2007 Lotus Exige S - 75000 Miles - Well Maintained Vegas Car - Financing Avail. on 2040-cars
We are selling another cool car from one of our good customers.... this 2007 LOTUS EXIGE S performs like a Go-Kart on steroids ... I never knew a 4 cylinder motor could be so fast, but it's Super-charged 220 Horse Power and that's why! and it's handles like it's on rails... unbelievable driving experience... what you give up in luxury creature comforts, you gain in spades with speed and performance...this is most likely the closest you can come to driving a Formula One car legally on the street.. and it gets 22 miles to the gallon as well... the only flaw we can find so far is the road rash on the front end from being driven so much and so fast on the gravelly sandy roads of the Las Vegas desert. The car has 75,000 miles since our owner loved to drive it so much , mostly as his daily driver.. PS - I hope you are flexible, because it's not the easiest car to climb in and out of.. but once you are inside and hit the Start Engine button.. IT'S AL WORTH IT !!!
Below are some basic stats about this model Lotus from Kelly Blue Book: Since the 1982 passing of its founder, Colin Chapman, Lotus has endured a number of economic challenges and ownership changes. But through it all, the quintessentially British marque has remained true to its core values of producing light, quick and superb handling sports machines. Presently, the micro-scaled Exige S coupe and its equally diminutive cousin, the lift-top Elise, carry on Chapman's legacy in the U.S. With more power and better handling than either the Elise or the Exige that it replaces for 2007, the new, supercharged Exige S is the best-performing street-legal Lotus you can buy here. While larger, heavier rivals span everything from a BMW Z4 and Porsche Cayman to the Chevrolet Corvette and Nissan 350Z, none really comes close to matching the sheer visceral involvement offered by this undisputed featherweight champ. You'll Like This Car If...If you're a hard-core enthusiast who'd be thrilled to drive a Formula One car to work everyday if it were street legal, the Exige S is a fantastic alternative—especially as a weekend getaway car. You won't be pampered, but you will be exhilarated every time you slip behind the wheel. You May Not Like This Car If...If you're not a hard-core enthusiast who's fully prepared to trade off just about every luxury convention in return for a vehicle with absolutely brilliant dynamics, steer clear of the Exige S. Those lacking the personal flexibility to negotiate its narrow door openings and wide side sills also should consider a more mainstream two-seat alternative. What's New for 2007The Exige S replaces the Exige here in America for 2007, a change that nets a supercharged engine with 30 more horsepower and an additional 27 pound-feet of torque, plus the formerly optional Sport Pack wheel/tire/suspension group. Lesser upgrades include new projector beam headlamps, subtle bumper reinforcements and raised chrome L-O-T-U-S letters on the rear fascia. Driving ItDriving ImpressionsTurn the key, press a button on the fob and then hit the starter on the dash and the Exige S snaps to life like the de facto street racer it is. Complementing its phenomenal balance and incredible control responses is a high-winding engine that sends an equally high-intensity exhaust note reverberating through the passenger compartment every time you step into the throttle. With only 37 percent of its 2,077 pounds on the front wheels, the car's unboosted steering feels intuitively connected through even the most demanding corner. Mastering the slightly notchy linkage on its manual gearbox does take some practice, but the payoff is acceleration that puts the Exige S in borderline supercar territory. On the braking side, its standard anti-lock brakes (ABS) and potent 11.5-inch vented and cross-drilled discs work impressively with the car's super-grippy tires to deliver short, straight stops with reassuring regularity. Favorite FeaturesAmazing Handling Spartan with style, the compact cabin of the Exige S displays lots of bare aluminum, exposed fasteners, hard-touch surfaces and a Momo sport wheel that leaves no doubt about its true purpose. The compact cockpit can accommodate six-footers—at least those supple enough to bend-and-fold their way in and out. Torso-hugging racing-style buckets lined with ProBax anatomical padding provide a decent range of fore and aft adjustment but, like the fixed steering column, require you to adapt to their preset seatback angle. The Exige does offer a few conventional creature comforts, notably an Alpine sound system and air conditioning, but its manually-adjusted mini side mirrors do little to enhance the already restricted sightlines. With only a tiny "trunklet" directly behind the engine bay, be prepared to always travel light. ExteriorThe Exige S shares the same composite-fiberglass body over bonded aluminum chassis structure as the Elise and the same Ardent Red and British