With a new baby on the way, it looks like it's time to part with my 2010 Laser Blue Evora. It's the 2+2 configuration with Premium, Sport and Tech packages. It also has the close ratio gearbox, rear-view camera, approximately 9700 miles at the time of this listing, and is still under factory warranty until June 2013. It also has a Radium cold air intake and Supersprint exhausts that were installed by the previous owner at Lotus of Greenville in South Carolina.

HISTORY:

The car was originally purchased new from Lotus of Durham in North Carolina, and was later sold to a gentleman in Greenville South Carolina where the Radium CAI, Supersprint exhausts and battery tender wire were installed. The installs were carried out by Lotus of Greenville. I am the third owner, and I am located in Orlando Florida. The car has a clean title and Car Fax, and is in excellent condition as you will see in the pictures. 

After purchasing the car back in October, I ordered a Certificate of Provenance from Lotus in England, and this car is 9-out-of-10 Laser Blue Evoras produced, and just 3-out-of-4 cars with the same option in the US in 2010. Only 241 cars in total were made in 2010 for North America, and I believe the Laser Blue is one of the rarest, if not the rarest color on these cars. Refer to the certificate in the pictures for more information.

CONDITION:

The car is practically like new. I detailed the car this weekend, and there is only one imperfection on the paint, and it is a small rock chip on the roof (refer to the picture). Most of the car is covered in Star Shield, so there is not much opportunity for chips/scratches. The interior is near perfect as well. The only maintenance item is that it will be due for a new set of rear tires within the next 2k miles - which I may throw-in to help with the sale. I have an appointment for a warranty go-over on Monday 3/18 at Lotus of Orlando. So the person with the winning offer can have an inspection at that time if desired. Or you can simply talk talk to the service personnel to vouch for the car. 

OBSERVATIONS:

One thing I will note having driven a few Evora's before purchasing this one. The combination of the Radium CAI and Supersprint exhaust just makes this car different in all the right ways (just my opinion). Throttle response feels better, and the additional power and exhaust note on acceleration make it feel like a true exotic. All this without sacrificing driveability and reliability. In combination with the close ratio gear box, I think all base Evora's should have come from the factory like this. Refer to the following video to get an idea of the sound with the intake and exhausts installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAGA1c_32M8 . Of course, you could restore the the factory intake and exhausts since I am including them with the sale.

Lotus drops Renault for Mercedes F1 engines

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

With only three manufacturers supplying engines in Formula One this season, the teams have been fairly evenly split: Ferrari, Sauber and Marussia use Ferrari engines; Mercedes, McLaren, Williams and Force India run on Mercedes power; Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Lotus and Caterham employ Renault power units. But one important team is reportedly preparing to ditch Renault and switch to Mercedes for next year.
That team is Lotus, an outfit which has fallen off its pace the past few seasons but which has still been a vital partner for Renault. That's because until a few seasons ago, the team based in Enstone, UK, was owned by Renault and bore the company's name. The operation was founded in 1981 as Toleman, was rechristened Benetton in 1986, bought by Renault 2000, taking the company's name in 2002, sold to its current owners Genii Capital 2009 and adopting the black and gold Lotus livery in 2011. As Benetton, it ran Ford engines until switching to Renault in 1995, sticking with the French outfit ever since, but that decades-long partnership - which meandered through Renault ownership and back out again - is now apparently drawing to a close.
The departure of Lotus as a customer team ought to allow Renault to focus instead on its increasing ties with Red Bull, which has taken the Enstone team's place as Renault's principal team. It could prove a smart move for the Lotus team as well, as the Mercedes engines have been outperforming the Renault units this season by an order of magnitude: not only is Mercedes far outpacing Red Bull at the top of the standings, but each of Mercedes' customer teams is performing better than Renault's clients.

