2011 Lotus Evora S Coupe 2+2 on 2040-cars
Norwich, Kansas, United States
More infos regarding my car at: michaelegremminger@netc.fr .
Summary: 2011 Lotus Evora S, VIN SCCLMDSU4BHA11842, six speed manual transmission, rare special order Bordeau red
exterior, black leather interior, 8,076 miles, showroom condition inside and out, Larini muffler, upgraded Wilwood
clutch reservoir, clean and extensive history, 2 owners. Originally special ordered by Denver area Lotus club
member, currently MD enthusiast owned. Being sold as part of an upgrade to a McLaren MP4-12C.
Background: The Lotus Evora S is a significant upgrade to the already great standard Evora, bumping HP from 276 in
the standard car to 345 via a 5.5 psi supercharger added to the 3.5L V6. Other S upgrades include an improved
shift linkage for the six speed manual, more aggressive exterior styling, and suspension upgrades. The S also
includes optional base Evora packages as standard, including the sport suspension and sport gearbox. Performance
from the Evora S matches the exotic styling, as the 3171 lb lightweight sports car will do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and
pull 0.98 G on the skid pad. The driving experience is pure Lotus, agile and responsive without being harsh. The
Larini exhaust provides an exotic sound track without being obnoxious, a perfect fit for the car. Unlike its more
hardcore brothers the Elise and Exige, the Evora is equally capable of being a track toy or a daily driver.
Options:
Technology Package – navigation, rear view camera
Audio Package – upgraded audio speakers
Paint Protection Film
Special Order Paint
Upgraded Wheels
Exterior: Absolutely incredible condition outside. Per the description when buying the car, this may be the only
Evora with a Bordeau red exterior as it was special ordered by the original owner and not found on the standard
color list. Regardless it is certainly rare and an absolutely stunning color, the pictures do not do the depth and
richness of the color justice. Extensively detailed and nearly flawless, the car has a clean accident history and
original paint. Forged alloy wheels are in like new condition without curbing or other damage, and wear Michelin
Pilot Super Sport tires with like new tread. Original and excellent condition glass without visible wear. The
only exterior flaw of note is light scuffing on the underside of the front bumper lower lip, which is not visible
unless the car is on a lift. The underside is extensively detailed as well, with the car sharing time on a four
post lift with a Shelby Super Snake.
Interior: As new condition inside. Flawless without any stains, tears, wear, damage, pets, or smoking. The
upgraded audio, navigation, and rear view camera are worthwhile optional upgrades to the standard Evora audio
system. All features work flawlessly, with ice cold A/C, hot heat, cruise control, power windows/locks/mirrors,
etc. The rear seats were upgraded to leather seats from another Evora, so they are a perfect match to the leather
front buckets. Very light scuffing on the driver’s side Recaro outer bolster is the only flaw. The rear seats
are in like new condition, and while small are usable for children or a short drive in a pinch. The cockpit is
overall a very comfortable place to spend time, driver oriented and high quality. An exceptional car.
Mechanical: Again, as new condition. As expected the driving experience is amazing, the steering is typical Lotus
telepathic, the brakes are strong and responsive, the shifter is smooth and positive with a linear and easy to
modulate clutch, and the suspension and mid-engined layout yield a scalpel of a car. Finally the upgraded
supercharged 3.5L V6 belies its Toyota beginnings with smooth linear power, responsive from all RPM levels, and an
exotic sound with the supercharger undertone. The exhaust also provides an incredible sound with an amazing howl
at higher RPM levels, but still mellow at lower RPMs. The clutch reservoir has been upgraded to a Wilwood unit to
improve feel and reduce fade when hot. This Lotus drives exactly as well as you would expect a pampered car with
just over 8,000 miles to drive, and that is as new. No mechanical flaws to note, the engine starts easily without
smoke or warning lights, there are no leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly without grinding, the clutch is free
of chatter or slipping, the brakes are smooth and strong without pulling, and the suspension is free of clunks or
other negative characteristics. Owned by two obsessive car enthusiasts this Lotus has never been subjected to any
variety of racing, instead it has lived life stored indoors under cover and driven on nice days only. Again, as
new condition.
Maintenance: Very well maintained but also very reliable, this Lotus has wanted for nothing. Recent maintenance
includes multiple inspections, an improved clutch reservoir, multiple engine oil changes, transmission oil, brake
and clutch bleed, pollen filter, engine filter, and driver’s door latch. Records are available for services, the
car is exceptional and needs nothing.
