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.

Race Recap: 2014 Spanish Grand Prix is boom and bust [spoilers]

Mon, 12 May 2014

The Spanish Grand Prix's 2.892-mile Circuit de Catalunya is considered a preview for the rest of the season, since it's a combination of long front straight and twisting middle sectors mimic sections from every other Formula One track to follow. After the long break following the flyaway races to open the season, teams and fans have also been looking forward to this race to see if anyone had a realistic hope of catching Mercedes AMG Petronas; Infiniti Red Bull Racing honcho Christian Horner boiled his team's outlook for the season down to the line, "We've got to [beat them in Spain] if we're going to make a championship of it."
If we take that as our starting point then the weekend began as a bust. Lewis Hamilton only just beat Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg for pole, the Brit's final effort getting him 0.178 seconds clear of the German. Daniel Ricciardo, proving Red Bull is at least the best of the rest, took third but did so more than a second behind Hamilton. Valtteri Bottas of Williams lined up fourth, almost 1.5 second behind and Romain Grosjean delivered overdue good news for Lotus by taking fifth on the grid, more than 1.7 seconds behind pole. Kimi Räikkönen in sixth outqualified his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso in seventh, but he couldn't be happy about it because the Ferraris were nearly two seconds behind, and Jenson Button in eighth in the McLaren was more than two second behind. Felipe Massa put the second Williams in ninth, and Sebastian Vettel overcame a terrible start to the weekend to make it into Q3, then didn't set a time when his gearbox failed, then got dropped five places to 15th on the grid when the gearbox had to be changed.
When the lights went out, then came the boom...

Lotus bankruptcy case dismissed in UK

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Times have not been easy for Lotus lately, so when its name came up on a list of companies scheduled for a liquidation court, it seemed like the end could be near for the fabled British builder of lightweight sports cars. As it turns out, Lotus was on the Companies Court Winding Up list in the UK due to a contractual dispute with a supplier, and the High Court has since dismissed the case.
According to Autocar, Lotus and the supplier actually resolved their issue earlier in the year, but the process couldn't be stopped until seen by a judge. The report says that the case was initiated when Group Lotus failed to pay some of its debts, which is probably a fair indication that Lotus is far from out of the weeds in regards to its financial difficulties.

The Stig bungees a Lotus F1 car in Durban

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Remember a couple of months ago when a mischievous Stig broke into the Lotus racing headquarters in Enstone and made off with an F1 car? Well, now we know where he went with it.
In this humorous clip from Top Gear, the tamed racing driver in the white suit disembarks with Pastor Maldonado's Lotus-Renault E22 (not the E21 he took from the team's headquarters, eagle-eye viewers might notice) in Durban, South Africa, and takes it to Moses Mabhida Stadium for the Top Gear Festival. After having some fun on a dirt bike, a chrome Mustang drift car and a few other curiosities, he hooks it up to a bungee cord and jumps off a tower behind the wheel.
Now we're not quite convinced they actually did this and that it wasn't all CGI, but it's still worth a watch and a laugh.
