This is not your average Ebay Esprit. Selling my beautiful 1994 Lotus Esprit S4, in stunning Monaco White with Tan leather interior, 42000 miles. Original paint, interior, clean, Autocheck and Carfax history. Service records, books, and all tools are present. Original key with leather keyfob.I recently had the exhaust upgraded to a dual tip as on the later V8's and it just sounds amazing. I will try and get some videos and add them to the listing. Overall it appears to have always been garaged, the only wear is on the driver's seat (see photo) and there are a couple of scratches on the body with one touch up on the rear bumper. Originally a Florida car and then to Ohio and Virginia and now in Georgia. Car runs and drives very well, engine performs as it should, runs strong, clutch and transmission and gearbox are all fine and all synchros are fine as well. Transmission shifts through all the gears perfectly. Turbo provides a sudden burst of speed when it is engaged. It is faster than my Ferrari that I just bought to replace it. Brakes are perfect, tires are 90% full tread, no leaks, no smoke, no strange engine noises. All dash gauges work, air conditioning works, windows work up and down with no problem, radio works, antenna goes up and down when radio comes on, all lights work, turn signals and stop lights etc. Carpets are clean, car still smells new (well, it smells like leather!), non-smoker car. All glass is clean with no chips or cracks. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere in the country and back. This is a very reliable exotic that will give you 27 MPG and a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. Incredible performance to say the least. You can enter the exotic world for the price of a Toyota. This car is a serious looker and gets looks everywhere I take it. Feel free to call with any questions, I have owned 5 Esprits and I am a member of the Lotus club as well. (678) 230-7439. I have the clean title in my hands. Please no offers, this is a steal for what you are getting, this car is fully serviced and needs absolutely nothing, not even an oil change. No trades, I have enough cars, hence this one has to go. I still drive it daily if the weather allows me to so the miles will change from this listing. I recommend the buyer to fly in and drive home, I am 25 minutes from the Savannah airport. I have sold many of my exotic cars on Ebay without any issues, so bid with confidence. If this car is not as described upon pick up, I will refund your deposit. I can also help arrange for transport worldwide.

Lotus says it's hiring 200 new engineers in effort to expand
Mon, May 13 2019Lotus is making moves to rise back up in the automotive world. A report from The Telegraph says the British company will hire 200 new engineers. This batch of hiring comes from the pockets of new Chinese owner Geely. The plans also include the opening of a new engineering center in the U.K. away from its longtime home in Norfolk. Lotus CEO, Phip Popham said this about the new moves. "Lotus has been in survival mode for many years. We're taking on people here and also in the Midlands. We need to tap into the industrial resource outside Norfolk to help our growth," Popham said. These new hires are all part of a multi-billion dollar investment into Lotus from Geely to try and turn the company around. Ultimately, Lotus wants to triple its current production all the way up to 5,000 cars per year. One of the initiatives from this investment is an all-electric hypercar we saw teased not too long ago. Popham also spoke of making cars with a slightly different focus than the Lotus we know of today. "A car not just for the weekend, but one you can live with," Popham says. Ideas of a Lotus SUV or grand tourer have bounced around in the recent past, and those still appear to be in the company's plans. The British brand plans on tapping Geely for many items it doesn't already have, according to the report. These include modern items like digital display screens and parts required for electrification of its vehicles. A new platform meant to house these "livable" Lotus cars is said to be in the works.
2017 Renault Alpine still looks like a Lotus
Thu, Jul 23 2015Two years ago, an oddly modified Lotus Exige was photographed speeding around the Nurburgring. While that car looked British, at the time Renault's engineers were reportedly developing the suspension for the future Alpine sports coupe underneath with some help from the folks at Ohlins. Now, our spies have spotted this weird Lotus-bodied mule out testing, and it might be a major hint that development for the reborn French brand is getting serious again. Unfortunately, it's hard to pull many details about the future Alpine just from this mule. Up front the air extractors are noticeably covered, and at the rear there's now a panel hiding the engine with just some small vents near the very back. The roof-mounted scoop appears to be the major means of sending cool air to the powertrain. Alpine has been back in the news as of late. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the brand's Celebration Concept was unveiled but without many real details. Then, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the car was filmed actually moving under its own power. Earlier reports suggest that a production version, possibly called the AS1, might come in 2017 with around 250 horsepower on tap from an engine mounted behind the driver. Engineers would keep weight as low as possible to make the most from that power. While no version in the US is likely, prices in Europe might be about the equivalent of $34,000 to $40,000.
The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.
