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.

Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls

Sun, 14 Oct 2012

A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.

A restored Lotus Esprit adds lightness on Petrolicious

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Spencer Canon believes the Lotus Esprit is a misunderstood sports car. The wedge-shaped exotics' reputation suggests they are incredibly temperamental, which means lots of expensive repairs. Canon sought to make sure his Lotus didn't suffer from such maladies, which was achieved thanks to a rebuild from a bare shell. The result of his hard work exudes 1980s style with some modern flair and even inspires Canon's career creating bicycles. The Lotus was a wreck when Canon bought it, and he spent months just stripping off the old paint. The car's condition prevented a complete restoration to original spec, so Canon decided to improve the coupe. He modified it in simple ways, such as replacing the power windows with simple pull straps. He also took inspiration from the color scheme on his company's bikes and painted the Lotus blue with a lighter stripe diagonally along the side. The completed sports car angers some purists for not being entirely authentic, but it's hard to argue with the results. Plus, Canon's happy, and nothing else really matters. Canon's Lotus has a rousing exhaust burble once he gets out of the city and out onto the open road. Take a ride with him in the latest video from Petrolicious to hear it yourself and to get a better understanding about the Esprit. Related Video:

Lotus cars to be 'Made in China' at new Geely plant, according to documents

Thu, Jan 17 2019

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — The Chinese owner of Lotus plans to start producing the British sports car brand in China for the first time with the opening of a new 9 billion yuan ($1.3 billion) factory in Wuhan city, company job advertisements and government documents showed. The previously unreported plans are Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's first move to shake up the British brand since its purchase of a majority stake in 2017. The move is in line with Geely's ambitions to build more up-market cars and throw off its reputation for copycat designs and shoddy quality. For Lotus, it could mean greater production volumes and new models such as SUVs to boost sales. "For Geely, going high-end can help it take more market share," said Alan Kang, Shanghai based analyst at LMC Automotive. "Geely needs to do that to better compete with global brands." Lotus cars are currently built in Norfolk, England. Geely and Lotus said in a joint statement that while Norfolk was Lotus's manufacturing home, a key part of the firm's strategy to revive the brand was expanding the brand's manufacturing footprint globally. "Details on additional locations and models will be confirmed in due course," the company said in an e-mail to Reuters. The planning authority of Hubei province, whose capital is Wuhan, last month approved Geely's plans for the plant. The factory will be able to manufacture 150,000 cars annually, according to a document posted on the authority's website. The Wuhan Development Zone, where the factory will be based, said in a statement posted on its website last month that production at the plant would include "Geely's Lotus project". The Wuhan Development Zone did not respond to Reuters' request for comment. The documents did not say when the plant would start operations. The facility is approved to build all-electric battery cars, electric hybrids as well as combustion engine cars like Lotuses. Job advertisements on Geely's website show the automaker is looking to fill at least 20 Wuhan-based roles for the Lotus project. LUXURY AMBITIONS While is not clear what portion of the new Chinese production line would be devoted to the British brand, greater production volumes would be consistent with Geely's stated ambition to grow the market for Lotus by broadening its line-up. Geely sold only 1,630 Lotuses globally in 2018. Lotus currently produces models such as the Evora and Elise.
