It is with much sadness that I have decided to put my 2006 Exige up for sale.

Since getting the car I have made a number of changes and improvements to ensure reliability and performance:

The details:

2006 Solar Yellow Lotus Exige with Vision Function 2 SC and Charlie-X tune. The install was done at Vision Function approximately 8,000 miles ago. Don't have a dyno plot but having ridden in an S260, this car would trounce it. It is neck snapping fast.

Sports pack and Touring pack. Dual oil coolers (one replaced during oil line recall) ,Traction Control, Track pack shocks.

Current mileage is 18,445 miles.

Body work is in excellent condition with no damage or paintwork anywhere on the car. The front splitter has no curb damage.

Tires (AO48's) are less than 3,000 miles old and have a ton of tread left.

Clear and free Indiana title, clean car fax.

Less than 400 miles ago I had the oil line recall done, a brand new Pro-rad triple pass radiator fitted, coolant flush and replacement and followed it up with a full alignment. All work was completed by TJ at Gator Motorsports in Indy. These guys are the best at what they do. ($1600).

All fluids and filters were changed less than 200 miles ago- Mobil 1 engine Oil, Motul Brake Fluid, Redline MT-90 Transmission oil.

To capture the oil blowby I fitted Radium dual catch cans ($420). These have less than 100 miles on them.

To make the car breath right and sound right I stripped away the back end and fitted a BWR Quarter stick exhaust with heat wrap and fitted a Difflow Railer Jnr diffuser. The car sounds like it moves now. If you have never heard a QS exhaust on full throttle, it is awesome. ($1300). Fitted less than 200 miles ago so parts are brand new.

I wanted repeated start ability and I don't track (save that for my Triumph 675) I fitted an Optima Red battery.

Hids are fitted as well as all supplemental lighting being LED. I disabled the DRL as they are just annoying.

The head unit is a JVC Nav/Hdd/CD unit. Easily connects to your phone through Bluetooth for music streaming or hands free talking on the phone.

Center console with boost and oil temp gauages. Calipers freshly painted matt black with yellow raised lotus lettering.

Lotus offers Exige S Roadster for sale, but not in North America

Thu, 23 May 2013

The first thing you need to know is that this is the Lotus Exige S Roadster, unchanged from the Exige S even in price and officially the fastest convertible Lotus has ever made. The second thing you need to know is that if you live in the US, you won't be getting this car.
Now that that's out of the way, the lack of a roof, rear wing and front splitter help make it 22 pounds lighter than the coupe, coming in a 2,565 pounds, and the supercharged 3.5-liter V6 in this topless blossom discharges 345 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. For historical comparison with a non-convertible, those numbers nearly match the 2004 Lotus Esprit V8 Final Run edition - which had twin Garrett turbochargers. Yet the Exige S gets from a stoplight to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, nearly a full second quicker than that Esprit. Fair play, though, the Esprit did weigh 3,040 pounds.
It will be fitted with a six-speed manual only, and cost 52,900 pounds ($79,667 US), 55,378 euros ($71,404 US) or 8,500,000 yen ($82,078 US), depending on where you live. Here in the US we'll be sticking with the track-only Exige V6 Cup and Cup R models. The press release below offers more on the fine points.

Coca-Cola returning to F1 with Lotus sponsorship [w/videos]

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

Even before Red Bull Racing became a record-breaking three-time Constructor's Champion in Formula One, it has dominated conversations both as a team and as an energy drink. After seven years of "Red Bull this" and "Red Bull that," Coca-Cola is reportedly ready to jump into the F1 fray with its Sweden-based energy drink Burn.
Rumors had placed Coca-Cola's entry with McLaren F1, but it's actually Lotus that has secured the deal. We have no idea what the sponsorship will look like, but the website for Burn says that "We [intend] to foster that creativity by incorporating art and music in a way that will break the conventions of traditional F1 sponsorship," Lotus F1 team principal Eric Boullier adding "We are excited to partner with burn to build a new and innovative model for sponsorships that will combine experiences, content creation and social media..."
Since most - including this writer - have no idea what Burn is, we've included a couple of Burn commercial spots to help get us up to speed, which you'll find below. The 2012 season hasn't even ended, and we're already looking forward to 2013...

Kimi Raikkonen moving to Ferrari?

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Kimi Raikkonen, easily one of our favorite current drivers in Formula 1, may be making a move from Lotus to Ferrari, according to a Finnish tabloid called Ilta-Sanomat. Raikkonen, who won the driver's championship in 2007 with the Italian brand, is in high demand and is also rumored to have options on the table from Red Bull and his current team.
Of course, a move by Kimi to Ferrari means at least one of the Maranello-based outfit would need to find another ride. Driving ace Fernando Alonso has publicly voiced his displeasure with the Ferrari chassis, and rumors have the Spaniard considering a move to Red Bull to replace Mark Webber. Buckle up, folks, this Silly Season is shaping up to be bumpy...
