This listing is for my wife's mint-condition 2008 Lotus Exige S 240. We purchased it on a whim in June of 2011 from a local boutique auto dealer with the intent of her having a fun car for the summer around our little beach town and possibly a few laps of NJMP on days when one of the track organizations split time between cars and motorcycles (my passion at the time). She ultimately did one HPDE and lasted 3 sessions before admitting it wasn't for her. Unfortunately, by that time I'd already ordered a considerable amount of track parts for it from Sector 111, most of which are gathering dust in the original boxes on a shelve in our garage.

Obviously, based on the mileage, she didn't really drive it. For the past year, it's been stored in our climate-controlled warehouse only being driven a handful of times for quick lunch dates.

You'll notice in the pictures that the roof is removed in some photos. After doing some research on Lotus Talk that it was in fact safe to do for driving around town, we sourced all new Elise soft top parts and installed them using the templates provided on the forum. The soft top fits neatly in an OEM storage bag in the trunk. For colder weather or track events, the hard top installs in minutes.

The car has the factory track package installed - adjustable coilovers, adjustable swaybars and AP Racing big brakes installed. The tires are new with roughly 500 miles on them, mostly shuttling our daughter to school in warm weather or running out for lunch.

The following parts are included (and already installed, where noted):

Sector 111 - GTS Package (gPan, Transcooler, subStiffy) - $1800 - not installed
Sector 111 microMIRROR - $119 - installed
Sector 111 HEXstuds - $99 - installed
Sector 111 Boomerang Front Tow Hook - $150 - installed
Sector 111 Track Packs (Standard, Black Harnesses) - $965 - not installed
Sector 111 sys.6.pack - $139.99 - not installed
Braille B2015 Lightweight Batterty - $165 - installed
Sector 111 Xtender (battery disconnect/bracket) - $84.99 - installed
Sector 111 Exige Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler - $450 - installed
difFlow 5 Element Railer Jr. Diffuser - $650 - installed
Blackhawk Racing Black Lotus Badges - $199 - installed
British Racing Group Wide-Angle Door Mirrors - $125 - installed
British Racing Group Lotus Exige Soft Top Conversion Kit - $1325 - installed
Lotus Cup Racing Airbox Kit - installed

There's also a handful of other not installed parts - a short throw shifter kit, some filler plates for underneath - all random bits that I found online and ordered.

The car is very clean and in great shape. It's a ton of fun to drive, and the color is pretty unique. We're selling because she rarely drives it, and would rather have a pool. Clear title is in hand (pictured) showing the 900 miles she's put on it in the past 2 years. We have both keys and the owner's manuals.

Lotus signs Pastor Maldonado to replace Raikkonen

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

The team currently known as Lotus has had a long string of accomplished drivers behind the wheel, including world champions like Nelson Piquet, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. But Kimi is returning to Ferrari next season, leaving a big question mark over who would fill his seat. And now we have our answer.
Lotus has just announced that it has signed Pastor Maldonado to partner with Romain Grosjean for next season. The surprise winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix has been driving for Williams for the past three seasons, signed after he won the GP2 title in 2010. Though lauded as an emerging talent, Maldonado is clearly not the accomplished champion Raikkonen is, however Lotus apparently needs the money which Maldonado brings with him in the form of sponsorship from the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA.
Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean, also a former GP2 champion, has been with the team for some time now, starting as its test driver in 2008, promoted for one season to the race seat in 2009, and returning again in 2012. He's been the second driver at Lotus ever since, achieving career-best second-place finishes at the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix and 2013 United States Grand Prix. Whether it will be Grosjean (who gets the higher number) or Maldonado that emerges as the dominant force at Lotus remains to be seen. Scroll down for the complete press release.

Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last year about 80 examples of the 2011 Lotus Evora S were recalled over an issue with the oil feed pipe. The same number of 2011 Evora S', but with different manufacture dates, are back in the recall box again for a very similar issue; this time it's the engine oil cooler hose that could rupture and spray oil either onto the rear wheels or a hot engine part. Neither of those cases is good, and the latter could potentially lead to a fire.
Lotus is working on a solution, so a recall date hasn't been announced. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Lotus Exige V6 Cup takes extreme to the extreme

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

What separates a road car from a race car? You're looking at it. It's the Lotus Exige V6 Cup, a model based on what is already one of the most hardcore performance machines on the road, albeit upgraded to an even harder-core spec. It's a good 130 pounds lighter than the Exige S (a vehicle which didn't have much flab to trim in the first place) and can hit 60 in under four seconds. With the notably exception of certain versions of the Porsche 911, there aren't a lot of six-cylinder cars that can claim that kind of performance.
In fact, the Exige V6 Cup is so close to race spec that it's already eligible for a number of racing series. Just bolt in the removable FIA-certified roll cage, maybe swap on some slick tires and you're good to go. Then you can drive it home again when you're done, just like in sports car racing's heyday. But don't take our word for it: the team over at XCar took the V6 Cup to the UK's Goodwood circuit to see how it compared to the Exige S it recently drove, and you can view the stirring results in the video below.
