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 ·
Car is all hand-crafted and this is the shortest production run ever ·
This car has every Lotus option available including ·
Touring Pack which includes o

Driving the Lotus Emira and Nissan Sakura | Autoblog Podcast #805
Fri, Nov 3 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-ChiefΒ Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder and Associate Editor Byron Hurd.

Nissan is considering an affordable, electrified small pickup for America. The VW ID.7 Tourer electric wagon has been revealed, and we consider whether it should come here, too. John talks about the energy of the exhibition halls at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, and our hosts talk highlights from SEMA 2023. Finally, we open some listener mail to help choose a fun convertible rental for a trip to Phoenix in this week's "Spend My Money" segment.

Tesla Model S Easter egg turns car into submarine
Sun, Mar 1 2015When thinking about Elon Musk, the first thing that comes to mind may not be his sense of humor. However, the Tesla boss is embedding a pretty funny Easter egg in the company's cars that references a part of his own collection. Musk famously purchased the Lotus Esprit submarine from the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me for about $967,000 in 2013. At one point, he even intended to install a Tesla powertrain and make it fully transformable. From anyone else that plan would sound like pure fantasy, but Musk has the money and the means to make it happen, if he wants. Now, every Tesla Model S driver gets to share in just a little of that very cool ownership experience. A person on YouTube filmed how to access the Easter egg, and it's extremely easy. Just hold down the T on the infotainment screen for a few seconds, enter the appropriate code 007 and check the suspension settings page. Instead of seeing a Model S, Bond's submersible Esprit now appears. As another cool touch, users can set the vehicle's depth in leagues, and the options max out at 20,000. This is almost certainly a subtle reference to the classic story 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Maybe someday Musk can get the Lotus' conversion complete, and we can see it working for real. Until then, this a neat way to show the unique car off. Related Video:
Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
