They don't get any better. The new Elise looks terrible IMO. It doesn't even look like a Lotus Elise. This is the classic, race inspired, corner-taking beast of a car. Yes, it is loud and hard to get in and out of, but that's the point. The car is not made for a latte in one hand and a cell phone in the other, it is meant to drive. Put your cell phone down and get your hands on the wheel! There is nothing like a LOTUS and this is the best looking LOTUS I have seen in years. I've owned 3 myself, I just like them, drive them, take care of them, then sell them. For me, there is no other sports car - and I've owned Corvettes and 911's. No comparison.
CAR has been in NEVADA and GA for almost all its life. No snow, no sand, no rust!
RUST: This car cannot rust. Why? It is aluminum underneath, so it will oxidize if anything. Oxidized aluminum can actually be stronger than its original state. Science aside, these cars are fantastic for investing because they DO NOT RUST and DO NOT DENT. They scratch, but this in injection molded fiberglass surrounding an aluminum bathtub basically. You are sitting inches above the ground, so if you hear a sound, you might be able to tell what year that penny was - that is normal. The entire car is covered underneath by a huge sheet of aluminum, so expect to hear a few noises from gravel and stones.
2 AIRBAGS: Driver and Passenger, stock.
2005 Lotus Elise, Saffron (Yellow to non Lotus owners) with extremely well-done Black Racing Stripes. Stripes are in perfect shape. That perfect shape is all around, no dings or nicks to speak of, no damage, never in an accident. One or two of the rims might have a minor scratch or two, but nothing you won't see in the pictures and nothing out of the ordinary for an 8 year old car.
This is an EXTREME HEAD TURNER! WARNING! If you don't like people taking cell phone photos or trying to race up to you car on the highway to get a shot of you and your car, this is certainly not for you. This car gets more looks than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche or other exotic I've been in, because there are so few of these. Roughly 12,000 in existence or less. Nobody knows what it this car is, but everyone wants to either ride in it, take a picture with it, or talk to you about it.
THE BEST PART: The people who ask the most questions are WOMEN. Not men. Swear on my life that this car will draw women to you. I never thought there was such a thing as a "chick-magnet" car, but this one appears to be the one that draws them in like bees to honey. Hey maybe it is the driver? Is he famous? Ah, you never know on Ebay.
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS!
VIN NUMBER is ACCURATE: Some exotics do not pull up initially, but use CarFax, it is accurate - no accidents or incidents - qualifies fully for their guarantee
4 Cylinders, 190 hp - flat stock, not modified in any way
AIR CONDITIONING: SUPER COLD and WORKING PERFECTLY. I live in GA, enough said. You cannot drive a hard top in GA in the Summer without A/C, unless you want to die. Sure, you can roll down the windows, but your face will melt. Turn on the A/C and enjoy the ride.
HEAT: God forbid you need this, the car actually has an awesome heater. It puts out serious heat. Small space to heat up, but you will be surprised how well Lotus took care of the cold weather.
BRAKES: These work fine. I will say from time to time these are known to make noise on the rotors. I took the car to the dealer and they said you just need to press hard on the brakes to remove the dust - they were right. Sediment can get on the rotors and it needs to come off or they will make some noise. It brakes flawlessly and stops on a dime, like all Lotuses do.
2 KEYS! How many used sports cars have 2 keys. I will say that the second set needs to be programmed or have its battery replaced, so really I just use one set. That's often best left for the dealer to do, a pain in the butt to sync the keys and alarm. Have them do it for free when you get your oil changed. You are not taking this car to Jiffy Lube, that's for sure.
Exhaust: Pure stock.
0-60 in about 5 seconds flat. I have timed it at 5.5 personally, Lotus says 4.9-5.1. Either way, very, very fast!
GAS MILEAGE IS PHENOMENAL! 27-29 miles per gallon! HWY, 20-22 miles per gallon! CITY - easy on wallet
INSURANCE: About $90 a month if you use a quality insurer with very low deductibles ( I have $250 comp and $500 collision - you can bump that way up if you want, but people like to "play" with exotics, so be mindful of that) and you have a decent driving record.
Yes, this car has a bad ass DVD player. This 7"s pop-up screen (WITH VERY GOOD and SIMPLE GPS too!) will play while you are driving. It has integrated phone, Ipod, GPS and radio built in. Hell, a 2012 Mercedes doesn't have that. Watch people do a triple-take when they pull up to look inside your car and your favorite DVD is playing. It looks like the TV is on. Folds up and down in seconds.
Rare, pump up bladder lumbar support makes this Lotus a very rare breed indeed. Few of these cars have this feature and it does make the seats more bareable. The car rides hard, but that's why you buy one. It is less forgiving than a Corvette if that gives you an idea. It makes a Corvette feel like a Cadillac.
Tires are 80-85% all around. NEXEN and YOKOHAMA. Different fronts and different rear, as prescribed by Lotus. I have had ADVAN AD08's on my Lotus before, honestly, I think people pay far too much for a track tire on the street.
Hard Top included, no soft top. Ever see a real race car with a convertible top? Ever see a NASCAR race with an open top. I wouldn't drive this car with a piece of cloth as my savior. The soft top was not with the car when I bought it, but I hate them anyway. Think about all the great sports cars. Do they come in convertible as their main issue? No. Another thing, as a convertible this car is very hot and you cannot take the hard top with you. If you live in a SUNNY area, you will appreciate the super cold A/C. Thieves can cut into a softtop and rob you without setting off any alarms. TRUE. No car is burglar proof, but this alarm is LOUD!
Has original tool kit, but no brochure. Sorry.
There is a net between the seats but it is impossible to get at unless you get out of the seat. Minimal storage. Trunk fits 2-3 bags of groceries, tops. It will fit a GUN RANGE pistol bag fully loaded - or at least I have heard that it will. : )
Lined, authentic, silver colored Lotus Car Cover ($250 value - yes, they are that much) included.
Fog Lamps not only work but really help at night. Fog lights are a big option on this car.
ENGINE COVER? Hey, where is the black plastic Lotus engine cover? Well, it is brand new and on the car. I took off the old one because it looked crappy. Not a fan of crappy looking things. So, this has a $75.00 (yes, Lotus plastic is not cheap) brand new engine cover on it now. You will not see the spark plugs as shown. I just wanted to give full disclosure on how it looks.
STAR SHIELD - FRONT and BACK! $1,295.00 option! Star Shield in excellent condition. This is what protects a car that sits literally 3.5" off the ground, your roof is just above your belt if you are 6' tall. You don't see it, but a Lotus without a Star Shield is a dinged up Lotus. DEMAND it if you don't buy this car from others. A MUST! Rocks and debris hit this car all the time due to the height.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls
Sun, 14 Oct 2012A 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.
Lotus Type 132 electric SUV gets another teaser
Mon, Nov 8 2021Back in August, Lotus laid out its product plans for the next few years. One of the most significant ones, and soonest to launch, is the Type 132, an electric SUV. A muddy silhouette was all we got with the product announcement, but now we get an up-close look at the SUV. Unfortunately, this look is so close up that all we can see is the lower grille section. It's not a bad looking grille section, with divvied-up hexagonal openings. They even have active shutters that adjust for cooling or aerodynamics. But of course, there's not much else we can tell. The Type 132 is slated to launch next year, so we won't have long to wait. It's one of four electric Lotus models that will launch in the next few years, not including the Evija supercar.
