Lotus Elise Show Car - Touring Pack, Hard/soft Top, Star Shield & Best Upgrades on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
As you probably already know, this is by far the best performing car on the road... seemingly without limits. I've taken meticulous care of this show condition car. No expense was ever spared. It will always be the best looking and best sounding car anywhere around you and is a total blast to drive. It's been upgraded with a Larini Clubsport exhaust for added horsepower and a great sound. My theory is, when I drive this car I want to be completely immersed in the experience... and the Larini definitely helps to complete that. Some of the other driving experience additions include the micro rear view mirror, ice cold AC, new oil cooler, oversized battery, weighted shift ball (5lbs if I remember correctly and completely changes the feel when shifting). Windows professionally tinted.
I also professionally added the Gut Sportwing 2. The wing is very expensive and I only know of one other Elise that has added it the "right way". I had all the work done by a Lotus authorized facility who sanded the Gut logo off and then color-matched the spoiler from the doors back for a perfectly seamless fit. I spent well over 5k achieving the look after it was all done. I have tons of extras with the car such as the soft-top, hard-top, hard-top nylon protective case, full car cover, complete shop-book and many many extra parts like new oil filters, cup holder and extras. This car is the funnest car to work on yourself for oil changes and such. It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. Lotus uses Toyota "proven" parts that we as owners can always get our hands on without special order. Smartest decision Lotus ever made. (Right now the ABS light is coming on which means it's time to drill the dust out of the brake disks... I'll try to find time to do that before the sale... it's easy). Also included is the color-matched toy car version of the lotus. I had that painted when I had the spoiler work done. Doors and trunk open to show the engine. It's perfect for your office desk. Check out the pictures below and good luck bidding on this awesome top quality edition of the best car ever made.

Lotus hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco
Sat, 31 May 2014Being 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.
Lotus stepping up to LMP1 in World Endurance Championship
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Only a couple of years ago, it looked like the top tier of prototype endurance racing was in trouble. Peugeot shut down its program, leaving the LMP1 category all to Audi to dominate. Only six cars entered the Petit Le Mans in 2012, and the season was cut short. But the top class in the FIA World Endurance Championship has since blossomed. And it only looks poised to grow further.
Audi and Toyota will each be back on the grid this season, joined by Porsche. But the latest news has Lotus stepping up to the big leagues also. (Well, sorta: the German-run squad uses the Lotus name and colors, but has no more to do with the automaker than the Formula One team of the same name.)
The Lotus LMP1 will be based on the same Lola-based T129 chassis used until now in the LMP2 class, with former F1 driver Christijan Albers leading the driver lineup. In addition to Audi, Toyota and Porsche, the solitary Lotus entry will also compete against privateer Rebellion Racing in a nine-car LMP1 grid throughout the season.
Lotus wants to find its first car, built by Colin Chapman
Mon, Sep 24 2018Lotus is looking for the first car its founder ever built. The Lotus Mark I, a trials special Colin Chapman built in a small garage in London in 1948, has been lost to history and the company has been trying to find it for ages. As Lotus is 70 this year, the first Lotus would be quite the icing on its birthday cake. Colin Chapman constructed the first Lotus in a garage that belonged to his girlfriend's parents, at the age of 20. The car was reportedly an instant competition success, but Chapman's competitive spirit meant he soon started on the car's successor, the Mark II, and sold the Mark I in November 1950 for GBP135 after advertising it in Motor Sport magazine. Both the Mark I and II were based on Austin 7 hardware, but the latter used different Ford engines while the Mark I retained an Austin 7 engine. Experiments with lightening the vehicle and developing a better suspension design were Lotus hallmarks from the very beginning, as the car needed to beat Britain's rough rally terrain and have enough grunt to climb hills. Lotus Engineering was set up in 1952, later spawning Team Lotus that started out in Formula 1 by the end of the 1950s — and the rest is history. But Lotus owes everything to the humble Mark I. "The Mark I is the holy grail of Lotus' history," Clive Chapman, Colin's son explains. "It's the first time that my father was able to put his theories for improved performance into practice when designing and building a car. To locate this landmark Lotus, as we celebrate the 70 th anniversary, would be a monumental achievement. "We want fans to take this opportunity to look in every garage, shed, barn and lock up they're allowed to," added Chapman. "It's even possible that the Mark I was shipped from the UK, and we'd love to know if it survives in another country." This means the first Lotus could even reside in the United States, if it is still in one piece.
