Up for sale is a 1994 Lotus Esprit S4 that has been updated to the look of a 2003 V8. You will not find a cleaner
Esprit and none more sorted out than this one! Car has 95,XXX miles but everything is new! All maintenance work and
mechanical work was done by the reowned Lotus Prepared by Claudius. AC blows cold and heater blows hot. Back in
1994 this car was blistering fast with the factory claiming it's 0-60 time of only 4.7 sec and a top speed of 170
mph. Still not too bad by today's standards and can keep up with the best of the best. This may not be a super car
but it is an exotic. Head turner, people are always taking photos of the car on the freeway. I have paperwork for
all work done while in my possession.
The following was done within the last 2,000 miles:
- Brand new engine including all sensors, engine mounts, and with forged pistons and ARP studs,
- New water pump,
- All new belts,
- Brand new brake system replacing the troublesome and discontinued GM brake switch and I am not talking about
rotors and calipers, I mean the ENTIRE brake system,
- Brand new STAINLESS STEEL gas tanks,
- New adjustable struts from firmness to ride height,
- New hoses and plug wires,
- New seals for Transmission,
- New fuel pressure regulator,
Other things done while in my possession:
- S4s Chip bringing an already light car to over 300HP boosting 1.2 bar.
- V8 Seats in mint condition,
- V8 door cards in mint condition,
- New Raid Steering wheel with airbag replacing the ugly GM wheel,
- New floor mats,
- New 2003 LED Tail lights and panel,
- New custom HID head lights and fogs.
- New custom wheels made specifically for the Esprit. 18x9F and 19x11R, tires are 235/35F and 305/30R
- V8 Wing,
- V8 Antena,
- New radio with blue tooth and USB input,
- New Brembo Brakes up front,
I have not gone cheap on this car. I am sad to have to let it go to make room for a new car that I have my eye on
but also in zero rush. I will let the photos tell the story.
Only small issue is that there is a faint fuel smell when the tanks are filled full. I believe it is the gasket at
the top of the tank for the fuel gauge sending unit.

Lotus Elise, Exige recalled over oil line fire risk

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Lotus is recalling 451 examples of the Elise and Exige from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The cars in question, built from December 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007 could be affected by an oil cooler line that detaches from its fitting. If the line comes loose it could release oil onto the engine and possibly start a fire, or onto a tire and potentially cause a crash.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates the recall is expected to begin on March 4. Notified owners can take their cars to their dealers for repairs to the lateral oil cooler hose and hose fittings. You'll find the full release from the NHTSA below with more information.

Lotus announces four EVs and moves its technology division to China

Tue, Aug 31 2021

Lotus took a big leap towards the mainstream with the announcement it's building four new EVs, and only one is a sports car. The others include a sedan and two SUVs. And on top of the new product announcements, the automaker revealed its Lotus Technology division is going to set up headquarters in Wuhan, China. With the Elise out of the picture and its pockets full of cash from Geely – parent company to Volvo, too – Lotus is moving forward with its ambitious expansion plans. It announced it will grow its line-up of models with four electric cars shown in the sketch above: an SUV called Type 132 internally and due out in 2022, a sedan marketed as a four-door coupe known as Type 133 and expected to go on sale in 2023, a second SUV referred to as the Type 134 that will make its debut in 2025, and a sports car currently dubbed Type 135 that we'll allegedly see in 2026. This isn't the first time Lotus has made wild claims about its future, but this time it might actually have the funds to pull it off. We knew that an SUV was in the pipeline, leaked patent images may have revealed its exterior design, but the sedan and the second high-riding model are new additions to the company's product roadmap. Lotus explained its so-called "premium lifestyle" vehicles (read: four-door models) will all ride on a new platform called Lotus Premium that's said to be highly modular. Its wheelbase can vary from about 114 to 122 inches, and it can take battery packs with a capacity of 92 to 120 kilowatt hours. It's also compatible with an 800-volt charging system, and Lotus claims vehicles built on the new architecture will be capable of reaching 60 mph from a stop in less than three seconds. As for the other news, while Lotus ostensibly remains based in Hethel, England, its historic home, the Lotus Technology subsidiary broke ground on a new facility in China in August 2021. Lotus explained it formed the division to develop batteries and energy management systems, electric motors, electric control systems and other EV components. Investing in Wuhan rather than in Hethel will certainly raise more than a few eyebrows. It's a move that brings Lotus closer to its parent company and some of its key investors, such as Nio, while pivoting it away from its historic home and its main markets.

Lotus Elise Cup 260 celebrates the automaker's 70th anniversary

Fri, Oct 20 2017

Lotus rides the special edition train nearly as often as Jeep. When you only sell a few models, you need to make the most of what you have. Today, Lotus announced a new very-limited-edition variant, the Elise Cup 260. Just 30 examples will be built and, based on pricing, it doesn't look like it will be coming to America. Hey, the cars are likely all spoken for already. The Elise Cup 260 builds on the Cup 250 and takes influence from the Lotus Evora GT430 and Exige Cup 380. Lotus says this car is even lighter than the already pint-sized Cup 250. Downforce is the name of the game with the Cup 260. The car makes 397 pounds of downforce at 151 mph (44 percent better than the Cup 250), helping the car maneuver around a circuit with copious amounts of traction. The key components here are louvered front fenders, a carbon fiber front splitter and a carbon fiber rear wing that wouldn't look out of place on an FIA-spec GT car. All of the lightweight performance options from the Cup 250 are standard equipment on the Cup 260. The sill covers, roll hoop cover, front access panel and engine cover are all made of carbon fiber. It also uses a polycarbonate backlight glass to save more weight. The Cup 260 has two-piece rotors and two-way adjustable Nitron dampers at all four corners. Strangely, the Elise uses AP Racing calipers up front and a set of Brembo clamps out back. The Elise Cup 260 is powered by a supercharged 1.8-liter inline four making 250 horsepower and 188 pound feet of torque. In the right hands, the Lotus will hit 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Top speed is listed as 151 mph. Lotus' Hethel track is the true benchmark of any car to wear the green and yellow badge. On it, the Cup 260 is 2.5 seconds faster than the Cup 250. The exterior has been done up in gold and features a couple of wreaths meant to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Lotus' first car. The car comes standard with Alcantara upholstery, but if it were our money we'd spring for either the yellow or red Tartan trim pack. As befitting any Lotus, weight savings was first and foremost. Things like air conditioning, carpeting and sound deadening material are all optional extras. Pricing has only been announced for Europe, but the UK base price converts to roughly $77,800. Not cheap, but few if any cars provide the pure, unadulterated driving experience of a Lotus. Related Video:
