Caterham Super 7 Sprint “Classic SE” – Immaculate condition.  This is a fully street legal (licensed and titled in Utah), all-weather Caterham with all street gear – full top, side doors with windows, windshield wipers, aircraft-type electric defrosting windshield and cabin heater.  It also includes a bolt-on rear spare tire carrier and spare (wheel identical to the others.)  It is the “Caterham Classic SE” model with 1600 Ford (Kent engine) with DCOE40 Webers and 4-speed transmission and weighs approximately 1100 pounds.  The differential is an Ital unit with 1/4 ” plate reinforcement on the housing SE as used on the Caterham Challenge Series race cars. Fully adjustable gas Spax shocks.   It includes custom-fabricated aluminum doors and side screens (not to be confused with the factory soft doors and full windows, also included).  These aluminum doors attach to the factory hinges and make the car a lot more civil for highway use as they reduce the tremendous buffeting a normal doorless 7 produces.  As with the factory doors they are readily removable.   The Cibie headlights and turn signals  have been relocated for better aerodynamics and an updated appearance.  The headlight relocation is a custom bolt-on application and was done without destroying any of the factory parts so the headlights can be relocated to the original position quite easily if you prefer the classic Lotus 7 look.  The car has been driven about 12,000 miles since new (mostly highway use), has never been damaged and everything works perfectly.  It has always been stored in a dry garage, under a car cover.  It is ready and can be driven across the country If the buyer wants to fly in and drive it home.  However, other arrangements would have to be made for the extra set of tires and Superlite wheels (identical to those shown in the photos except they are Michelin street tires.   The tires shown on the car are Toyo R888.  The interior includes the adjustable leather Caterham bucket seat option (includes headrests) with full carpeting throughout. Extremely comfortable. Graphics (number spots and other stickers (which were applied for car shows only) are all removable vinyl.  This Caterham is a fantastically fun street driver and the perfect car for track days.  The Caterham factory  Manual and Assembly Guide is also included along with all receipts.  The car is being offered at $25,000.  New Caterham kits are priced from $45,000 to $90,000   Buyer will provide own transportation of vehicle which will be released upon receipt of full purchase price in cash.  Please call for more details.  Ron Christensen – 801-706-1054 (cell – voice only please) or 801-467-6370 (home)

Lotus C-01 motorcycle shows its carbon-fiber face

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Well, this isn't exactly what we were expecting. The images you see above come from Motorcycle News in the UK and are apparently official renderings of what the upcoming Lotus C-01 motorcycle will look like. As you can see, it's sort of a power cruiser, with a raked-out front end and extremely wide rubber out back.
Power will reportedly come from a liquid-cooled V-twin engine sourced from KTM, similar to the one used in the Austrian's brand's own RC8R, but tuned to produce around 200 horsepower. It appears that the powertrain and all its related necessities will be housed in a carbon fiber monocoque (whether the bodywork serves as a stressed member or not, we can't say) in a traditional-looking black (really, exposed carbon fiber weave) and yellow color scheme.
From the looks of these renderings, the C-01 might be intended as a competitor for the Ducati Diavel and ought to be very quick in a straight line. We're not so sure that's what a motorcycle wearing the Lotus badge should be, even if its builders are only using the marque's name under license, but we're looking forward to seeing the final result in production trim.

2022 Lotus Emira revealed with two engine options, Evija-inspired looks

Tue, Jul 6 2021

The final internal-combustion-powered Lotus has been revealed: the 2022 Lotus Emira. The styling looks like a blend of the outgoing Evora and the all-new Evija electric car. It also features two choices of engine, one of which comes from AMG. The Emira's nose has the closest resemblance to the electric car, particularly in the headlights and the vent openings on either side of the hood. But the whole car has a softer, more rounded shape like the EV rather than the old Evora. It has very large intakes on each side, and a slim, wrap-around taillight at the back. The body fits over a typical Lotus bonded-aluminum chassis, and the company says the lightest version of the car will weigh around 3,100 pounds. Two kinds of suspension are available, the standard Tour setup and an optional and stiffer Sports version. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of hydraulic power steering, rather than electric. Powering that chassis is your choice of engines. It will launch initially with the same supercharged 3.5-liter V6 from the Evora. Next summer, it will be offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder from AMG. Lotus says three transmissions will be available: manual, automatic and dual-clutch transmissions. It didn't say which pairings of engine and transmission would be available, but we expect the V6 to get the manual and automatic options, while the four-cylinder gets the dual-clutch transmission (just as it does when in Mercedes A-Class-related cars). The company also says power will range from 360 to 400 horsepower. This will get the car from 0 to 62 mph in under 4.5 seconds. The interior is fairly minimalist, but definitely more advanced than recent Lotus offerings. Most surfaces are covered in fabric, leather or Alcantara. It has two screens for instruments and infotainment. The former has a 12.3-inch screen, and the latter has a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's only seating for two, and cargo space is split between a 5.3-cubic-foot trunk and a 7.3-cubic-foot area behind the seats. The Emira was revealed this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Pricing for the U.S. has not been announced, but it will cost under 72,000 Euros in Europe. That comes to around $85,000 in the United States. We should know more about specifications and pricing closer to when it goes on sale sometime this year.

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car

Fri, Jul 5 2024

This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors:  Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.
