2008 Lotus Elise SC Rare and Immaculate 60th Anniversary Special Edition Lotus In 2008, Lotus created a special 60th Anniversary Supercharged edition and built only 43 of these cars. Of those, only 19 were offered in Phantom Black with the silver stripe. I searched the US for one in 2009 and found this vehicle for sale at a dealership in Cleveland, OH. It had been sitting in a dealer showroom for two years and had only been driven 180 miles to and from an auto show in Ohio. I purchased the car as NEW in January, 2010. It had never been titled. It was shipped in a closed trailer to my home and has never been in inclement weather. This car is in incredible condition. Never a scratch, nick, or dent. Paint is all perfect. Non-smoker. Car still smells new. Every function works perfectly. One
owner car always meticulously maintained by Lotus dealership. TJ Waszak, arguably the best
Lotus mechanic in the Midwest, has personally performed all maintenance, tech
prep, and service and has offered to be a personal reference to the quality of
this car and the way it has been maintained. Back in 2010, TJ added a Moroso Oil Pan ($700)
to this car to increase oil capacity from 4 to 6 quart wet sump and reduce risk of
oil starvation. Also, added Schroth
4-point harness (wide) shoulder belts for safety. The car was recently serviced for resale, including new tires, oil and filter, and a complete tech inspection to confirm car is in perfect condition. Car has been detailed and looks perfect. Car had new brakes and complete brake flush at 16k miles. Car also comes with battery-minder (trickle charge to protect battery) and WeatherShield Car Cover ($350) in great condition (car stays covered in garage). I have the original window sticker that shows price at $63,120. The 60th Anniversary edition was a $7,495 option. It offers components that were only available this one time on an Elise SC. This is the most sought-after car ever to come out of Norfolk, UK. Car comes with the following special features: ·
Upgraded black leather interior utilizing Silver contrast stitching ·
60th Anniversary logos embroidered in the headrests ·

Lotus renames Russell Carr its head of design
Wed, 22 Oct 2014There's been a changing of the guard at Lotus recently. The legendary British sports car manufacturer fired its controversial chief executive Dany Bahar and replaced him recently with Jean-Marc Gales. And now it's named a new chief designer. Or rather, renamed its old one to the post.
That designer is the appropriately named Russell Carr, who had previously held the post until Bahar brought in his former compatriot Donato Coco (with whom he had previously served at Ferrari) and charged him with designing a series of ambitious but ill-fated concept cars that debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and were subsequently axed on Bahar's way out. Now Coco has been shown the door as well, effective at the end of this month. In his place, Carr - who has been with Lotus since 1990 - has been given back his old job after having been demoted to playing second fiddle to Coco for five years.
Although both Gales and Coco both served in senior positions at PSA Peugeot Citroën, Gales didn't join the French automaker until 2009 - the same year that Coco joined Lotus, five years after having left PSA to work at Ferrari.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Lotus spotted testing more extreme Elise on the Nordschleife
Tue, 19 Aug 2014If we had a nickel for every version of the Elise that Lotus has rolled out over the years, we might actually have enough spare change to buy one ourselves. And we're not even talking about the entire separate models (like the Exige and Europa) that Lotus has based on the Elise's platform or the other automakers' cars (like the Tesla Roadster and Hennessey Venom GT) that have used the same. And now Lotus appears to be testing another one.
Spotted lapping the Nürburgring, what we're looking at here appears to be the track-bound Elise S Cup R, but our intrepid paparazzi by the side of the track tell us it's missing the switches for the battery isolator and fire extinguisher. In their place, this Elise is wearing an even bigger rear wing as part of an altogether rather aggressive aero kit - not to mention a rockin' matte red wrap.
All of these telltales make us think Lotus has something extreme in the works, and we could find out what exactly it is as early as the Paris Motor Show in October, so stay tuned and watch this space.
