Lotus: Exige on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I am selling my NA 2006 Lotus Exige in Solar Yellow. I have owned it since October 2014. I purchased it with 14k miles from Autoquest in Ft. Myers, FL. It has been my daily driver since then and now sits at 44,000 miles. My commute is 75 miles per day, 70 miles of that being highway. It has been very reliable and has made the commute a blast for almost two years. I am sad to sell it, but I have the itch to get into another toy. I have not tracked the car, but did one autocross day. Its a blast to drive! The oil recall was compeleted. This Exige was optioned with the touring pack, track pack, LSD, starshield, and floormats with aluminum buttons. The following tasteful mods have been compelted: -Toda flywheel and ACT Clutch - Forcefed Header - 2bular Exhaust - 2bular Diffuser - Nitron Singles Coilovers - gPan 3 baffled oil pan - TRACK mounts motor mounts - RTD brace - Stiffy 2 Chassis Brace - Boomerand Tow Hook - Aluminum Jacking Pins - Fire Extinguisher - Stainless Steel Brake Lines -Genuine Lotus Sport Carbon Fiber Wing -Carbon Fiber front splitter -Carbon Fiber side vents -Toyo R888 tires July 2015 -DBA 4000 rotors/new pads July 2015 It has a clean title (in hand) and clean Carfax. I am the second owner. The first owner was a pediatrician in Oregon I believe. The blower motor for the AC/Heater does not work some days. One of the LEDs in the left tailight is out. The headliner started falling, so I removed it. The check engine light is on with a P0420 code due to the headers. The car does have a catalytic converter. The exhaust is just the right volume with nice pops on the deaccel. The original wing, side vents, and splitter will be included. Also included are service records, manual, toolkit, 1 key, 2 fobs.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
Lotus stepping up to LMP1 in World Endurance Championship
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Only a couple of years ago, it looked like the top tier of prototype endurance racing was in trouble. Peugeot shut down its program, leaving the LMP1 category all to Audi to dominate. Only six cars entered the Petit Le Mans in 2012, and the season was cut short. But the top class in the FIA World Endurance Championship has since blossomed. And it only looks poised to grow further.
Audi and Toyota will each be back on the grid this season, joined by Porsche. But the latest news has Lotus stepping up to the big leagues also. (Well, sorta: the German-run squad uses the Lotus name and colors, but has no more to do with the automaker than the Formula One team of the same name.)
The Lotus LMP1 will be based on the same Lola-based T129 chassis used until now in the LMP2 class, with former F1 driver Christijan Albers leading the driver lineup. In addition to Audi, Toyota and Porsche, the solitary Lotus entry will also compete against privateer Rebellion Racing in a nine-car LMP1 grid throughout the season.
Lotus to layoff a quarter of its workforce
Thu, 18 Sep 2014Lotus has issued a press release to day, wherein it indicates that a "need to both reshape its organisation and to reduce costs" may result in the loss of "up to 325" jobs. That's a fairly significant number of layoffs for any company, but considering that Lotus currently employs 1,215 people (per the company's bio in the same release), it could mean a full 25-percent of the automaker's workers could soon be sharpening their resumes.
CEO Jean-Marc Gales says in the statement that Lotus has "worked very hard to avoid the need to make this proposal," but admits that it is now "essential" to the future of the company. The chief indicates that post-restructuring, he expects Lotus to be a "leaner" and "more competitive" organization, one which - and we can all see a little silver lining here - is focused on "producing class-leading sports cars and innovative engineering."
The 325-job number appears to be soft at this point, with the statement indicating that some negotiation about which and how many posts will be cut is yet to come. Further, the company may "redeploy" some employees, and may even recruit new blood for "key roles," all with an eye toward running the strongest possible team going forward. Though, we imagine that the recruitment bit won't fly well for those employees getting the sack.
