Summary: 2011 Lotus Evora S, VIN SCCLMDSU4BHA11842, six speed manual transmission, rare special order Bordeau red
exterior, black leather interior, 8,076 miles, showroom condition inside and out, Larini muffler, upgraded Wilwood
clutch reservoir, clean and extensive history, 2 owners. Originally special ordered by Denver area Lotus club
member, currently MD enthusiast owned. Being sold as part of an upgrade to a McLaren MP4-12C.
Background: The Lotus Evora S is a significant upgrade to the already great standard Evora, bumping HP from 276 in
the standard car to 345 via a 5.5 psi supercharger added to the 3.5L V6. Other S upgrades include an improved
shift linkage for the six speed manual, more aggressive exterior styling, and suspension upgrades. The S also
includes optional base Evora packages as standard, including the sport suspension and sport gearbox. Performance
from the Evora S matches the exotic styling, as the 3171 lb lightweight sports car will do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and
pull 0.98 G on the skid pad. The driving experience is pure Lotus, agile and responsive without being harsh. The
Larini exhaust provides an exotic sound track without being obnoxious, a perfect fit for the car. Unlike its more
hardcore brothers the Elise and Exige, the Evora is equally capable of being a track toy or a daily driver.
Options:
Technology Package – navigation, rear view camera
Audio Package – upgraded audio speakers
Paint Protection Film
Special Order Paint
Upgraded Wheels
Exterior: Absolutely incredible condition outside. Per the description when buying the car, this may be the only
Evora with a Bordeau red exterior as it was special ordered by the original owner and not found on the standard
color list. Regardless it is certainly rare and an absolutely stunning color, the pictures do not do the depth and
richness of the color justice. Extensively detailed and nearly flawless, the car has a clean accident history and
original paint. Forged alloy wheels are in like new condition without curbing or other damage, and wear Michelin
Pilot Super Sport tires with like new tread. Original and excellent condition glass without visible wear. The
only exterior flaw of note is light scuffing on the underside of the front bumper lower lip, which is not visible
unless the car is on a lift. The underside is extensively detailed as well, with the car sharing time on a four
post lift with a Shelby Super Snake.
Interior: As new condition inside. Flawless without any stains, tears, wear, damage, pets, or smoking. The
upgraded audio, navigation, and rear view camera are worthwhile optional upgrades to the standard Evora audio
system. All features work flawlessly, with ice cold A/C, hot heat, cruise control, power windows/locks/mirrors,
etc. The rear seats were upgraded to leather seats from another Evora, so they are a perfect match to the leather
front buckets. Very light scuffing on the driver’s side Recaro outer bolster is the only flaw. The rear seats
are in like new condition, and while small are usable for children or a short drive in a pinch. The cockpit is
overall a very comfortable place to spend time, driver oriented and high quality. An exceptional car.
Mechanical: Again, as new condition. As expected the driving experience is amazing, the steering is typical Lotus
telepathic, the brakes are strong and responsive, the shifter is smooth and positive with a linear and easy to
modulate clutch, and the suspension and mid-engined layout yield a scalpel of a car. Finally the upgraded
supercharged 3.5L V6 belies its Toyota beginnings with smooth linear power, responsive from all RPM levels, and an
exotic sound with the supercharger undertone. The exhaust also provides an incredible sound with an amazing howl
at higher RPM levels, but still mellow at lower RPMs. The clutch reservoir has been upgraded to a Wilwood unit to
improve feel and reduce fade when hot. This Lotus drives exactly as well as you would expect a pampered car with
just over 8,000 miles to drive, and that is as new. No mechanical flaws to note, the engine starts easily without
smoke or warning lights, there are no leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly without grinding, the clutch is free
of chatter or slipping, the brakes are smooth and strong without pulling, and the suspension is free of clunks or
other negative characteristics. Owned by two obsessive car enthusiasts this Lotus has never been subjected to any
variety of racing, instead it has lived life stored indoors under cover and driven on nice days only. Again, as
new condition.
Maintenance: Very well maintained but also very reliable, this Lotus has wanted for nothing. Recent maintenance
includes multiple inspections, an improved clutch reservoir, multiple engine oil changes, transmission oil, brake
and clutch bleed, pollen filter, engine filter, and driver’s door latch. Records are available for services, the
car is exceptional and needs nothing.
Conclusion: This Lotus Evora S is absolutely exceptional inside and out, with a rare color and upgraded exhaust
only adding to the desirability. Clean history and well documented, just exceptional. For serious shoppers
looking for a well-equipped and perfect condition Evora S, you won’t find one nicer. This exceptional car is
located in Wichita, KS, upon request a copy of the Carfax and over 150 high resolution photos will be provided. A
custom fitted Lotus car cover is also included. Thank you in advance for your interest, you will not be
disappointed.