Racing Green standard colors. However, its more sensual primary contours—augmented by a disconcertingly vulnerable front spoiler lip extension and a functional fixed rear wing—give this true-coupe variant superior high-speed downforce. A low-profile roof scoop feeds outside air directly to the intercooler for its supercharger, but the housing itself totally obstructs visibility out the rear window. Complementing this competition-inspired design are staggered-width (16-inch front/17-inch rear) forged-alloy wheels that mount Z-rated 195/50 Yokohama Advan A048LTS tires up front and 225/45s out back, and a large oval center exhaust outlet flanked by bold rear diffuser tunnels. Notable Standard EquipmentThe Exige S complements its high-performance supercharged powertrain with more powerful anti-lock brakes (ABS) and the more aggressively-tuned Sport Pack suspension that's optional on the Elise (lightweight forged alloy wheels, wider and stickier tires and stiffer suspension). In addition to its leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel and deeply contoured cloth-covered bucket seats, the driver-centric cabin adds several comfort and convenience touches, including a four-speaker Alpine audio system with single-slot CD player (and arguably the world's least user-friendly controls), air conditioning, intermittent windshield wipers, a factory anti-theft/immobilizer system with keyless remote locking and dual front airbags. Notable Optional EquipmentKey Exige S extras include the Touring Pack (leather upholstery, upgraded sound system, power windows, additional sound insulation and full carpeting), Track Pack (driver-adjustable Bilstein shock absorbers with remote front reservoirs and threaded front spring perches, five-way adjustable front anti-roll bar, rear chassis reinforcement and provisions for bolt-in seat harnesses), Lotus Traction Control,a limited-slip differential, deletion of the air conditioning that cuts weight by 20 pounds, Starshield clear protective film for the front and rear and 18 different Metallic or Lifestyle paint colors. For those who demand the ultimate thrill, Lotus also offers a 252-horsepower non-street-legal variant called the Sport Exige Cup 255. Under the HoodSitting amidships in the Exige S is a supercharged and intercooled version of the same Toyota-sourced DOHC 1.8-liter in-line four used in the Lotus Elise. Here too, this high-winding screamer is fitted with performance-enhancing Variable Valve Timing and Lift intelligence (VVTL-i), paired with a custom Lotus electronic control package, that together add a bit more kick to the engine's mid-range response. The critical boost comes from the addition of the force-feeding package that bumps output from 190 to 220 horsepower and raises torque from 134 to 165 pound-feet—with 80 percent of that twist available from just 2,000 rpm. Still matched with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, it can send the Exige S streaking from zero to 60 miles per hour in a claimed 4.1 seconds and give it a top speed of 148 mph. The Lotus Exige S has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $60,815. Currently buyers are paying just shy of that for their cars, but Fair Purchase Prices that represent actual consumer transaction prices can differ substantially, so click on the Fair Purchase Prices to compare. As with any low-production vehicle—and particularly one as purpose-built as the Exige S—residual values can vary widely depending on an individual vehicle's condition and mileage. However, its cult status, robust mechanicals and general maintenance costs that fall well below those of high-end super-exotics bode well for the price an Exige S in good shape should be able to command on the pre-owned market. Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car. Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money !

Lotus hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco
Sat, 31 May 2014Being a Formula One driver has its privileges. First off, you get to drive F1 cars for a living. You get treated like royalty and fly around the world. And if you're lucky, you might get a supercar thrown at you once in a while. It all depends on which team you drive for.
Fernando Alonso, for example, has had countless Ferraris, Maseratis, Abarths and Jeeps thrown his way. Lewis Hamilton was a little disappointed not to get the keys to that rare McLaren F1 LM when he won the championship. But Pastor Maldonado just got his hands on a new Lotus Evora S.
Pastor who now, you ask? Pastor Maldonado. The first Venezuelan driver in F1, Maldonado won the GP2 title in 2010 then made the jump to F1, driving for Williams for the past three seasons, impressively winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012. Now he's at Lotus filling Kimi Raikkonen's seat, and took delivery of his white Evora - complete with 3.5-liter supercharged V6 and six-speed sequential gearbox - in Monte Carlo last weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix.