2020 Lotus Evora GT First Drive | Exquisitely analog

Mon, Aug 12 2019

OJAI, Calif. — WeÂ’ve glimpsed LotusÂ’s EV-powered, 2,000-horsepower, $2 million future, and itÂ’s a glorious vision, for sure. But the boutique brand has also updated its more attainable gas-powered offerings back here on Earth, in the form of the 2020 Lotus Evora GT. Our first drive offered a revealing (and thrilling) taste of what might be among HethelÂ’s last traditionally-powered sports cars. For those unfamiliar with the Evora, the diminutive 2+2 was launched in 2009 as a grand touring-capable alternative to the laser-focused, ultra-featherweight Elise. Power hails from a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 with Lotus-modified induction and exhaust hardware, with everything from the throttle calibration to the spark plugs tweaked, and oil sump baffles added to reduce sloshing during high g-force maneuvers. While supercharger oomph was added to the Evora 400Â’s powerplant in 2015 (breaking the, you guessed it, 400 horsepower barrier), the latest GT spinoff incorporates mods from the non-U.S.-spec Evora 430, which brings total output to 416 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. As before, a six-speed manual comes standard (and accounts for approximately 70% of sales), while an automatic adds $2,700 to the $96,950 starting price. Thanks to an infusion of carbon fiber and composite bits, the Evora GT tips the scales at only 3,175 pounds – for context, thatÂ’s only 33 lbs more than a Porsche 911T – aided by a bonded aluminum tub that manages both light weight and excellent torsional rigidity. Opt for the carbon pack ($10,000), and youÂ’ll shave an additional 71 pounds from the equation. Further mass reduction is available via forged wheels ($3,250) and titanium exhaust ($8,000). Revised aerodynamics in the form of tucked-in wheel arch vents, a slight drop in ride height, and a larger rear spoiler conspire to double downforce, producing 160 lbs of force at the 188-mph top speed. If youÂ’ve ever endured the awkward ingress and egress of a Lotus Elise, the Evora feels refreshingly conventional: simply slide in, click in, and adjust your mirrors diligently because, at least if youÂ’ve ordered the carbon package, visibility through the rear windows is almost entirely obscured by thick louvers. Like that other British performance brand (looking at you, McLaren), Lotus stuck to its guns by retaining a hydraulic steering rack that conveys road surface nuances and feedback with refreshing accuracy.

Lotus Type 132 electric crossover spotted testing in China

Mon, Feb 14 2022

Thanks to Carscoops, we know that Weibo Chinese social media user Ductile Iron BX spotted a Lotus Type 132 prototype testing on Chinese roads. This is the vehicle that will inaugurate the English sports car maker's transition to a battery-electric future and its future as a purveyor of crossovers, the once dirty word among the light-and-simple crowd that's just too profitable to ignore. In profile, the long, low roof makes the Type 132 look more like a jacked-up Allroad-style wagon than a traditional crossover. The heavy camo can't hide the jutting tail that holds a deployable spoiler. Those regular-sized wheels look good, but they don't fill the arches that way we've come to expect from speedy SUVs; we won't be surprised if larger rims appear on the debut model, with an option for even larger rims. The treatment of the rear quarter glass, which looks like a vent, is a neat touch. We know black drapery hides other touches like an active lower grille, its hexagonal mesh peppered with panels that twirl open to provide the right combination of powertrain cooling and vehicle aerodynamics, and some kind of sensor unit rising from the roof. Nor can the camouflage hide the sharp lines throughout, from the concave front fascia to the arced rear fenders to the dramatic rear bumper. This could be a good looking start to Lotus' people-hauler era. The Type 132 is expected to debut this spring, riding on the firm's Evolution Architecture for premium vehicles and featuring 800-volt electrics and a battery with a possible 120-kilowatt capacity. Lotus has said the crossover will reach 60 miles per hour in under 3. seconds, an estimate that probably refers to the dual-motor version that might put out as much as 750 horsepower. Even though the Type 132's place in the luxury segment will see it lined up against entries like the Aston Martin DBX and Porsche Cayenne, this being the first super-sporty CUV from this OEM, it will undoubtedly spend the early part of its life thrown into battles with the Tesla Model X.
