Up for sale is a 2005 Lotus Elise in Storm Titanium with Red leather interior and Black Exige wheels with 38k miles. The Grey/Red combination is incredibly rare, few were made with this combination. Also, the black wheels were only an option with the Exige, but this car was lucky enough to get them from the factory because they had ran out of the standard (and frankly, more boring) Elise wheels.

The car has the Touring pack (leather, power windows, carpet, and additional insulation in the body, doors, and the soft top). The Storm Titanium paint is metallic (another option) that really attracts the eye. The car has the StarShield pack (similar to a 3M clear bra on some body panels). No rock chips in the paint, but there are two minor knicks in the StarShield. No accidents. Always garaged. Regular Maintenance. All documents included.

The car looks great and it is a dream to drive. The best feedback of any car I've ever driven. If you've ever driven karts, you will love this car. Cosmetically, the car looks fantastic. Mechanically, everything is perfect with the exception that the 2nd/3rd synchro needs replaced, hence the slight discount from comparable Lotii. For the sake of full disclosure: the two estimates I've gotten were approximately $150 for the synchro and $900 for the labor. The prospective buyer may want to do other things while the work is being done (i.e. clutch upgrades, etc), so I have opted to let the buyer have it done. If you like working on cars (and apparently many Lotus owners do), 90% of the work can be done by yourself and you can save yourself some coin. I can provide the Lotus repair documentation if desired.

The Elise only weighs 1950 lbs! It goes 0-60 in 4.7 seconds on 168 HP! The car broke Road & Track's 60-0 braking distance record at 105 feet! It has no power steering which gives it incredible response on the road.

If you're looking at this car, you clearly have good taste for fine automobiles. If you've never owned a Lotus but always have wanted to, this is a great car to start with. However, you should be comfortable talking to people who approach you about this car...because it will happen. Frequently.

100% feedback since 1999.

Recap: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix is Catalan for 'Lottery' and 'More pit stops'

Tue, 14 May 2013

This year's Formula One season might qualify as being just as crazy as last year's, only it's a different kind of crazy. Instead of a new winner every Sunday, how the winner actually manages to take the victory is the mystery, and just when we thought the season might have settled into a groove regarding team performance, here comes the Spanish Grand Prix to remind us that we don't know anything until the race has been run.
There were many similarities to past weekends to being this one: Mercedes-AMG Petronas showed awesome one-lap pace, Fernando Alonso did well enough in qualifying to get fifth on the grid but talked up the race pace of the Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen was the equivalent of a racing photobomber, never saying much but always showing up in the picture, Felipe Massa wasn't really big on the tires and McLaren might want to consider starting a blues band they spend so much time singing them.
Then the lights went green and things went nuts...

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