Lotus hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco
Sat, 31 May 2014Being a Formula One driver has its privileges. First off, you get to drive F1 cars for a living. You get treated like royalty and fly around the world. And if you're lucky, you might get a supercar thrown at you once in a while. It all depends on which team you drive for.
Fernando Alonso, for example, has had countless Ferraris, Maseratis, Abarths and Jeeps thrown his way. Lewis Hamilton was a little disappointed not to get the keys to that rare McLaren F1 LM when he won the championship. But Pastor Maldonado just got his hands on a new Lotus Evora S.
Pastor who now, you ask? Pastor Maldonado. The first Venezuelan driver in F1, Maldonado won the GP2 title in 2010 then made the jump to F1, driving for Williams for the past three seasons, impressively winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012. Now he's at Lotus filling Kimi Raikkonen's seat, and took delivery of his white Evora - complete with 3.5-liter supercharged V6 and six-speed sequential gearbox - in Monte Carlo last weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix.
China's Geely buying majority stake in Lotus
Wed, May 24 2017Geely, the Hong Kong car company that owns Volvo, is acquiring control of British car company Lotus. Geely is purchasing a 51-percent stake in Lotus from struggling Malaysian car company Proton, and a 49.9 percent stake in Proton itself. Etika Automotive will gain the other 49 percent of Lotus. France's PSA Group and Japan's Suzuki had apparently also been interested in acquiring Proton. Geely says it plans to revive both Proton and Lotus. "The agreement lays the foundation for a wider framework for both Geely Holding, Proton and Lotus to explore joint synergies in areas such as research and development, manufacturing and market presence," Geely said in a news release. Those joint synergies will be highlighted by the lightweight chassis technology Lotus is known for, which could help Geely improve fuel efficiency. Geely CFO Daniel Donghui Li said the company aims to "unleash the full potential of Lotus Cars" by expanding and accelerating new products and technologies. Proton was nationally held but was privatized in 2007 to Malaysian conglomerate DRB-Hicom, which is owned by tycoon Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary. It was supposed to be the flagship for Malaysia's economic development.Though it owns two factories, Proton mainly rebadges foreign-made cars and sells them in Malaysia. What it has, what Geely presumably wants, is a distribution network in Southeast Asia to pit Chinese cars against Japanese automotive dominance in the region. Retaining a 50.1-percent stake in Proton is seen as a face-saving move. "Proton will always remain a national car and a source of pride, as Proton will still have a majority hold of 50.1 percent," Malaysian finance official Johari Abdul Ghani said. "Our very own much-loved brand now has a real chance in making a comeback, a huge one I hope." Related Video:
Lotus marks 20 years of the Elise
Thu, Mar 19 2015Lotus was a very different company 20 years ago. For starters, it wasn't owned by the Malaysians: it had just been sold by General Motors to Romano Artioli, the same man behind the revival of Bugatti EB110. It had discontinued the Elan, Excel and Carlton, which left the Esprit – by then already 20 years old itself – as its only product. Then the Elise came along and everything changed. The Elise arrived in 1995, based on a lightweight aluminum chassis that was ahead of its time and cloaked in composite body panels to make it incredibly light in the spirit of Colin Chapman's ethos. Its name was taken from Artioli's granddaughter, but stuck around long after he sold the company. The Esprit was eventually retired, and with the exception of the Evora, the Elise served as the basis for every other new Lotus that has followed in the two decades since: the Exige, Europa, 2-Eleven, 340R, and so on. It even lent its underpinnings to a wide array of sports cars for other automakers, including the groundbreaking Tesla Roadster, the all-conquering Hennessey Venom GT, the Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220, and more concepts cars and niche products than we can count. Now 20 years since its introduction, Lotus is celebrating the milestone with the Elise 20th Anniversary Edition. It's based on (and effectively replaces) the Elise S Club Racer, and trims a further 22 pounds off the curb weight. It's got matte black forged wheels and trim, a retrimmed interior and of course all the special badging. UK customers will be able to pick one up for GBP39,900, but as the Elise hasn't been offered Stateside in a few years now, we'll just have to admire – and celebrate – from afar. Lotus Elise celebrates 20 years - Celebratory 20th Anniversary Special Edition Elise - Special edition, based on the Elise S Club Racer, including classic Elise colour schemes - Pioneering and iconic Elise continues to innovate and evolve - Weight reduced by 10 kg The Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Special Edition celebrates the unveiling of the iconic sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1995. 20 years ago, the Lotus Elise revolutionised the sports car world, setting the benchmark for handling, purity of the driving experience, lightweight and efficiency. Its pioneering and advanced bonded aluminium chassis was a market-leading technological innovation at the time and over the years has improved and evolved and remains core to the Elise's exceptional performance today.
