Lotus: Exige on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I am selling my NA 2006 Lotus Exige in Solar Yellow. I have owned it since October 2014. I purchased it with 14k miles from Autoquest in Ft. Myers, FL. It has been my daily driver since then and now sits at 44,000 miles. My commute is 75 miles per day, 70 miles of that being highway. It has been very reliable and has made the commute a blast for almost two years. I am sad to sell it, but I have the itch to get into another toy. I have not tracked the car, but did one autocross day. Its a blast to drive! The oil recall was compeleted. This Exige was optioned with the touring pack, track pack, LSD, starshield, and floormats with aluminum buttons. The following tasteful mods have been compelted: -Toda flywheel and ACT Clutch - Forcefed Header - 2bular Exhaust - 2bular Diffuser - Nitron Singles Coilovers - gPan 3 baffled oil pan - TRACK mounts motor mounts - RTD brace - Stiffy 2 Chassis Brace - Boomerand Tow Hook - Aluminum Jacking Pins - Fire Extinguisher - Stainless Steel Brake Lines -Genuine Lotus Sport Carbon Fiber Wing -Carbon Fiber front splitter -Carbon Fiber side vents -Toyo R888 tires July 2015 -DBA 4000 rotors/new pads July 2015 It has a clean title (in hand) and clean Carfax. I am the second owner. The first owner was a pediatrician in Oregon I believe. The blower motor for the AC/Heater does not work some days. One of the LEDs in the left tailight is out. The headliner started falling, so I removed it. The check engine light is on with a P0420 code due to the headers. The car does have a catalytic converter. The exhaust is just the right volume with nice pops on the deaccel. The original wing, side vents, and splitter will be included. Also included are service records, manual, toolkit, 1 key, 2 fobs.

Lotus confirms new Elise S Cup
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Head on over to the Lotus website, and though the Elise isn't offered in the United States anymore, buyers in other markets can choose between numerous models: there's the base Elise, the Elise Club Racer, the Elise S and the Elise S Club Racer, and that's before even getting into the even more extreme Exige that's also based on the Elise. Track-day enthusiasts can also go for the full-on Elise S Cup R, but now the British sportscar manufacturer has confirmed a new variant.
Called the Elise S Cup, it slots in between the CR and the Cup R as an extreme performance model that can actually be driven to the track and back home on public roads. The S designation tells us it packs the 1.8-liter supercharged four that already produces 217 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque in the existing Elise S, Elise S CR and Elise S Cup R, but as we saw when Lotus was testing the new variant around the Nürburgring, the Elise S Cup packs some key upgrades.
It's got an aero kit - including front splitter, winglets, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing - that's more aggressive than other road-going models (though apparently less extreme than the track-focused S Cup R), helping to generate 145 lbs of downforce at 100 mph and 275 lbs at top speed and besting the Elise S around the Lotus test track by an impressive three seconds.
Lotus F1 apologizes for tweeting support for LGBT Olympians
Mon, 10 Feb 2014The Lotus Formula One Team is apologizing after its official Twitter account posted this image of two men kissing in connection to the opening of the Winter Olympics on Friday, February 7. It claims that the original tweet was "unauthorized."
The tweet, which Lotus deleted later that day, can be viewed to the right and was promptly replaced an apology that said, "We would like to sincerely apologise for an unauthorized message posted on our Twitter account today & will ensure this cannot happen again." Responses to the kerfuffle on its Twitter page have mostly focused on confusion as to what the original tweet was and why it was removed.
While the Sochi Olympics have been controversial among LBGT groups because of Russia's laws banning so-called "gay propaganda," the country has a growing importance in F1. In fact, the first Russian Grand Prix is scheduled to run later this season on a circuit around the Sochi Olympic Park. Genii Capital, the team's owner, has business interests in Russia, and according to the BBC, the Lotus F1 team is working on a deal to with Russian mobile phone company Yotaphone to sell it 10 percent of the team.
Lotus suing former CEO Bahar over spending on homes, helicopters and watches
Mon, 03 Dec 2012More details have come out about the legal suit and countersuit being contested between Lotus cars owner DRB-Hicom and former CEO of Lotus Dany Bahar. Bahar was brought in by Malaysian car company Proton in 2009 to turn Lotus around, and events during his tenure have made just about everyone wonder "What's going on?" That's not unusual - it can take a minute to figure things out when a new leader takes everything in a new direction - but in this case the clouds didn't clear quickly enough.
When the Malaysian government sold Proton to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom earlier this year, a forensic accounting team from Ernst & Young and The Rothschild Group started going over the books. Not long after, Bahar was suspended in June from his position and then fired. In his countersuit against DRB-Hicom, claims of lavish spending began to surface. Then the stories and leaks and rumors really began, the UK's Financial Mail reporting on more than one million pounds spent on private flights and home renovations, the New Zealand Herald talking about other executives sacked so that DRB could rearrange a 270-million-pound bank loan to Lotus, and rumors on forums about Bahar flying from his home in Norfolk to Hethel HQ and spending 30,000 pounds on motorsports books for his office.
In the latest Bloomberg report it is said that DRB-Hicom seeks 2.5 million pounds ($4 million US) from Bahar "for unauthorized expenses and overpaid salary and bonuses," including the purported expense of 3,000 pounds on watches for company managers. DRB-Hicom also says Bahar made damaging statements to the media, on top of breaching his contractual duties. Bahar's countersuit seeks $10.6 million from DRB-Hicom.