2020 Lotus Evora GT Road Test | Don’t forget about Lotus
Thu, Jun 25 2020Slipping into the leather, carbon fiber-backed seats and turning on the engine is an event in the 2020 Lotus Evora GT. Stick the stubby, unmarked key in the ignition, turn two notches; press a button on the remote; push the clutch in, and hold the “Engine Start” button down. The tachometer springs to life, zinging up past 2,000 rpm before settling into an even, but emphatic idle. If everybody wasnÂ’t already staring at the little British sports car in the parking lot, they are now. Once the astoundingly complex, but charming start procedure is done, the fun begins. Lotus has sold only one other more powerful version of the Evora in the United States, that being the GT430. This GT is rocking a poked and prodded version of the Toyota 3.5-liter V6 engine found in all Evoras, but as in some other versions, an Edelbrock supercharger has been added to boost output. With the six-speed manual, its output is 416 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Twist increases to 332 pound-feet with the six-speed automatic, but donÂ’t buy a Lotus with an automatic. Just donÂ’t do it. The gear lever snicks into first with positive, notch-like action. LotusÂ’ analog gauges stare back, displaying the most important information in a legible size and font. ThereÂ’s a digital speedometer tucked into a little nook under the steering wheel's red center line, just the right height for a quick glance downward. Grippy leather covers the 9 and 3 positions on the wheel, while soft Alcantara contrasts with the leather on the top and flat bottom of the wheel. Lotus clearly knows that sweaty racetrack hands and Alcantara donÂ’t mix. This clutch is heavy, is the first thought upon setting out on the road. It fits the car and makes the driver work a little to be smooth. Good. Driving a Lotus shouldnÂ’t be a walk in the park. The driving position is bang-on. Those manually-adjustable (and heated!) leather seats are mounted low, their bolsters large enough to be snug, but short enough to slip over getting in. The view forward doesnÂ’t leave much to be desired, but looking out the back is like looking through a mail slot. ThereÂ’s a tiny box of glass, but itÂ’s tinted, making it difficult to see whatever might be visible. Side mirrors it is, and those are plenty fine, even allowing a view of the wide rear hips. At speed, racecar vibes abound instantly.
Lotus Evija shown in John Player Special livery at Goodwood SpeedWeek
Fri, Oct 16 2020Goodwood SpeedWeek is here, and Lotus is using the event to highlight the upcoming Evija electric hypercar. Lotus is calling this the car’s “public dynamic debut,” which is relatively true, though the lack of a public audience at Goodwood does put a bit of a damper on the idea. Regardless, the livery used to wrap the Evija is what truly caught our attention. For those familiar with Lotus racing liveries of the past, youÂ’ll immediately recognize it as a modern take on the John Player Special livery. Lotus even photographed the Evija in this livery sitting next to a few old Formula 1 cars wearing the original John Player Special digs. Black and gold just looks proper on a Lotus racecar, and it looks absolutely superb on the Evija, too. Since this is technically a dynamic debut, Lotus also gave us a short video that you can check out below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The most intriguing part is the audio. Those electric motors are loud. It canÂ’t come close to matching the yowl of a high output gasoline engine, but the Evija is clearly going to make its own dramatic, electric noise. ThatÂ’s all well and proper, because extra theater is what electric cars typically lack. In an adjacent news brief, Lotus detailed some of the things it did to save weight. Lotus believes that “Colin Chapman would agree the Evija is 100% a true Lotus.” To make it so, Lotus says the carbon fiber monocoque is extremely light, weighing in at just 284 pounds, contributing to making it the lightest electric hypercar when it comes out (not as though thereÂ’s much competition). Using holes and free space contributed to the lightweighting efforts, too. The venturi tunnels through each rear haunch both save weight and produce downforce. The center console design and floating dashboard leave tons of empty space behind where weight would accumulate otherwise. LotusÂ’ crossbeam design for the dash helps it serve as a structural member and also houses the interior ventilation system, combining two elements into one and saving weight. Lotus says youÂ’ll be able to see the Evija attack the Supercar Run on SpeedWeek, where it will attempt to set a fast lap time against many other new supercars and hypercars. Related Video:
