2001 Lotus Esprit GT Twin Turbo V8. This is getting to be a very rare car, in fact in 1999 to
2001 there were only 204 of them manufactured, and only 60 from 2001 with the round tail lights.
This is no normal Lotus Esprit...this Esprit has been rebuilt with racing components to a level at which is truly
breathtaking.
The owner wanted it fast. The engine has been rebuilt once with forged pistons, large 100cc racing injectors and
upgraded Turbos all at a cost of more than $25000. But it was not fast enough.
Then it was rebuilt again, 800 miles later, with even more upgrades, including APS Head Bolts, upgraded cams for
more low end torque, upgraded EMS, ECU and more powerful fuel pump.
Since the second rebuild (less than 100 miles ago), the owner has suffered an injury from a car accident and can no
longer drive a 5 speed manual vehicle so sadly this must go.
This Lotus Esprit makes more than 550 bhp at the rear wheels. With a curb weight of 3000 pounds that means this
car is a Ferrari, Lamborghini and Z06 killer in the 0-60, 0-100 and on any race track.
This Lotus Esprit has a rear camera to make it easy to reverse, the radio has a remote control, navigation system
and hard drive for MP3 and video files.
The interior is in good shape and features LED lighting, with LED projectors under each door with the LOTUS logo.
Currently the rear wing has been removed however it is included in the sale and can be installed at no cost if the
new owner wishes it so. Mileage is an estimate, will update when available.
The owner is a Lotus Owners Group Member and has had 4 Lotus Esprit cars so he is very well versed in the way they
operate and is meticulous about the maintenance on these cars.

Lotus Evija whirs onto Quail lawn to tempt 130 prospective customers

Sun, Aug 18 2019

At last, we've met the Lotus Evija in its compact, electric-charged glory. The carbon-fiber-bodied electric supercar looks like liquid metal poured over some skeletal biologic form. The coupe represents the first all-new Lotus since the ten-year-old Evora went on sale, the first Lotus developed wholly under Geely ownership, the first in-house all-electric vehicle from Hethel, the first Lotus with a one-piece carbon fiber monocoque tub, and the first one Hethel HQ will send to the Nurburgring to break a lap record. Lotus announced that lap record tilt saying it should be "comfortably quicker" than the all-electric NIO EP9 road-legal EV that ran a 6:45. That has since been broken by the 6:05 figure Volkswagen achieved with its ID.R, a purpose-built electric race car. The 'Ring doesn't yet divide EV times into classes, so we'd still like to see Lotus go for outright honors. That is indeed unfair, but the Evija has the numbers to at least make a go of it. The four electric motors in the ID.R produce a combined 680 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque to move a car weighing 2,500 pounds. The Evija's 50 percent heavier at 3,700 pounds, but has almost triple the horses and more than double the torque, its two motors making a combined 2,000 horsepower and 1,254 pound-feet of torque. It does have active aerodynamics, including a moving rear wing, but it's still short a bunch of race aero, a giant front splitter, and a DRS button. No matter how the German caper turns out, we expect Lotus will be able to find homes for all the Evijas it offers for sale. Only 130 will be made, each one starting at around $2.1 million.

Renault paid GBP1 to buy back its F1 team

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Running a Formula One team is anything but cheap and straightforward, but it didn't cost Renault much to reacquire the Lotus team from Genii Capital. In fact, according to the latest reports, the French automaker paid just GBP1 – less than a buck fifty – for the privilege. Still, the process was deeply complicated. The reason Renault was able to get it so cheap is because the team was deeply in debt, part of which Renault will now assume. Less than a year ago, the team was said to be nearly $200 million in the red, and just a few months ago Renault came to its rescue to pay a $4 million tax bill to the British government. Under the terms of the new deal, Renault will assume the debt that the team's previous owners had accrued, but will be spared the nearly $150 million which its stakeholders loaned to the team. The history of the outfit based in Enstone dates back to 1981 when it was founded as Toleman Motorsport. French fashion giant Benetton bought the team in 1985, which in turn sold it to Renault in 2000. A decade later, after two world championship titles, Renault began stepping back its involvement in the team and gradually transferred ownership to investment firm Genii Capital, which has run it ever since under the Lotus name that it secured from the automaker under contract until 2017. Unable to fund a competitive team, Genii has now sold the team back to Renault, but the financial intricacies of the deal are far from straightforward. To start with, Genii and its subsidiary Gravity Motorsports (the team's parent company) didn't hold all the shares in the operation, so it bought back over 6 million shares from Whiterock Alliance to add to its own 60 million shares. The vast majority of those shares were then transferred (for that princely sum of GBP1) to Gringy (UK) Ltd, the shell company that technically owned the team in its Benetton days. Gringy (a wholly owned subsidiary of Renault) will hold a 90-percent stake in the team, with the last 10 percent remaining in Genii's hands and those of its investors. In the process, the outfit will now rejoin the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes among the F1 teams developing their own powertrains.
