The car is in excellent shape, you are not going to have any problems to drive it.
If you interested in the car, plz do not hesitate and make an offer, do not worry about my feelings if u think the
offer is low, the offer doesn't bite, so it will not shed my blood and I always can decline it, counteroffer or ...
accept it, you never know.
For sale is the one of the best street/track cars on the planet. However, what makes it amazing, no power steering,
is the reason I am forced to sell it. My doctor has diagnosed me with torn ligaments in my bicep and shoulder and
as a result, I’m forced to part with my favorite car in the whole world.
The second reason is that I passed 65 and it's getting more and more inconvenient to get in and out and the ride is
a noisier and shaky then I would prefer now.
I'm the second owner for this beautiful Lotus Exige 220 S and it was purchased originally with 11,000 miles, to
which I’ve put on an additional 57,000 miles myself.
Of the additional miles that I added 70% were on highways, 20% on the track, and 10% on the streets.
I stopped tracking it for 2 years now, and almost stop driving since the injury progressing, so the suspension and
wheel alignment tuned to perfect street driving.
The car has had no incidents at the racetracks or anywhere else, but unfortunately, a few years ago while driving
on the street an old Mack truck did not see that I was in front of it on a red light and started to creep towards
the light. Because the entire car is fiberglass and the truck had guard rails, even though it was an accident at
about 3-5mph there was damage to the fiberglass to the left rear which is visible in the photos. There was
absolutely no damage to anything structural, as it was purely a cosmetic issue, which is why I decided to not get
it fixed.
If u want to repair it, that's not a problem.
Today the fiberglass is not a problem to repair.
The Fibertech fixes the cracks and scuffs - heavy material that is a mix of Fiberglass and Kevlar - but very
strong.
"There are many benefits to using the Fibertech brand of fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) and fiberglass
reinforced concrete (GFRC) by Wilson Composites, LLC. It produces an unsurpassed building material with an
exceptionally high strength-per-dollar cost". "Our Fibertech products do not rot or rust, do not absorb water,
cannot be damaged by termites or other insects, and feature a long-lasting composite surface".
The car is super reliable, I'm not a poor man and never save money on cars, especially track cars of which I have
had many.
The safety driving on streets and especially on track is the most important issue and for that the machinery must
be kept absolutely healthy and money was spent without limits keep the cars in best shapes.
The very positive side of the Lotus is that parts are relatively inexpensive because it's a small car and easily
endure the pressure since it's a light car and was designed for track use more than for street use.
The car has some cosmetic wear and tear as any car with mileage.
The official name of the color is Canyon Red.
The sum of doors number 939 totals 21 - Blackjack Game winning number.
Although the car is now used for street driving only, it was prepped for the track - street (I drove to and
back from tracks in this car on these tires) from the start and includes many aftermarket parts from Sector 111:
Aftermarket Stiffer sway bar
Sector 111 slotted rotors
Pagid RS14 brake pads 60% - 70% left
Aluminum Radiator
New bushings
New Tie Rods
V2 Fuel Tank
V2 Oil Pan
Upgrade brake lines
Carbon Fiber larger roof scoop
Upgraded Intercooler
Trackmate
Rear Camera (Requires LCD display)
6-Point Harness System (However they are expired 2015)
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza R11 with 50% tread life
New, recently changed, stock OEM supercharger
Practically new Bilstein PSS10 adjustable suspension
New, just about 15,000 miles gear box
New Larini exhaust from Sector 111
The car was extremely well maintained by the Intermecanica in Mamaroneck, NY which is well known for dealing with
Lotuses only.

Lotus C-01 motorcycle shows its carbon-fiber face

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Well, 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.

Elon Musk buys James Bond's Lotus submarine, wants to install Tesla powerplant

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Remember when we reported the long-lost-but-found-again Lotus Esprit submarine used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me had sold at auction in London for $966,560 (well, $863,000 plus a 12-percent buyer's premium)? At the time, the buyer's identity remained a mystery, but Jalopnik has reported and confirmed that the man with money to burn is none other than billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of both Tesla Motors and SpaceX. What's even more shocking (maybe not for Musk) is that he wants to install a Tesla electric powertrain in it and make it transform into a road-going car.
The story of the submersible Lotus' journey from movie star to prized possession of the eccentric Musk is remarkable. After filming ended in the '70s, the car was shipped to Long Island, NY and placed in a storage container that was paid in advance by the studio for 10 years. After the money ran out, the contents of the container were sold off Storage Wars-style in 1989 and won by an area couple. It was shown in public on occasion throughout the years, but its value remained a mystery until the gavel fell in London last month. While far from the most valuable Bond car to be auctioned off (that honor goes to the Aston Martin DB5 used in Goldfinger and Thunderball, which sold for $4.6 million at auction in 2010), the Lotus submarine is definitely the most unique.
Also worth noting is that the Lotus sub is more than just a prop. Without the aid of CGI, the film's producers needed an actual submarine that looked like a Lotus Esprit, and so they hired a company called Perry Oceanographic in Florida to build it and hired former US Navy Seal Don Griffin to pilot the sub during the film.

F1 just got a whole lot quieter, and some people are really unhappy about it

Tue, Mar 18 2014

The scene is the front straight of the Albert Park Circuit at the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, and what you see on track on either side of the gentleman wearing the orange hat is a Mercedes AMG Petronas being followed by a Lotus. The first major clue, as should be obvious by the nose of the Mercedes, is that this scene was captured last year. The other major clue in the photo is the gentleman in the orange hat: he's wearing earmuffs to silence the noise. We count at least four people wearing them, and that's before the camera pans. Some F1 fans have been pleased with the sound of the new 1.6-liter V6 engines, but it appears that the majority are not; the organizers of the Australian Grand Prix are threatening to sue because of a "lack of sexiness," and F1 impresario Bernie Ecclestone has declared he was "horrified by the lack of [noise]." YouTube user krookzeh has posted a video comparing last year's 2.4-liter V8 cars on the first lap at Albert Park with the new turbo V6 cars on the first lap this year. You can compare the sounds and the number of earmuffs in the short clip below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
