Pastor Maldonado. The first Venezuelan driver in F1, Maldonado won the GP2 title in 2010 then made the jump to F1, driving for Williams for the past three seasons, impressively winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012. Now he's at Lotus filling Kimi Raikkonen's seat, and took delivery of his white Evora - complete with 3.5-liter supercharged V6 and six-speed sequential gearbox - in Monte Carlo last weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix.

Volvo-based, Chinese-built Lotus SUV allegedly due out in 2020

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Lotus will set foot in the lucrative SUV segment before the end of 2020, according to a recent report. It's preparing to unveil a high-riding model named Lambda that will be made in China with Swedish parts. Five-plus years in the making, the first Lotus-badged SUV will share its SPA platform with several members of the Volvo range, including the XC90, and with the plug-in hybrid Polestar 1. Citing unverified reports from China, Holland-based AutoWeek reported the Lambda will land in the same segment as the Porsche Cayenne Coupe and upmarket variants of the BMW X6. Patent images (pictured) suggest it will wear a fastback-like roof line. Using the flexible SPA platform will allow Lotus to offer a variety of powertrains, including gasoline-burning four-cylinder engines with forced induction and at least one plug-in hybrid option. SPA wasn't designed to accommodate six- or eight-cylinders, so leveraging electrification will likely be the easiest way for engineers to unlock more performance. An electric variant will reportedly join the range a little bit later in the 2020s. Production will begin in Wuhan, China, in late 2020, according to the same source. Whether the model will be sold in the United States is up in the air. It would make a significant amount of sense: Americans have an insatiable appetite for SUVs, and the company has often stressed it wants to increase its sales in our market. Lotus hasn't commented on the report, and it has remained quiet about its long-rumored SUV. We heard a lot about the model from Jean-Marc Gales, its former CEO; he notably said it will be to the Cayenne what the Evora is to the 911, and he pledged it would become the fastest and most agile model in its segment. He's gone, replaced by Phil Popham in 2018, so that strategy might have changed. If the rumor is accurate, we won't have to wait long to see how Lotus can apply its design language and its unique engineering philosophy to an SUV. Related Video:

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.