Conclusion: This Lotus Evora S is absolutely exceptional inside and out, with a rare color and upgraded exhaust
only adding to the desirability. Clean history and well documented, just exceptional. For serious shoppers
looking for a well-equipped and perfect condition Evora S, you won’t find one nicer. This exceptional car is
located in Wichita, KS, upon request a copy of the Carfax and over 150 high resolution photos will be provided. A
custom fitted Lotus car cover is also included. Thank you in advance for your interest, you will not be
disappointed.

Evora GT430 revealed, Lotus' most powerful road car ever
Thu, Jul 20 2017A new Lotus grows in the English garden of lightness and speed. Lotus bills the Evora GT430 as the company's fastest, "most powerful and accomplished road car to date." And the stats seem to back that up. Lotus says the GT430's 0-to-60 time is a brilliant 3.7 seconds, the logical result of putting a 3.5-liter V6 supercharged and charge-cooled engine producing 430 horsepower into a car with a curb weight of 2,858 pounds (2,768 pounds exsanguinated). Lotus, in continual pursuit of its fetish for lightness, used carbon fiber (some of it exposed) and lightweight chassis innovations to knock 81 pounds off the curb weight of the already-quite-light Evora 410. Other comparison points: The 410 makes 410 horsepower, hence the name, with a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds. The GT430 also gains torque over the 410, generating 325 pound-feet, though higher in the rev range at 4,500 rpm, to the 410's output of 310 at 3,500. The GT430 comes only with a six-speed manual (you can get an automatic in the 410 if so inclined), and its top speed is 190 miles per hour. Tack on aero, notably the large carbon wing, that generates up to 550 pounds of downforce (that's at top speed, but there's plenty far slower), and Lotus says the result is "tremendous real-world speed and handling unheard of in its class." It's the first new product announcement since news broke of Lotus' sale to China's Geely. Only 60 Evora GT430s will be built, at a base price of 112,500 pounds (VAT included) that will escalate quickly with options. That's around $125 grand, assuming you could get one here.

Lotus C-01 motorcycle shows its carbon-fiber face
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Well, this isn't exactly what we were expecting. The images you see above come from Motorcycle News in the UK and are apparently official renderings of what the upcoming Lotus C-01 motorcycle will look like. As you can see, it's sort of a power cruiser, with a raked-out front end and extremely wide rubber out back.
Power will reportedly come from a liquid-cooled V-twin engine sourced from KTM, similar to the one used in the Austrian's brand's own RC8R, but tuned to produce around 200 horsepower. It appears that the powertrain and all its related necessities will be housed in a carbon fiber monocoque (whether the bodywork serves as a stressed member or not, we can't say) in a traditional-looking black (really, exposed carbon fiber weave) and yellow color scheme.
From the looks of these renderings, the C-01 might be intended as a competitor for the Ducati Diavel and ought to be very quick in a straight line. We're not so sure that's what a motorcycle wearing the Lotus badge should be, even if its builders are only using the marque's name under license, but we're looking forward to seeing the final result in production trim.
Lotus team out of Le Mans, full driver list published
Tue, 20 May 2014We can scratch off one more car from the list for the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Lotus T129 LMP1 car has been dropped from the entry list of the 82nd running of the historic race, with organizers citing "a lack of preparation" as the reason. On a more positive note, the list of 168 drivers in 56 vehicles has been officially published for the June 14 race.
Like the Lotus team currently in Formula One, the Lotus T129 uses the iconic British brand's name and colors but is actually built by a separate company. It previously ran a Lola chassis in the LMP2-class (pictured above). The Le Mans organizers claim the car will likely be on display during the 24-hour race, but it won't make it's competition debut until the World Endurance Championship round at the Circuit of the Americas in September. The T129 is being replaced by an Oreca 03 chassis with Nissan power in the LMP2 class, entered by Millennium Racing.
The Lotus' retirement came as the teams had to send in the names of the three drivers nominated to race each car. This year there are racers from 26 countries with the most coming from France (39), Britain (29), the US (17) and Italy (15). The latest tally of entries breaks down to 9 LMP1s, 19 LMP2s, 9 LM GTE Pros, 18 LM GTE Ams and the Nissan ZEOD RC as the experimental Garage 56 entry.
