Lotus Exige 2006 (1 Of 338 Imported) With Lotus Oem Supercharger on 2040-cars
Scarsdale, New York, United States
|
You are bidding on a rare, meticulously maintained, and fantastically running 2006 Lotus Exige.
As many know, 2006 was the first year the Exige made its way to the United States. There were 338 imported. (Not sure how many still are registered.) In this year, they were normally aspirated. The 1 owner (previous to me), who purchased the car in Irvine, CA in 2006 maintained the engine type. I purchased the vehicle in November 2013, about 400 miles ago. I added a Lotus OEM Supercharger in partnership with Lotus Specialist Intermecanica. (Consult Lotus Forums for owner Waldir Zangiacomi's knowledge, expertise, and reputation. He has been working on Lotus vehicles since 1967.) The vehicle carries a clean CarFax and AutoCheck. As well as a clear New York State Title. (It's been in my garage, or at Intermecanica's garage since purchase.) Along with the Lotus OEM Supercharger, the engine received lots of love and attention in the form of new OEM and Lotus specific parts - either purchased through British Racing Group or Sector 111. Injectors, two fuel pumps, Intercooler, GPAN. One of the two ECU's has been tuned to run E85. When tuned, it generated approximately 330 WHP. I will provide a second ECU for the vehicle to run regular unleaded gas. The engine and all parts allow for both fuels. All is brand new. Additional New Parts include, listed with their purchase date:
Maintenance:
Other:
There is much more that was purchased for the car to not only bring it up to 2014 levels, but also rival if not surpass latest model Exiges. Will share all purchase and labor receipts. In all, over $25,000 in parts and labor was put into this vehicle. (As with a many aspects of a house renovation, recouping the costs is not necessarily on the list. But please know that every part has been purchased and installed with thought and precision by one of the best Lotus mechanics/engineers in the northeast.) As mentioned, since owning the car it has been driven about 400+ miles. Ideally, the potential buyer is local enough to see the vehicle. It is will surprise, as it did me when I saw it in person and on the lift before buying it. From what was shared with me, the 1 owner in California never tracked the normally aspirated car. He drove it, and used it in fact as his daily driver, doing freeway driving. Since owning it, the car has seen two (15 minutes each) of safety car control sessions on a closed course. (Limerock). While I am not the active 'track guy,' the next owner would be ready to drive spiritedly on the road, and depending on skill level, be at the front of the line on a track day. One other items of interest: The vehicle was fitted with a hinge to lift the rear clam for easy access/maintenance. The construct and design is similar to the BOE Clam Hinge. (See picture.) This will save hours accessing tough to reach areas of the engine. Those who own an S260 may disagree, but this car, as it has been carefully kept 100% Lotus but given a significant jolt, performs at or above the S240 of S260 - with the handling of an Exige and 330 Wheel Horsepower. Dyno run in May 2014. |

Lotus won't launch a 3-Eleven successor until it overhauls its range
Tue, Apr 7 2020Lotus has received an enthusiastic response to limited-edition models like the 3-Eleven. It's open to the idea of making similar cars, but Autoblog learned fans shouldn't expect to see one until it has overhauled its range. "There is room for it, but we have so many things to do that we're already committed to. Getting a new product range out there is the priority," Matt Windle, the firm's engineering boss, told us during an interview. The decision to wait is a wise one, because Lotus has a lot on its plate for a small company. It's putting the final touches on the electric, 2,000-horsepower Evija, it's allegedly working on a new Esprit with hybrid power, and unverified rumors sketch the outline of an SUV pegged in the same segment as the Porsche Macan. On the other hand, the global market's appetite for few-off models is healthy. Bentley had no trouble selling 12 examples of the Bacalar, for example, and even Aston Martin wants a piece of the pie. This trend isn't lost on Lotus; it knows it's in a unique position to capitalize on it. It competes at a lower price point than most other companies making limited-edition cars, and its "light is right" motto is still revered in enthusiast circles. While its car-building division is busier than ever, its engineering arm has the bandwidth to work on special projects. "Lotus Engineering, the consultancy side of the business, is going strong as well. We've been talking about bespoke programs with other companies. That's one way we could deal with that, and it would take it away from the main product development teams. Nothing is confirmed yet, but there are a lot of discussions going on," Windle revealed without giving too much away. Lotus has been there before. It notably helped John Z. DeLorean bring the DMC-12 to the market, and it transformed the Opel Omega into the fastest sedan in the world. Some of our geekier readers will remember the "handling by Lotus" emblems on the Isuzu Impulse. It has worked on several General Motors engines, too, including the EcoTec unit that once powered several Saab, Saturn, Chevrolet, and Pontiac models. The next limited-edition Lotus will have big shoes to fill whenever it arrives. The aforementioned 3-Eleven stood proud as the fastest street-legal Lotus when it made its debut in 2015, and the 430 variant (pictured) launched in 2018 put an even greater focus on performance.
Join XCAR as it explores the history behind the Lotus Seven
Fri, Feb 28 2014All modern Caterhams are based on the Lotus Seven – a small, lightweight roadster developed by Colin Chapman back in 1957. That car has evolved into an entire range of models, spanning from the new, affordable 160, shown below in the latest video from XCAR, to the maniacal 620R. Over the years, the Seven has come to be a known quantity among auto enthusiasts. What isn't as well known is the origin of the Seven and the cars that came before it. As XCAR points out, "What happened to [the Seven's] earlier ancestors? What happened to the Lotus numbered one through six?" The answer probably isn't what you'd expect. Scroll down for a great look at unique motorsport that inspired Colin Chapman's earliest efforts in the latest video from XCAR. This content is hosted by a third party.

Watch Lotus F1 team careen through a mall in Renault Twizy EVs
Sat, Nov 29 2014The Lotus Formula One Team is sticking with drivers Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado next year, but it's dropping Renault as an engine supplier in favor of Mercedes power. The 2014 F1 season is barely over, though, and that mean's there still a little time left to put those marketing dollars to work, while still having a little fun, too. To that, Renault has put Grosjean and Maldonado behind the wheel of two Twizy electric cars and unleashed them on The Dubai Mall for an ad for the little buggies. The place is one of the world's largest shopping centers, and it also houses an aquarium, an ice skating rink and even a dinosaur. It's a big place, and unsurprisingly, the two F1 pilots drift the little buggies with ease around every part of the complex. Grosjean even gets some time on the ice. Check out the ad for the quirky EV in the video above.
