This is probably the cleanest Esprit out there. Owned before me by two best friends in Cota de Casa California. This car just had new tires due to age not wear, k&N filter,oil and Filter done at 8718 miles. Approx 7000.00 in recent service was done by Newport Beach Lotus, Valve adjustment,trans seals, plenum and valve cover seals, hoses under plenum and all radiator and one heater hose were replaced, tire sensors also, these were all done due to age and recommendation from the lotus shop. The car also has hyflo cats, optima battery, car cover, factory service manuals,2 keys, sunroof and cover and correct rubber seal,wind deflector, copy of MSRP, Carbon front splitter. Leather seats were redone in new leather and bolsters were improved for more comfort. This car is still being driven slightly by me so miles will go up a little. car is being sold due to health issues, but it is not a fire sale. This again is a super car owned by a anal owner. Please!!! only bid if you can buy and have the money, clean auto check and carfax and question do not hesitate to call 714 269 1810. I have sold three cars on E bay and 100% feedback in fact the last one the buyer said it was better than described. Thank You Julian.


Final Run Esprit 
2003
1/2  and 2004 MY
The last production of 33 Federal Esprit's was known as the "Esprit Final Run Edition". In all states except California, this car was be labeled as a 2004 MY. In California, the car was sold as a 2003 1/2 MY car. This was done to avoid some of the more stringent environmental regulations which went into effect for that state for 2004 and newer cars. These regulations would have involved further development of the ECM software code at a  great expense to Lotus. Since this was the last year of production, it was decided it would be more sensible to simply refer to those cars as 2003 1/2  cars instead.

The 2004MY Esprit Final Run Edition had a few modifications to distinguish it from previous models.

  • Bilstein Dampers with stiffened settings and adjustable spring platforms
  • Uprated Eibach Springs
  • Smart Tire system monitors temperature and pressure of each tire individually
  • New unpainted Stainless steel mesh grills
  • Esprit decal in rear quarter windows has an etched finish
  • Stainless steel plaque with the engine builders name on the plenum
  • All mesh grilles on the front valence and engine compartment are stainless steel in silver finish rather than black.
  • The tow how is silver in most models (although I did see some with back tow hooks)
  • Stainless steel perforated rear valance ("cheesgrater") with new rounded slots and a satin finish
  • The quilted stitching on the seat backs and perforated leather on the seat bottoms and door panels
  • Passenger side airbag cover is embossed with the Lotus roundel
  • Elise style climate control knobs with a brushed aluminum finish
  • New style shorter gear knob is finished in brushed aluminum and topped with a Lotus Badge

Lotus Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jul 2012

The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.

Lotus Type 130 electric supercar officially named Evija

Fri, Jul 5 2019

Only known as the Type 130 to this point, the new Lotus supercar finally has its official name: Evija. Lotus made the announcement at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and some fans have the lucky opportunity to get a sneak preview of the all-electric performance vehicle during the event. The Evija, which is pronounced "ev-eye-a," will be the first car Lotus has produced under the ownership of Chinese umbrella company Geely. Evija means "the first in existence" or "the living one," according to Lotus, thought the company did not go into the origins of the word. With cars such as the Rimac C_Two already in existence, the Evija is not the first electric supercar, but Lotus says it is the "first all-electric hypercar" from a British automaker. It's also the first electric Lotus. The Evija is slated for its world debut in London on July 16, 2019, and production is expected to start in 2020. However, Lotus set up a light show experience at Goodwood that involves that car. So, fans won't see the full vehicle, but the experience will tease small yet-to-be-seen details.  Very little information is known about the car yet, save for a nebulous aero image and a couple short video teasers. It will have a push-button gear selector, a light-up rear Lotus badge, an electric charging dock cover, and it appears it will have a tablet style dash setup. And, of course, carbon fiber will be the material of choice inside and out. We'll have full specs, photos, and information shortly. Auto News Green Green Lotus Lotus Evija
