As Featured In European Car Magazine - 'one Of A Kind' Super Sports Car on 2040-cars
Shakopee, Minnesota, United States
As featured in European Car magazine - May/2014 issue
Here is an extremely rare opportunity to own a very special Lotus Elise GT widebody roadster sports car. This incredibly unique supercar is a one-of-a-kind 300hp 'street legal' go-kart on steroids. A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Originally shipped to the US as a Lotus factory-built race car (one of 24 left hand drive models shipped), it has been retired and professionally modified for 'street-use'. And since it no longer needed to meet the specs of its original race class, it was built to much higher performance specifications and improved cockpit design/comfort. This is NOT your production Elise/Exige with 190hp Toyota power plant, but rather a 1700lb 300hp 6-spd go-kart on steroids, with nearly twice the rubber on the pavement then a production model S2 Elise/Exige. Translation: This normally aspirated Honda 2.4L iVTEC engine puts out MORE torque/bhp than ANY 'production supercharged' Lotus Elise/Exige ever built (eg. Exige S, S 240 or S 260) and weighs 25% less. It even has more power than the Exige GT3 Prototype Racer (274bhp). Beauty is.... it's all current Honda engine technology, so OEM parts as well as after market parts are inexpensive and easy to find! Want 500hp? Bolt a supercharger to it! Personally, I don't have the balls for it. Maybe you do? Equally Competitive on the Street-or-Track For track use, the Elise GT comes with a separate set of Hoosier R6 tires and a 67" adjustable carbon fiber wing that easily installs in minutes. The aerodynamics of this car at track speed is phenomenal. It also features a auto throttle blip system that eliminates the need to heel/toe under heavy braking and a built-in Traqmate GPS Data Logger system. It is the only one of its kind, so if you want an exotic no one else has, this is it. It could be yours.

New Lotus owners ditch ambitious five-year plan
Thu, 26 Jul 2012This didn't take long. The new overlords at Lotus have reportedly scrapped the company's five-year plan. DRB-Hicom ditched the turnaround strategy, penned by ousted CEO Danny Bahar, because it believes the market viewed the plan as overly ambitious.
The new product plan will slim the number of new model lines from five to three, and Lotus will likely slash the number planned consultants in favor of relying more heavily on in-house talent. According to The Star, the move should help expedite product development and save cash at the same time.
Even so, nothing is written in stone as of yet. DRB-Hicom says the new plan will take up to a year to finalize. The company has dumped around $242 million into Lotus so far this year, and the struggling automaker may require another $121 million by 2013. Lotus all but stopped production earlier this year during a loan freeze, but the lights came back on in April. The company now produces around 44 vehicles per week.
Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus
Mon, 27 Aug 2012File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.
New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.
