You are bidding on a rare, meticulously maintained, and fantastically running 2006 Lotus Exige.
As many know, 2006 was the first year the Exige made its way to the United States. There were 338 imported. (Not sure how many still are registered.) In this year, they were normally aspirated. The 1 owner (previous to me), who purchased the car in Irvine, CA in 2006 maintained the engine type. I purchased the vehicle in November 2013, about 400 miles ago. I added a Lotus OEM Supercharger in partnership with Lotus Specialist Intermecanica. (Consult Lotus Forums for owner Waldir Zangiacomi's knowledge, expertise, and reputation. He has been working on Lotus vehicles since 1967.) The vehicle carries a clean CarFax and AutoCheck. As well as a clear New York State Title. (It's been in my garage, or at Intermecanica's garage since purchase.) Along with the Lotus OEM Supercharger, the engine received lots of love and attention in the form of new OEM and Lotus specific parts - either purchased through British Racing Group or Sector 111. Injectors, two fuel pumps, Intercooler, GPAN. One of the two ECU's has been tuned to run E85. When tuned, it generated approximately 330 WHP. I will provide a second ECU for the vehicle to run regular unleaded gas. The engine and all parts allow for both fuels. All is brand new. Additional New Parts include, listed with their purchase date:

There is much more that was purchased for the car to not only bring it up to 2014 levels, but also rival if not surpass latest model Exiges. Will share all purchase and labor receipts. In all, over $25,000 in parts and labor was put into this vehicle. (As with a many aspects of a house renovation, recouping the costs is not necessarily on the list. But please know that every part has been purchased and installed with thought and precision by one of the best Lotus mechanics/engineers in the northeast.) As mentioned, since owning the car it has been driven about 400+ miles. Ideally, the potential buyer is local enough to see the vehicle. It is will surprise, as it did me when I saw it in person and on the lift before buying it. From what was shared with me, the 1 owner in California never tracked the normally aspirated car. He drove it, and used it in fact as his daily driver, doing freeway driving. Since owning it, the car has seen two (15 minutes each) of safety car control sessions on a closed course. (Limerock). While I am not the active 'track guy,' the next owner would be ready to drive spiritedly on the road, and depending on skill level, be at the front of the line on a track day. One other items of interest: The vehicle was fitted with a hinge to lift the rear clam for easy access/maintenance. The construct and design is similar to the BOE Clam Hinge. (See picture.) This will save hours accessing tough to reach areas of the engine. Those who own an S260 may disagree, but this car, as it has been carefully kept 100% Lotus but given a significant jolt, performs at or above the S240 of S260 - with the handling of an Exige and 330 Wheel Horsepower. Dyno run in May 2014. |

Lotus F1 Team Breaks World Record For Longest Truck Jump
Mon, Nov 24 2014Lotus F1 wasn't content to make just any commercial for their technology partner EMC Industries. It had to be one for the record books. The video released over the weekend shows a truck breaking the world record for longest jump ever completed by a truck. The stunt was obviously geared towards publicity, but while they were at it, they set a Guinness World Record for the longest truck jump at 83 feet, 7 inches. The previous record, according to Guinness, stood at 50 feet, 6 inches, and was set on MTV's Nitro Circus on November 17, 2008, by Gregg Godfrey at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City. That record stood for six years, but (as best we can tell) was set without the trailer attached, or the F1 car tracking underneath - which only makes this latest stunt that much more impressive. Stunt driver Mike Ryan planned the jump and drove the truck off the ramp and over fellow stunt driver Martin Ivanov as he sped underneath in a Lotus F1 race car. And just so you know no CGI was involved, EMC industries included a making of video on their website.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last 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.
