Selling my Chili Red 2006 Lotus Elise. Currently has 70k miles, clean title, street driven and maintenance up to date with recent services completed. This is a fantastic driving car and handles like no other! Very exotic and unique looking, especially in Chili Red paint, it turns heads and gets questions everywhere I take it. Lots of attention! Reason for selling, I currently do not need the car at the moment so it is up for sale. I have recently completed needed services and upgraded to a few aftermarket parts. Runs and drives perfectly, no issues. This lotus is packaged with touring package, track package suspension, and traction control. This is a street driven west coast only car!It will be sold as it is which includes Bilstein Track pack coilovers with 10k miles, Manly Poly motor mounts, Jan speed stage 2 exhaust, black Exige probax seats, black Exige diffusor, JL Audio front and rear speakers, Pioneer MVH-X560 Head unit, Radium quick clam removal kit, GRP mesh kit, black LOTUS lettering for rear clam and more.I recently completed a few services on the car, such as, new Exige clutch, new poly motor mounts, spark plugs, fresh oil change, oil filter change, transmission and diff fluid change, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, new thermostat, new radiator, new exhaust manifold (header to block) gasket, green air filter (plus removed snorkle), replaced full dashboard including all components, new interior carpeting, new HVAC heating and ac module, sanded and polished headlight lens, turn signal seals and much more! All this has been completed in the last 3 month.There are a few small imperfections with the car. Mainly being the front clam in the lip area. Being a street driven car, there is some rash in the front on the underside. The fiberglass needs to be patched and resprayed to look perfect. I recently had the rear clam resprayed and had the reflectors shaved. There are common wear items throughout due to its age, nothing bad. A few scratches on the inside aluminum. Typical wear and tear for a performance car driven on the street. That being said, this car is very well kept and cared for!I am sure I am missing a few things, overall it a clean lotus with a clean title. It is maintained and well kept. Its hard to sell it, it truly is an amazing experience driving one of these, and it sounds amazing for a 2zz with the Jan speed exhaust!Please shoot me a text, email or give me a call with question!

Lotus Elise returning to US in 2020
Mon, Aug 3 2015If you've been hoping to get your hands on a new Lotus Elise, we've got mixed news for you. The good news is that Lotus will bring the Elise back to the US market. The bad news is that it won't happen before 2020. Lotus was forced to withdraw the model (along with the Exige) from the US market in 2011 after it no longer complied with US safety regulations and its temporary exemptions expired. Lotus first launched the Elise in 1996 when the company was still owned by former Bugatti chief Romano Artioli. It rolled out the current Series 2 model in 2001, and brought it to America for the first time in 2004. The larger Evora faced similar issues, and was modified in the form of the new Evora 400 that now meets US regulations. Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales tells Automotive News that doing the same with the Elise would be unfeasible. "We'd need smart airbags, plus side airbags and to change the whole front crash structure. It would add 100kg," or 220 pounds, said Gales. While modifying the current Elise would be prohibitive, the next version is being designed to meet American standards. That won't happen before 2020. In the meantime, Lotus continues to sell a small number of certain variants of the Elise and Exige for use exclusively on tracks.

Lotus is building 60 extra light, extra aerodynamic Exige Cup 380s
Thu, Apr 20 2017Lotus is never done adding lightness and once again turned its attention to the Exige. Like so many other special Lotuses, this one, called the Exige Cup 380, makes the same 375 horsepower from its supercharged 3.5-liter V6. However, the weight savings is a significant 117 pounds compared with the 2,447-pound Exige Sport 380. This savings comes from the inclusion of many carbon-fiber parts including a one-piece rear hatch, side intakes, hood, front splitter, side sills, and seats, among others. Lotus also removed the gas struts for the hatch to save 2.2 pounds. And if that's not enough, you can save another 2.2 pounds by choosing the optional HVAC and air vent surrounds, and 22 pounds with an optional exhaust system. The Exige Cup 380 also produces significantly more downforce than the Sport, 43-percent more to be exact. That results in maximum downforce of about 441 pounds at the Cup 380's top speed of 175 mph. The car achieves this thanks to a revised front bumper and splitter, vents above the front wheels, more vents behind the rear wheels, and a new rear wing. Even the windshield wiper rests in a vertical position to aid aerodynamics. The Cup 380 doesn't just benefit from better aerodynamics and less weight. The rear tires are wider than the Sport 380 at 285 mm. The Cup 380 also has two-way adjustable shocks and adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars. Even the stability control can be adjusted to the driver's needs. The car is stopped by four-piston brake calipers at all four corners, and a standard steel roll bar protects the driver. If owners wish, they can also add an FIA-certified full roll cage. Lotus will only build 60 of these Exiges, and they're only available in Europe. They're not cheap either. In the UK, buyers will spend GBP83,000 in the UK and ˆ109,900 in Europe. That means this Exige would cost between $106,000 and $118,000, at current exchange rates. Related Video:
NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
