2007 Lotus Exige S. 8500 Miles. Fresh K24 Honda Drivetrain. on 2040-cars
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States
2007 Exige S with approx 8700 miles. This Exige is an over the top track prepped fire breathing monster. It is well sorted out, extremely fast, extremely consistent, and designed specifically to handle long runs without any fade or the typical heat related issues that plague the Exige/Elise on the track. The car weighs just over 1500lbs and produces approx 300hp. It is not only fast, but easy to drive fast. It makes good drivers look great and great drivers look like heros. To further improve lap consistency, the driver seat has been shifted to the center of the passenger cabin. The vehicle has had no collision history, and retains the original body and factory paint. The few body alterations have been professionally performed only to either displace heat or improve aerodynamics. It features a freshly built K24 Honda 2.4 liter (drivetrain specifics below)powerplant, freshly built Gear Speed 5 speed gearbox with composite synchros, full aerodyamics, fully adjustable suspension (specifics below), single center mount seat conversion, and spares. The cost to build this car would be well into the six figures. Drivetrain Specs: Honda K24 long block (2005 Acura TSX) Acura RSX Type S head with dual V-Tec Cams. Full Race Cams. Hybrid Racing Fuel Rail. Port Matched. Oversized Throttle Body. Hondata ECM Software. Full Race Stainless Exhaust (no catalytic converter or emission system) Lightweight Flywheel. Clutch is made for track use only and does hop when leaving a stop, but is made to handle the abuse of the track (only 30 or so hours on the clutch) Gearspeed 5speed Gearbox. Specifically designed for this car with no expense spared. Composite synchros and straight cut gears. Third gear is intentionally very long. You will not have problems with this box, period. Limited Slip Differential Oversized Aluminum Radiator with dual top mount electric fans. Oversized oil cooler. Custom high capacity highly heat resistant wiring harness. You will not have electrical issues. All Engine mounts specifically made for this vehicle by Innovative Mounts. There is much more to list... Suspension/Braking: Lotus Forged Cup Wheels Fully Adjustable Nitron 46mm Race Pro Coilovers Monoball Spherical bearings. Sector 111 RTD2 Subframe Brace Upgraded Teflon lined Tie Rod Ends. Hex Shaft Custom Length Toe Links. Camber Plates. Nitron SS90 outer Toe Kit All bushings and Joints upgraded. Floating 2 Piece Brake Rotors. Front AP Racing Calipers. Stainless Steel Brake Lines.

Gurney Flaps Custom Carbon Fiber Engine bay cover (no louvres for smoother over body airflow). Lightweight roof comes with vehicle, but once installed cannot be removed or opened easily. Difflow Undertray Aero Plates. Interior, Electronics, Saftety and Driveability: Center mount seat conversion. All parts are Autocad designed and forged aluminum. From the seat mounts, to the pedals, to the dash/steering column mounts, to the shifter, shifter box and shifter bushings. Reverie Carbon Fiber seat. Can be adjusted, but is currently set up for a 5'-11" to 6'-1", 190-200lb driver. IMRP Shifter Box with Hybrid Racing Short Throw Shifter and customer aluminum linkage (with spares for adjustments). Sparco Steering wheel with removable steering hub. Full Fire System. Hondata Engine Management AIM data logger. Custom aluminum firewall (quick release for easy engine bay access). FIA approved Fuel Cell. Full Cockpit and engine bay cage. All body and underbody fasteners are quick release (the rear bodywork and aerdynamics can be removed in under 10 minutes by two people). Clear Body Protection (Clear Bra). Much more to list. This is the closest you will ever experience to a Lemans Prototype car at almost any price. You could spend $150k or more to replicate a track car with this much speed, handling, consistency, safety. All of the frustrating Lotus traits have been tuned out of this car without losing the soul of the car, yet performance has been brought up to a level that would make Sir Colin Chapman's head spin. |

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.

Race recap: 2015 Singapore Grand Prix full of odd sideshows
Mon, Sep 21 2015What greeted the Formula One teams in Singapore? Confusion. The haze was so thick that observers wondered if the race would be held at all. Then practices began, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg took the first one, but the team fell away after that. Mercedes said it couldn't get the tires turned on, but no one believed the Silver Arrows was in genuine trouble. Then qualifying set the confusion in stone. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel laid down the best time in Q3, taking the team's first pole position since Germany in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo got his Infiniti Red Bull Racing into second, about one tenth behind Vettel. (That may make the team feel better after Ricciardo publicly asked for a better engine than the current Renault unit, and team advisor Helmut Marko said the outfit will quit F1 at the end of this year if it can't get a stronger powerplant for 2016.) Kimi Raikkonen put the second Ferrari in third, Daniil Kvyat put the second Red Bull in fourth. And only then came the Meredes'. Lewis Hamilton's best got him fifth, the Brit saying, "We don't really know what we have got wrong. For some reason the tires are not working on the car. We do the warm-up the same as everyone else and then you see someone one second up the road." For added emphasis on the reversal of fortune, his time was 1.6 seconds behind Vettel's. Teammate Rosberg is next to him in sixth, a further half a second back. Williams is still a hurting a bit on slow tracks, so Valtteri Bottas could only get into seventh ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso and teammate Felipe Massa in ninth. When the red lights went out, the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix would get both less interesting and more interesting all the way to the final lap. The men up front got good getaways, and the order into Turn 1 was Vettel, Ricciardo, and Raikkonen. The race finished with those three in that order, never having conceded position. Vettel's Ferrari enjoyed the track so much that he laid a second per lap into Ricciardo for the first five, then relaxed. He'd let the gap come down later in the race a couple of times, but any time he wanted to see what his mirrors looked like without anyone in them he'd take off again. Rosberg took fourth position after holding down sixth for the first stint. It looked like he'd have an even worse day - for a Mercedes driver - when he had problems getting his car started and onto the grid before the race.
James Bond Lotus Esprit submarine car headed to auction [w/video]
Fri, 28 Jun 2013We've covered many cars from the movies and TV that have made their way to auction (the original Batmobile, good old General Lee and even Bond's iconic Aston Martin DB5), but this one ranks up there among the rarest and coolest. RM Auctions has just announced that the Lotus Esprit submarine car used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me has been added to the docket for its upcoming auction in London, September 8-9.
Of course, there are dozens of Bond cars floating around out there in collections, but none as unique as this Lotus, which ended a chase scene in the movie by taking a long walk off a short pier and transforming itself into a submersible. Since CGI was a meaningless collection of letters back then, the producers of the film actually built a fully functional Lotus Esprit submarine for the shoot. They hired Perry Oceangraphic in Florida to turn one of their six Esprit body shells into a fully functioning submarine, and former US Navy Seal Don Griffin was tapped for piloting duties. RM Auctions claims the Esprit submarine cost over $100,000 to build at the time, which is about $400,000 in today's dollars.
The submarine car comes with a incredible story, too. After filming in the '70s, it was shipped to Long Island, NY where it was kept in a storage unit that was paid in advance for ten years. When the storage contract ended in 1989 and no one claimed the contents, they were sold off in a blind auction to an area couple who had no idea what they were getting. The car has been shown occasionally in the years since, but its value remained purely speculative, until now. To date, the most valuable Bond car we know of is the original Aston Martin DB5 used in Goldfinger and Thunderball that sold for $4.6 million in 2010, but when the gavel falls at RM Auctions' London sale in September, we'll find out if the car nicknamed "Wet Nellie" on set can beat it.
